The beginning of the end.

So...I have finally finished week 3 of month 2.  Roughly two weeks behind schedule but I finished.  After having to take a week off for my back, it was harder to get into the routine of working out on a daily basis.  I don't know what it is, but you just get into a mindset of "this workout can wait til tomorrow and it'll be ok."  And it was ok.  I didn't feel guilty for skipping one day and then getting back to it the following day because I knew I would do it. 

I'm really excited to finish this final week and see the end results.  With completing the Insanity program, you're asked to take before and after pictures.  I decided at the beginning I would take the before pictures and then wait to look at them again when comparing them to my after pictures.  I am so close to being able to take those after pictures and I look forward to comparing to see the results.  Already, I can see and feel the results so I have a good idea of what I'll see!  With this final week, I'm also looking ahead to decide what I want to do next.  I'm considering taking a week or two off and then completing another round of Insanity.  My main goal is to focus more on my nutrition; by taking advantage of the Team Beachbody program online and have my meals planned out for me.




 I don't expect different results...I expect BETTER results with a second round!  Does that still go under the definition of Insanity??

And the Week 2 Re-do

I never thought I would say this...

But it was nice being able to workout again today.  I seriously missed it, even the muscle fatigue and massive amount of sweat.  It honestly felt like an accomplishment to me.  I could have easily said that I needed another week off because of my back and that there was still some soreness but I knew I was ready.  Instead of making it an excuse, I made it the reason to keep pushing through...to prove to myself that I could do it. 

I decided to pick up where I left off and do the Max Interval Circuit tonight. There were a couple of workouts that I modified or completed at a slower rate...side suicide jumps, most definitely slower at those than before.  To get back on track with my workouts (since I'm a day behind), I plan to double up on Wednesday and Thursday.  Luckily, I have Wednesday off (HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!)  I also need to get back on track with my nutrition.  Having a week of no workouts was great but I definitely attribute no need to follow nutrition all the time to no workouts.  Hopefully this week goes more smoothly.

Wish me luck!  And to everyone that's doing Insanity or just working out, keep pushing yourself and digging deep.  You can do it!
