I am so excited to share my results! I worked my tail off (literally) to make it through this program. It was TOUGH, challenging physically and mentally and I am so excited that I survived! This is by far, the most difficult program I have ever completed.
Yes, I am excited that I lost a few pounds and inches, but I am being completely honest when I say this is not what I am most proud of. Insanity Max:30 challenged me in ways I didn't expect. The physical challenge pushed me to my limits, but that is when you have to choose to focus on your mind and stay in the game.
Every time my legs wanted to quit, I had to choose to overcome my MaxOut and push forward. Every time my arms wanted to let me fall on my face, I had to stay in the game mentally. My motto became "when you can't do one more, do 3!" (Thank you to the girl in the video that shared this little nugget!)
This was so difficult, but the mental triumph I felt every time it worked cannot be compared. Every week I was able to see my improvements, not only in the way my clothes fit or the number on the scale, but in my MaxOut times each week. Every workout I would aim to go at least 2 minutes longer than I did the last time. It was a hard goal to reach, and some days I just wanted to give up. But I persevered! I pushed through!
The best result and the thing I am most proud of is the feeling that I can conquer the world after every workout. The feeling that if I can complete my workout and give it my all, that I can do anything! I feel so empowered and proud.
Do not mistake my results with perfection. I did NOT eat perfectly the entire time. I tried to eat healthy, but I had cheat meals. I ate chocolate and pasta with alfredo sauce. But I did not let a cheat throw me off track. After a cheat meal, I would get back on track!
I did NOT get my workout in every single day. Gasp! I am human! Sometimes life gets in the way, but every time life got in the way and I could not get my workout done, I would make it up. I would count it as my rest day and get back on track.
A healthy journey, is just that...a JOURNEY. It is not about perfection, it's about progress. :)
