Weekly Update!

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 days a week (Saturday is an optional day for recovery).

Here are some shots from last week...

It's been a while...

Hello there! It's been a while huh? Um I think about 3 years!! A lot has happened in those 3 years...3 places of work, pregnancy, and mom life! So what's new?? I worked at a small outpatient clinic...didn't like it! Went to an awesome hospital in the city...LOVED it!! Then after having my son took a position at a local hospital...only 8 minutes from home vs the hospital in the city which was 55 minutes on a good traffic day! I found out I was prego a few days before Christmas 2016...yes it was planned. For YEARS, we said NO kids ever! My father died in 2015 and my whole thought process on kiddos changed! Landon David arrived 8/14/17 via planned c section...he was breech! I stressed myself out incredibly too much about sleep, breastfeeding, being perfect, etc AND I suffered from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety! One thing I have learned about Motherhood is that you can plan, but you have to expect the unexpected!! Once I accepted this, my anxiety died down A LOT...
