Today i had a gruelling 12 hour shift at work, so it was important for me to think ahead. Before leaving the house at 8 am, i made myself two slices of wholemeal toast with low fat spread and marmite (love it or hate it, right?!!) and a cup of Jasmine green tea which is so good to get me going on a morning.
Midday i walked into town and got myself a tin of tuna in sunflower oil to have with my pre-made brown rice. I always add garlic, onion and chillis to my brown rice, gives it an amazing flavour and it never tastes boring.
Unfortunatley i messed up with the timing of when my work's cafe closed as i'd planned to get a bowl of soup for my tea, so i was super hungry through the last hours of my shift. I'm not nor will i ever promote missing meals, it's so bad for your metabolism and it slows it right down. But in this case i really didn't have a choice, so when i got home i downed a large glass of my protein smoothie which gave my stomach and body the goodness i need. A few rice cakes with peanut butter gave me some healthy fats before bed. Great bedtime snack by the way.
And tomorrow is a new day!
Sorry for lack of pictures, my phone now has no memory, so need to find some time to back up my 1000s of photos and clear some room for clean eating and exercise photos!
Sweet dreams!

DAY 4: MEAL PLAN
I've slacked a little today guys. Not in the eating department, in the uploading photos department. Haha, not too much of a let down...but my phone decided to mess up big time and not want to drop anything into dropbox after my breakfast photo! So i only have one photo for this post, boo..i feel like i've let myself down.
Instead, i'm going to thoroughly describe my other two meals!
But for breakfast, i made myself three medium poached eggs, with wholemeal seed bread and a little low fat butter spread. I enjoyed this hugely as it was a change from my normal porridge routine.
Once at work, i noshed on brown rice again i know, but it's so yummy..a tin of tuna in sunflower oil which i drained off, and a salad made up of crunchy iceburg lettuce, tangy cherry tomatoes and some crisp cucumber. Sounds a little boring, but i promise you i enjoyed it a helluva lot.
Once home, i put myself a chicken breast seasoned with a homemade mixture of spices (secret secret) and a few bunches of steamed broccolli. Eating this after the Cardio Recovery seemed like heaven, i felt so re-juvanated, yet not tired or down on energy.
I honestly think this clean eating and Insanity could be something i go on to do for longer than the 60 days. Definitley the clean eating, it's a lifestyle change. But even Insanity, incorperating that into my normal days once i've done the challenge doesn't half seem like a bad idea. I'll be suuuuuuper fit too!
So i apologise for the lack of photo's, i'll be back on the ball tomorrow with the uploading. Providing my iPhone stops having a mind of it's own and listens to it's Master......ME!
Night!

FIT TEST
1 day down, 59 to go.
After completing the fit test, it gave me a tiny insight into what i can expect for the next 59 days. HARD WORK. Once pressing play, and listening to Shaun T's motivating words i thought 'this should be relatively easy, it's day 1'......um NO. Training to be a professional dancer enables me to have slightly higher fitness levels and my stamina isn't too bad either, but even for myself who has a highly active lifestyle i found myself dripping (i mean literally dripping) with sweat.
Somehow, i managed to keep pace with the majority of the exercises, Suicide Jumps, not so much. My legs were crying out.
The idea is to complete each of the exercises above for one minute, seeing how many you can manage within 60 seconds. I swear without Shaun T's constant 'COME ON, DIG DEEPER' ....'YOU'RE HALFWAY THERE..YOU CAN DO THIS!!' I honestly would have taken 5 minute breaks in between, but that guy knows how to shout and get you going seriously.
Tips:
Tomorrow i have Plyometric Cardio Circuit, i'm not entirely sure what that's going to involve, but no doubt i'll be once again making my living room into a sweat swimming pool and gasping for air once again.

Picture quality isn't great, the results are:
Switch Kicks 116 Globe Jumps 13
Power Jacks 62 Suicide Jumps 16
Power Knees 110 Push Up Jacks 20
Power Jumps 40 Low Plank 50
Tips:
- Breathing is SO important, without it you can guarantee nauseous feelings and light headedness.
- DON'T drink water immediatley before working out, i did and could feel it swishing about (not good)
- Take tiny sips of water throughout, anymore and you'll chuck it up 30 seconds later
- KEEP GOING!!
