Insanity Max 30 - Week 4 In Review
Cannot believe I am writing my halfway point review already!A month ago I never would have thought I would have survived the program letalone during the holidays. BUT I am here to tell you I made it! 30 more days togo and I will have completed the entire Insanity Max 30 program. Feels good to stick with your goals!
My hubby joined me again a few times this week. We got theworkouts in during the evening. It seems like the time passes by quicker when Ihave him to workout with me. We treat working out together like date night. It’sour time after our son goes to bed. Not only is our marriage benefiting, but sois our health. Our picture below is from one of our workouts. We were drenchedby the end of our 30 minutes. Cardio challenge is no joke!
Tabata Strength still seems to get me. My upper body is notas strong as it should be so all of the push-ups really kill me. I think Idislike the diamond push-ups the most. Completely shaking when I do them. The video below shows a few of the movesfrom the strength workout.
For New Years we traveled back home to visit family again.Felt like we were just there but nonetheless we were excited to see everyoneagain. I slept in that morning before we traveled home and sort of wish I hadn’tafter the fact. My little man joined me and he was the king of interruptionsthat day. My 30-minute workout took about 50 minutes. He needed a potty break,some snacks and completely made a mess of the basem*nt. It was a great reminderof why I get up so early to get the workouts in. It’s my “me” time and I don’talways love to share it with anyone. It’s a good thing he is cute.
My nutrition was not great this week. New Years Eve and NewYears Day were so-so. I packedsnacks when I traveled home and did fantastic all week with my water. For NewYears Eve my hubby and I went out to dinner at a local restaurant back at home.We ate well – fresh bruschetta for an appetizer, we both had filet mignon andmashed potatoes with broccoli and cauliflower. It really hit the spot and was delicious.We also had a glass of wine. I was really filled up but since we stayed up solate for New Years, I did have some pizza around 10 pm. Not ideal but it wasthere and I just felt like eating it. Friday night I decided I wanted DairyQueen. I wanted the ice cream more than I cared about staying on track. I hatewhen it happens but I am human too. So I picked a peanut buster parfait and he had a cookie doughblizzard. I felt so gross after I ate it. You see once you eat clean all thetime sugar and junk food actually makes you feel sick and sluggish.
Saturday I made up for the one workout I missed during theweek so I wore my heart rate monitor to see how many calories I burned off incomparison to the parfait. The parfait had 710 calories and my workout onlyburned 227. I think we you see how hard to have to work for treats like that itmakes those treats a little less appealing. At least for me it does.
I am nervous to start the second half of this program. Itwill only get harder from here. I suppose I am now conditioned for it frommonth one, but it still scares me. My goal for this week is to focus on mynutrition and stay on track. I have done a meal plan for myself so that I haveno excuses. I am also really excited about this coming week because I have anevent for Beachbody in Pittsburgh Friday and Saturday. I will get to spend theweekend with all of the top coaches in my organization as well as the CEO of Beachbodyand Autumn Calabrese the creator of the 21 -day fix, which is my favoriteBeachbody program. We get to get all dressed up, Friday is a white carpet eventand Saturday we have to wear sequin co*cktail dresses. Trainings andcelebrations! I can’t even wait! Love dressing up and love everything aboutBeachbody. The opportunity has been a blessing and completely changed mylifestyle. Beachbody coaches truly are some special people. I am lucky to haveso many in my life!
