8.22.16 - Day 8

Max Out Time: 9:00

Insanity Max:30 #Day8 complete!
Today's workout: Cardio Challenge PLUS Ab Attack:10!

The only thing I wanted to do tonight was go to bed but I knew I had to push play first.

 I didn't realize I had the extra ten minute ab workout to add on but it ended up being a nice, yet very challenging surprise!

I know it looks like two different shirts but I promise it's the same one haha. It's amazing at how different the lightening changed in those 40 minutes!

Hello,
#Week2 ! I am ready for ya! πŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ‘Š������

 
 
8.23.16 - Day 9

Max Out Time: N/A
Total Number of Push-ups: 76
 
Week two day two! Day nine is in the books baby!! πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ

Definitely a lot harder when you do a workout right before bed and then do your next one as soon as you wake up the next day!

Felt that burn an extra lot this morning but it hurt so good! 😜


Since push-ups are always my weak spot I've been keeping track of how many I do during the workout so I can see my progression the more I do it!

Now I'm feeling extra awake and ready to take on this fine sunny Tuesday! ☀️
 
 
8.24.16 - Day 10
 
---afternoon post:
Today my mom brought my niece and nephew up to visit for the afternoon!
 
What did we do?
Hiking ✔️
Park ✔️
Beach ✔️

Had so much fun with the fam today!
 
---nighttime post:
Today when we were at the beach I was reallllly thirsty so I went to get a water out of the vending machine, only to find out that all the water in the machine was sold out.

I then tried to get my change instead and for some reason it wouldn't work.

So, I figured I mine as well at least get something because I didn't want to waste my $2.00. My only options were Coke, Diet Coke, Cherry Coke,
Root Beer, Fanta, and Sprite.

(( I haven't had pop in 8 years. I used to LOVE Pepsi but when I was diagnosed with IBS in 2008 pop was one thing on the list I wasn't supposed to have. ))

Going back to the vending machine - I figured my best choice would be Sprite. That's what they tell you to drink when you're sick, right?

I was thirsty so I just went with it.

I had a few sips of it and it tasted awful.
It didn't quench my thirst at all. It gave me a headache. It made me super bloated and I just felt like crap.

So was not worth the two dollars. I should've just said f it and been out the money.
 
---the next morning post:
I fell asleep before 8:30 last night so for those of you wondering, I DID take my rest day yesterday.

According to the Insanity Max:30 calendar I'm supposed to take my rest days on Sunday but since I took it yesterday instead, I'll be making up that workout on Sunday.
 
 
8.25.16 - Day 11
 
Max Out Time: N/A
Total Number of Push-ups: 118
 
Day 11 complete! Tabata Power!
Took yesterday as my rest day so if you're wondering where my post if for Day 10, there's your answer!

According to the
#InsanityMax30 calendar rest days are supposed to be on Sunday's so since I took mine yesterday I will be making up yesterday's workout on Sunday!
 EXCITING NEWS THO!!

GUESS WHAT!!!??

I kept track of how many push ups I did in Tabata Power on Tuesday and then again today...

Tuesday I did 54 and today I did 65!!! πŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺ🏼

Not bad for a two day difference!! 😍

 
 
 
8.26.16. - Day 12

Max Out Time: 8:34
 
Day 12 - Fight Night Fight Round 1✔️
Holy S.O.R.E. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I don't know what was up with me today but man I was TIRED, SORE, and EXTRA HOT.

 I had to pause a few times because I noticed I started to lose form but I hurried up and corrected it and jumped right back in!

AND I'm really disappointed that
#Instasize doesn't allow you to edit videos anymore. πŸ˜‘

AND I'm even more disappointed that Facebook won't let me upload my videos anymore because of the "copyrighted music" that's in it 😑

Anyone have any good recommendations for video editing apps that I can add text to or resize for Instagram?
 
 
 
8.27.16 - Day 13

Max Out Time: N/A 
Nothing says "good morning" quite like falling down the stairs...
 
Insanity Max:30 Day 13 completed this morning!

After starting my morning out today by falling down the stairs I was so glad that today was the Pulse workout!

Wanted something a little more laid back to stretch everything back out.


I can definitely feel myself getting deeper into the stretches than I was just last week when I did this routine the first time!

It's always so amazing to me just how much our bodies can change in so little time!

I had so much fun with my family today, I'm glad everyone was able to come up and spend the day together! Wishing them all safe travels back home!

We did the Forgotten Government Laboratory scenario of the Escape Room Game today! Unfortunately we did not make it out of the room before the time ran out but we were only two steps away from doing it! We still had a lot of fun tho!

I'll be honest, I did get some ice cream today, chocolate chip cookie dough, of course - my fave! 😍
 
 
8.28.16 - Day 14

Max Out Time: N/A Because I had to modify the whole thing due to terrible back pain
 
I debated on still doing my workout all day.
I finally talked myself into it because I just could not bring myself to skip a day.

Posting these publicly and not just in my private groups has been SO extremely helpful!

Today was Day 14 of #InsanityMax30 which means it was my last day of week two! Sunday's are supposed to be rest days but since I took my rest day on Wednesday earlier this week, I had to make up that workout today.

Today's workout was Sweat Intervals + 10 Minute Abs.

I modified everything today and I made it through about 20 minutes of the workout when my back started getting really tight so I decided to call it quits.

Which mean I still have to make up for that 10 minute ab workout but, I'm not worried about it since I still have 6 weeks left of this program.

My after shot was going to be a frowny face but I thought you know what, I STILL pushed play today and tried my best when most people would not have and THAT is something I am proud of!

Hoping to feel a lot less in pain tomorrow as today was awful πŸ˜–

(Yesterday I felt okay. This morning was a different story.
If you're wondering why I haven't been active on here yet today that is why.

My butt hurt, my back hurts, my ribs hurt, and so does my stomach.
I guess I must've fallen a bit harder than I thought I did. πŸ˜‘
.
I tried eating breakfast this morning but didn't get much in because I just felt so terrible.
I tried a 30 minute hot Epsom salt bath.
Then I came out onto the couch, snuggled up to Devin, and napped for a good 4 hours.
.
 I feel like such a bum for not getting much done today but I'm just in a lot of pain right now...and tomorrow is my birthday.. πŸŽ‚
Hopefully tomorrow will be a different story πŸ˜”)

 So here's to high hopes for not only week 3 but also my birthday tomorrow! πŸŽ‰

 
I will be posting these updates at the end of each week so stay tuned for my week three update!
