Hi I am new to this board and have spent all morning reading over posts and you all seem really helpful when it comes to advice so I was hoping you could help me.
A week ago I started doing the insanity workout and the week before that I started rock climbing twice a week. I wasn't very active before that maybe going to the 1 or 2 times a week for 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of weights. The insanity workouts are tough but I dont feel like when I do them I am over doing it though. On Saturday though I was actually shopping for my wedding dress and almost passed out while trying on dresses and felt just weak and fatigued the whole day that I had to switch my rest day for my workout cause there was no way I could have done it without passing out.
I am keeping track of my daily calories in a app similar to MFP and am usually having 1500-1700 calories a day which from what I have read is about right for the level of activity and trying to lose weight. I am not eating quite as healthy as I should be but an average day is eggs or cereal for breakfast, ham or turkey sandwich for lunch, and pasta or chicken and veggies for dinner. I also eat a few snacks during the day like a yogurt or wheat thins.
I am pretty sure I felt like that because of the new workouts but I am not sure what to do to make sure it doesnt happen again and still be able to keep up with the hihg intensity workouts becuase other than that day I am feeling so much better about getting in shape and motivated. I was thinking about adding some sort of protein drink to supplement but am not sure if this would be a good idea or what kind would be best. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
