Insanity Max 30 Month 1 RECAP & Meal Plan

If you want to take part in my next Insanity Max 30 group, email me at mskfitness@yahoo.ca, Subject INSANITY MAX 30

I am on the LAST WEEK of Month 1 of Insanity Max 30! That went by WAY too quickly! I can't believe I'm even writing that, I feel like I started it just a mere week ago!

The first week I did this program, it was TOUGH. I had lower max out times, I didn't feel as strong, but what it was, was that I wasn't MENTALLY that strong yet!

Now into week 4, I feel like this program has TRAINED MY BRAIN to continually PUSH my limits. Our bodies are COMPLEX, when you exert energy and use your muscles for something they are struggling to perform, you feel the BURN. This is your body PUSHING itself so that it can repair and become STRONGER to adapt to a new lifestyle. Your body can do anything, it REALLY IS your mind you have to convince.

When I'm working out now, I don't stop when I'm tired. I strive to hit my last week max out (which I STRUGGLED to hit), and then strive to go as long as I possibly can after. You can see how each week if you continue to go past, how much stronger YOU will get, but also how much stronger your MIND will get, that you CAN do anything! 

I did Cardio Challenge on Monday, and was DYING after! BUT, for some ODD reason, (it honestly was like I had an alien in my body TAKE OVER :P), I walked over and put Speed 3.0 IN! That was my TOUGHEST workout before I started Insanity Max 30. And guess what? I PUSHED THROUGH. I felt stronger than I EVER HAVE because I KNEW, after 3 weeks of Insanity Max, that I could push my body to do just about ANYTHING! What a HIGH!! 

This week I'm pushing myself to do my BEST, especially with Month 2, and tougher workouts, LOOMING! 

I am dialing into my nutrition more than I ever have. I truly believe that you can work your BUTT OFF, but if your nutrition ISN'T there, you aren't going to see results!

Today I did Tabata Strength, and maxed at a cool 21:37. I worked THROUGH the burn, and pushed myself to that NEXT exercise. I knew the burn wouldn't last long, because we'd be onto something ELSE! 

Pre-Workout : Shakeology w/ a quarter Banana

Post workout: Chicken wrap with Tzatziki, veggies & Sriracha

This week, I need to work on WATER consumption!! THAT is my big goal! Below is my meal plan, but remember not to use it to a T for yourself. We ALL have different bodies, and react differently to different foods. I KNOW these foods work for me, and they make me feel great. I like to repeat foods; I don't like to make a complex meal everyday. I love wraps, so I eat a lot of them. Almonds are my best friend! LOL So I eat them for my afternoon snack almost daily. Keep it simple. Don't overcomplicate it!

I think this workout is truly ADDICTIVE. I think about it ALL the time and look forward to seeing myself push PAST the day before. Beating YOURSELF is the BEST feeling you can have. COMMIT and you WILL succeed!

Here are the details on this workout:

What is INSANITY MAX:30?

INSANITY MAX:30 is a 60-day in home workout program that pushes people to their personal max in just 30 minutes a day without equipment for jaw-dropping visible results. INSANITY MAX:30 makes people push as hard as they can for as long as they can until they MAX OUT - the point when they just can't do any more or they begin to lose good form.  They'll then note their MAX OUT time, recover, and finish the rest of the workout. Every day they'll push to increase their previous MAX OUT time so they constantly progress, improve their fitness, and get the full body results they've always wanted.  And for the first time the program includes a low-impact modifier for every move so anyone at any level can MAX OUT without the impact to their joints.

Who should buy the program?

INSANITY MAX:30 is for anyone who is looking to lose weight, tone up and get the best body of their life!  It's perfect for anyone short on time who wants a  jaw-dropping body in just 30 minutes a day. The low impact modifier makes this program approachable to people of all skill levels.   It's also great for anyone who wants a flexible eating plan, or anyone who does not want to use any equipment.

One more week! THEN PROGRESS PICTURES! Go TIME!

Insanity Max Continues...

The FIRST week of Insanity was GREAT, but the SECOND WEEK! FOR real, best program out there.

Why?!

The SECOND week, we got a chance to try to beat OURSELVES. Our own max out times. Not ANYONE else's. We weren't sitting here wondering if someone else might be doing this easily, making it to the end with no trouble (let's be honest, we see someone in shape and we think they're perfect and have NO struggle!). 

This program shows we ALL have a max out time, we push harder, go deeper, go FASTER, and we MAX OUT. That IS the goal of the program! It shows everyone in the group that we are all just PEOPLE competing with ourselves, seeking to be BETTER than we were before <3 

Now, in preparation for WEEK 3 of this incredible program, I really am working on nutrition.

HALFWAY pictures WILL be coming up on Monday two weeks from tomorrow. THIS seriously blew me AWAY. How did it come that quickly?! It's time to seriously focus on the nutrition end of Insanity Max 30!

It uses the 21 day Fix container system, however with different brackets, and it puts me in a HIGHER bracket than I was in. I was feeling I was eating TOO MUCH for me, so I went back to the bracket I used before and I'll be starting that tomorrow.

Please don't mind the REPEAT meals, I'm a creature of habit, and like what I like. If its easy, I like it, then it'll be eaten SEVERAL times during the week. LOL Hence the Shakeology ALWAYS for breakfast, followed by Greek Yogurt w/Strawberries, almost EVERY single day!

I will be looking for some new recipes to try this week, so I can add them in NEXT week (despite me REALLY not wanting to... I am used to THIS meal plan LOL). I need to try some new things so I can be a better Coach, and MOM LOL My kids need some variety! 

Your Coach,

Avocado Garlic Spread Recipe

This is my ALL TIME favourite "condiment" to use on burgers! I feel like I'm eating at a high end restaurant LOL

Not only will this add a TON of flavour to your next burger meal, but it's INCREDIBLY healthy and full of vitamins, minerals and healthy fats! Remember your body still NEEDS fat to burn fat! Just the RIGHT kinds!

BY THE WAY, any recipe I post has been TESTED several times and APPROVED by the family! The kids loved it!

Serving Size: Enough for one family meal as it tends to go bad quickly!

Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado
1/4 small red onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbs Greek 0% Plain Yogurt
Pinch of Chili Powder
Pinch of Pepper
1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinaigrette (OPTIONAL: I use Panera bread balsamic)

Directions:

Combine together in a magic bullet until you have the desired consistency and SPREAD!

Enjoy!
