Prepping for Insanity

I have been struggling to push myself past this plateau I seem to be stuck in for awhile now.  I think it's because I've gotten too comfortable with the workouts AND been a little too lax with the eating.  It's HARD though when you've got your kids birthdays and Easter treats all in one month!!!

So we're going to kick it up a notch: 

 ... Enter..... INSANITY!

Looks scary doesn't it??  I think one of my friends said  "It looks like it's designed to kill you"  
I've had this program downstairs in the cabinet for some time, but I haven't had the courage to tackle this quite yet.  I think now is the time. 

I was able to lose 30 pounds by following the 21 Day Fix, PiYo program and drinking Shakeology daily, but I think I've gotten to comfortable and need to get outside my comfort zone a little and give my booty a kick in the pants!  It doesn't need to be perfection right, just needs to be progress.  So I'm ready to push just a little bit more. 

I'm going to try to get the hubby on board with me this time around too to get me through this.
I've been a 21 Day fix lover for quite some time now and those consisted of quick 30 minute workouts so to do these ones that are an average of 45 minutes will be an adjustment.  But, something I will have to plan for each day and make it happen.  When you put in the work, you'll get the results and the only person that can do that for yourself is YOU. 

The food plan is quite different from the 21 Day Fix program as well.  You still eat 5 mini meals a day but I've noticed it's very protein heavy.  In the book, the nutrition plan gives you ideas for each of your five meals.  So all I had to do was go through each meal section and pick and chose what was going to work for me this week and our schedule. 

After doing some meal planning, here is a sample of a one of my days in week #1 :

Meal #1 -  PB toast with cottage cheese
Meal #2 - Vanilla Berry Protein Shake
Meal #3 -  Chocolate Shakeology with PB and 1/2 banana
Meal #4 -  Rotisserie chicken and a salad
Meal #5 -  Steak and salad

It all starts with food right?  They say it's 80% food and 20% exercise that will determine your success in this.  So I'm making sure my kitchen is stocked this week with ALL the good stuff!

So here's the before photos and stats.  I guess I'm committed now! 

Beginning Stats:
Weight - 145
Bust - 37
Waist - 30
Hips - 39

I'm not alone in this and that's the main reason I think I've stuck to these programs for the past 7 months.  My fellow challengers and friends keep me accountable each and every day.  I'm there to cheer them on, and they cheer me on when I need it. I could NOT have gotten to where I am today without the help of them inspiring me each and every day! 
 

 

So on to the next 60 DAYs!!! GULP!

  Just got to keep telling myself that it doesn't need to be perfection, it just needs to be progress.

So excited to see where this will take me!
