EEK! Insanity Max 30 BEFORE PICTURES!

As promised, I said I would share my before pictures, however unflattering they may be!!

ACCOUNTABILITY at it's BEST!

My starting weight is 162.4 and I started on December 29th, 2014 {being yesterday}! 

So far, I maxed out at 8:28 on Cardio Challenge & 11:20 on Tabata Power! 

I am so NOT going to lie, I have to get myself in the game MENTALLY before I go after this workout! There is something about pushing PAST the time you had last time, pushing yourself when you feel like you CAN'T go anymore... The competitor in me is in LOVE! 

Putting my BEST foot forward for this year, and I am committing to this 60 days, no matter what happens, this is a commitment, and if I have to do this workout at midnight because I slacked all day, midnight it shall be! 

AND, enough procrastination, here they are!

This program, SCARES me on a DAILY basis. Why?! Because I KNOW how hard I worked on said DVD of the calendar, and I KNOW it's going to be a HUGE challenge to overcome, and move PAST the limits I set the week prior with my max out time. Sometimes you just gotta BREATHE IN COURAGE, and EXHALE THE FEAR! 

I will share my ENTIRE journey through this blog, along with new recipes I've tried throughout, using the container system that Insanity Max 30 uses (as well as 21 Day Fix).

FAMILY FRIENDLY recipes coming soon! 

New Year, New ME

I think this may be the FIRST Christmas, where I feel stronger at the END of December than I did at the beginning!! Finally, I have learned to LISTEN to what my body needs, and not just eat everything in sight because it tastes good (Although I did eat a few too many Lindt chocolates, who can resist those?!).

I worked out everyday, I ate healthy, and on Christmas Day, I ate whatever I FELT like having, and yes, I definitely indulged. BUT, it was one day, and feeling the way I felt AFTER, was only a better reminder as to WHY I do this, why I strive to be as healthy as possible, because all I wanted to do was SLEEP after! 

I feel like I have made SO much progress in 2014. To be honest, I thought I would have a chiseled body by now. LOL I most definitely do not. But I can tell you that I learned so much about ME this year. I learned how to fuel my body, I don't have binge sessions anymore where I completely sabotage myself… I still have my mommy tummy, and I still have stretch marks. This time though, I am looking at those thing with LOVE. Those things are part of ME, and I have learned to FULLY embrace the person I am, and the body I have been blessed with. It's hard to improve something, or want to take care of something, when you don't LOVE it. 

My body is so much stronger than it was last year, it's more toned, I have more endurance, but the BIGGEST transformation was in my MIND! It IS all about progress. Learning, growing, becoming better… We are blessed with ONE life, and one body to carry us through that life. I will strive to constantly learn more things, strengthen my body, my heart, my soul, and continue on embracing new experiences so I can fully ENJOY my life! Without constantly challenging myself, I feel like I just sit back and watch life pass me by, and I refuse to do that. I spent WAY too much time doing that, and now it's time to step out of my comfort zone, do hard things, and truly see what I was made for! 

I am officially starting Insanity Max TOMORROW (before pictures to follow!). This for me is going to be such a MENTAL battle… I LOVE working out with Gavin, he pushes me to push harder (the competitive streak in each of us! LOL). :) But with a Max out time, I'm competing with MYSELF, and the time I DID in the past. Everytime I go into the workout, I CAN'T just go through the motions, I have to mentally CRUSH my last goal, and set a new one. I have to push everyday. I am SO excited to embrace a NEW challenge. Gavin and I tried it yesterday, and we were both excited, oblivious of what was to come. Let's just say it ended with him on the floor and me not being able to get off the couch!

So here we go, onto 2015. Onto bigger and better things. Onto new experiences, new challenges, new victories, and all new struggles. That's what makes life. 

I am starting off on the right foot, with a DEDICATION to blog at least once a week about my journey, and I'll be posting my resolutions, along with my before pictures by the first! 

Here is my meal plan, along with the new container count for Insanity Max… I am coming out of this 60 days a BRAND NEW PERSON!

Love your Coach,

Krys
