ONE WEEK LEFT!!!

I know, I know, I totally slacked on blogging the past two weeks! Life got a little crazy, and those MAX workouts don't leave you with much extra energy! As of today, I officially have one week left. I am so incredibly proud of myself. I pushed myself to a level I never thought I could get to before, and I realized just how much my body is capable of! And the results are awesome. My body fat so far has gone from 23% to 17%, and pretty much toned up everywhere. After this last week I'm going to take a Recovery Week (Core Cardio & Balance) every day, maybe with some Cardio Abs thrown in, and then jump right back into the MAX workouts and do it all over. Now that I know how good this program works I can't wait to see what it will do to me after Round II : ). I will be posting my final results & pictures next week, but here is one from today.Breakfast: Think Thin Protein Bar
Snacks: Flax Crackers, Almonds
Lunch: Shakeology w/banana
Dinner: Clam Chowder (homemade w/light soy milk, not heavy cream!!)
After Workout: Casein Protein Shake

Here are some various tips I've acquired since the last time I wrote.

If possible, don't work out when you're in a hurry. I did this once...never again. It just stresses you out, and takes your energy away from the exercise. Plus, I tried fast forwarding through the breaks to save time, and ended up almost not being able to finish. INSANITY takes just as much mental strength as it does physical strength...and if your mind isn't in the right place, you're making things harder than they should be.

Wait AT LEAST three hours after a meal before working out. If you need something in your stomach right before, grab a handful of almonds or a banana.

The object of each exercise is not to get to a point where it's easy. You should constantly be pushing yourself and digging deeper!
