Merry Christmas Friends :) Last week was my first week of Insanity Max 30 and it ROCKED! I LOVE how much this program is pushing me out of my recent comfort zone. I really need this workout to get me out of a slump and into the BEST shape of my life...again! I have huge fitness goals for 2015 and this will help me get there!! My first Max Out time was 5:36 minutes. What does Max Out mean? Maxing out is when you cannot go anymore and need a break or water OR you break form. I am happy to say that my Max Out time has improved already! It's crazy how quickly you see results with this program! WOW is all I have to say. Now I haven't done any measurements since Day 1, but my body and mind are so much stronger after just 1 week! There is a modifier so don't let the word "Insanity" scare you off! This program is for most everyone :) I am currently doing a mix of the modifications and full moves. The program is of course for 60 days with all 30 minute workouts 5-6...

I had a fabulous week!! I ate clean 100% until Friday. I lost 2.2lbs!! This time of year is really tough on me. I usually say..."oh well, it's the holidays!" and I eat what I want to some degree. Well, I think this kicked in earlier than usual this year and I gained 8lbs from Halloween to Thanksgiving...yikes!! That is a lot on my 4'11" frame! I am determined to lose all 8lbs before Christmas!! Anyway, this week I changed it up a bit with some T25, PiYo, and 21 Day Fix workouts. I ordered my Insanity Max 30 Tuesday and am somewhat patiently awaiting it's arrival :) Here are some pics from this week... I know for me personally, if I don't start Monday with an awesome workout and 100% on my nutrition, the rest of the week can go down the toilet! Gotta love some PiYo every so often to keep my flexibility!! LOVE Shaun T and his ab workouts!! This was me in my new full length workout leggings from Fabletics. LOVE them!! I was als...
