Insanity Asylum Volume 1, Day 1 Meals

I had the bagel with peanut butter and ate half the strawberries for breakfast. I drank my shakeology mid morning for a snack and then finished the strawberries from breakfast. I ended up not being able to eat my lunch but always carry a healthy protein bar with me so I had that in the early afternoon. When I got home from work I had some plain greek yogurt with blueberries mixed in. Dinner was delicious and so low in calories!!! Here are the recipes:

21 Day Fix Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
2 lbs lean ground turkey
Sea salt, parsley, paprika and garlic powder to taste
1 large egg, beaten
2 cups rolled oats
4 tbsp. tomato sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the raw turkey meat, seasonings, egg, oats and tomato sauce. Roll in to 1 inch balls and place them on the sheet.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until no longer pink inside.

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
Two fresh heads of cauliflower

Directions:
Rinse cauliflower to remove any dirt. Take a knife and chop the cauliflower into smaller sections and away from the center brine. Remove any greenery. Drop the cauliflower chunks into a large pot of boiling water. Cover.
Keep checking it for softness every 15 minutes. If a fork easily slides through it, then it's ready. Make sure you don't take it out before it's finished or it will be chunky with hard pieces. Use a mixer or food processor and blend until smooth. Add sea salt and pepper to taste.

Health Bet Beginnings

Yesterday I took the fit assessment and here's how I did:
Agility Heisman--6
In & Out Ab Progression--16
Push-up--12
Mountain Climber Switch Kicks--46
Agility Shoulder Taps--2
X Jumps--20
Moving Push-ups--1
Agility Lateral Shuffle--6
Agility Bear Crawl--4

Now, I'm posting these because in 2 weeks I take the assessment again to see how I've progressed and then again at the end of the program.

This morning I weighed in & took my measurements, which I'll do again after a month.
Weight=118.8
Chest=34
Right arm=11
Left arm=10.5
Waist=29
Hips=33
Right thigh=18
Left thigh=18
(I'm not trying to lose weight. My main goal is to tone more & work on a 6 pack lol. And also to become stronger)

Day 1 workout, Insanity Asylum Volume 1 Agility & Speed, was intense but I got through the whole thing. Even though it's an "insane" workout, I absolutely love working out and taking care of myself. Between exercising, drinking shakeology and eating healthy, I feel the best than I ever have in my life! I'm so thankful I found Beachbody. It's not just the health & fitness piece but the Beachbody community is absolutely wonderful. Very supportive and motivating. I can't say enough good things about Beachbody.

Here's a little snippet of today's workout:
