Embrace the Burn

After a week of Shakeology, it was time to add a workout into the mix. I made a commitment that I would workout 30 minutes a day, five days a week, without exception or excuse.

Insanity is the REAL DEAL! And it is hard! I had not workout out in close to five years. I was completely out of shape. Insanity starts off with a fitness test. I was workout out alone and was just about embarrassed at my level of fitness. Day 2 was pretty discouraging. I had to take frequent breaks and had to hit the pause button several times. I barely made it through the workout.

The next day I was sore! But I had made a commitment, so I was going to push through. Insanity comes with a workout chart and workout calendar. Each workout builds on the last, so it makes sense. I made it through the first week and felt better about myself. Between Shakeology and some better nutritional choices, I felt tremendous! The best part is... I was DOWN ANOTHER 3 POUNDS! Yes, I put it in ALL CAPS!
