Finishing Insanity Max 30

I am so happy I completed Insanity Max 30... it was a killer program.. and I had a love/hate relationship with it the entire time.... LOL... I loved the fact it was only 30 min. long... it was so great not to have to workout for so long... I could do it early enough in the day and not have it interfere with what I was doing that day...  I improved every workout I did and that felt good...

My max out times were not that high, but I tried to just keep focused on my form and to really do my best with that... and I always hit it super hard... I realized you can't compare yourself to anyone else... We are all different and live very different lives... You just do the best you can.. and thats what I did...

As I continue on with my journey... I am turning to P90X3 and so far I think I like it... this program is also only 30 min which I LOVE! and I really would like to get some definition in my arms.. I got a little with Insanity Max but I would like more... and I think P90X3 will really help me with that.. and not only that I am going to be starting my training for my marathon here pretty soon in May!! So I think it will help me lean out a little and in turn help me with my running game!!  So stay tuned for more results and tough days ahead.. thanks for all your support and encouragement!

Insanity Max 30 Results

I have been putting this off for as long as I can...

I have to admit, I was really nervous to put my results up... cause there wasn't much change...   I worked my butt off for 2 months.. and really don't have a whole lot to show for it... and I know why... EATING.... my eating habits are awful...


Even when I make a conscious effort to be better it's still really hard... super hard... A few years ago I didn't have any problems saying no to sweets, cause I wanted the best results ever.. and I got some really dang awesome results!! I need to re-commit myself to being healthier all around... I tell you... it really sucks to literally beat your body every day.. and only lose 3lbs.. Burning all those calories means nothing if you can't keep EXTRA calories out of your mouth...

So... even though I am a little embarrassed to share, I need to do this to keep me on track and accountable... this is just a little change...but makes me see if I am not eating correctly things won't change much....


Here they are... Now also realize I did fall off the wagon and gained a little after I stopped doing Insanity and trained for my half's...  so anyway here are my results



Insanity Max 30 Start Date: January 5th 2015

Starting  Weight: 189 lbs.

Ending Weight: 186 lbs.


L Arm Start: 12"
L Arm End: 12"

R Arm Start: 12"
R Arm End: 12 1/4"

L Thigh Start: 25 1/2"
L Thigh End: 23 1/2"

R Thigh Start: 25 1/2"
R Thigh End: 24"

L Calf Start: 15"
L Calf End:  15"

R Calf Start: 14 1/2"
R Calf End: 15"

Waist Start: 45 1/2"
Waist End: 42"

Hips Start: 45"
Hips End:  43 1/2"

Chest Start: 41 1/2"
Chest End: 40 1/4"

So a total of 3lbs lost and about 8 3/4" inches lost all around... I have to be happy about some loss but wish I would have worked harder on my eating to make it more of a loss... Also the fact that I improved each and every time I did my workouts is something to celebrate!!

Now for the Before and After......
