The first 30 days of Insanity Max 30 are in the books. I've tracked my Max Out times and pushed myself to surpass those times as the weeks went on. I have almost doubled my Cardio Challenge time (which is a program goal) and I more than doubled my Friday Fight time. The workouts were fun, yet challenging. I love, love, love Shaun T so I knew this was a logical purchase for me.
This brings me to the title of this post. I gave 100% to the workouts. I pushed myself farther and modified way less. My results were good but my diet is holding me back. There is no such thing as a bad workout.... But bad nutrition is very real. And you can't undo a bad diet with great workouts.
We have been cleaning up our diet. Jon, Kara and I have found a lot of new recipes that we all enjoy. They can be found under my recipes tab. I haven't packed a sandwich for lunch since this began 30 days ago--which is HUGE for me. I was a peanut butter and banana every day packer for years. Since this began, I've been a spinach salad every day packer.
So what am I doing wrong? The occassional 2:00 pm run to the soda machine (I know, I know). The handfuls of almonds while I'm making dinner. The Dairy Queen run the night of the power outage. The BoJangles on Friday night because the first week back after Spring Break meant I "deserved" it. Ugh... I deserve that?!? What was I thinking!?
What I deserve is for my hard work at 4:45 am each morning to not be for nothing. What I deserve is to stick to the planned meals I've already got prepped. What I deserve is not having to go through caffeine withdrawal the next day because I had to have a soda. I deserve to be fighting disease, not feeding it. Most importantly Kara deserves all of this. If I can't be strong enough for myself, the next 30 I will be strong enough for her!
