Right after I was given the all clear to start working out I started insanity. I think that was the absolute worst idea I have ever had. I hadn't worked out in 5 months before that time and I foolishly thought I could just jump right in and complete the 60 days. I needed to start slow. So I completed about a week and realized I wasn't ready physically or mentally.
So I did little workouts here and there to get my body back. I will give Jillian Michaels credit. She got my body ready to start insanity.
February I completed the 30 day shred. Loved it. Felt great afterwards and saw good results.
March (I know it's not over haha oh well) I (almost) completed ripped in 30 and you know what? I look the same. My measurements are the same. I don't even understand how in the world that is possible but whatever.
SO I decided instead of waiting until next monday to start insanity I would start last night. And so I did.
I compared my fit test scores from the first time I did it months ago and I more than doubled some of them. Felt great knowing that even if my body doesn't want to let it go I am getting stronger.
I will be blogging about my whole experience. The good, the bad, the hard, and the triumphs.
Completing day two and actually doing the entire workout was amazing. Before I could barely get through the warm up. Now I am right there with everyone all the way to the stretching at the end. Definitely feel like I am in beast mode.
My sister gets married June 28th. I have a dance recital June 8th (yes I still take an alumni class. Let me tell you, trying to leap with an extra 35 pounds is not even remotely easy.) Basically June is when I need to be rockin!
Recap of my weekend:
Ate this delicious homemade burrito topped with lettuce and avocado.
Bought these amazingly comfortable running shoes. Makes running a million times better.
Drank this delicious berry, banana, and vanilla creme protein shake. Yummy!
My husband and I thought we would have a major cheat weekend. So we had pizza with our friends on Saturday and got a bunch of candy that we never ever ever ever buy. Well we both ate like 4 pieces (I got diet dr shasta) and we were done. We've been eating so good that candy made us sick! So our cheat weekend turned into a not so cheat weekend.
I love salad. Especially with lots of veggies and chicken.
Here is to the next 60 days of hard work and eating right!
Awesome! So excited to see your results with Insanity!
