Week 6: Insanity Max 30 Progress

Alright, Alright, Alright (Matthew Mcconaughey voice) I made it through week 6 of Insanity Max 30...barely! This week was totally by far and away my worst week of max 30. Month 2 is so much different than month 1 and it really goes to show you that the mental aspect of it is a huge part. More times than not, I wanted to quit, I wanted to give up. I wanted to throw the towel in and stop. This week really showed me that I NEVER WILL GIVE UP, NO MATTER WHAT. 

Mondays, workout set me up for a tough week! I struggled through the entire workout and I mentally gave up on myself halfway through. If you have ever given up on yourself mentally, you know its the hardest thing to overcome and finish out a workout. At the end, I was fighting back tears. I was so frustrated and so disappointed in myself. I maxed out 30 seconds before I had last week and then proceeded to crumb and fall apart through the rest of the workout. It really set my spirit and my thought process through the ringer. 

Tuesday, I woke up and my heart was heavy. I knew I had to snap out of it! I had to dig seriously deep, refocus, regroup and gain some confidence to do my best and be better than I had been the day before! I had a great workout! I felt like I overcame a huge obstacle. I didn't care about the time that I maxed out which was better than it was the previous week, all I cared about was being better than I was the day before. It is crazy how your mind can play tricks on you and you can completely blow something that's good any by that I mean, I thought after week 5, I was doing great! Well to my surprise Monday morning had come and I fell apart. But you know what, I never gave up, and I never will give up.

The rest of the week, wasn't my best but I still pushed hard. Come friday though, I struggled again. and when I say struggled, I mean I maxed out one minute before the time I did last week and I felt like the wheels were spinning out of control! I finished the workout and I have to say, that Shaun T really knows how to kick my butt. Friday Fight Round 2 might just be the hardest workout I have ever done. When you think it cannot get any harder, it does. The combinations of workout moves are killer. So even thou I didn't have the best workout, I finished strong and I know that next week, I will do better! 

Saturday and Sunday were rest days kinda. Saturday was my 25th birthday I spent the day relaxing and just doing what I wanted. I ended up taking a "rest day" but ended up walking 3 miles down to the restaurant that I was meeting my family at for some birthday celebrations. So even though I didn't get my workout of max 30 pulse in, I ended up having an amazing walk. Saturday night I splurged and celebrated. I feel completely guilt free about having an amazing dinner, drinks, and a delicious desert! Everything in MODERATION!

Take a peak into my meal plan from this week! 

My goals for week 7:

1. Make this week better than last week
2. Positive affirmations daily
3. Drink 150oz of water each day
4. Follow meal plan and really dial in nutrition.
5. NEVER GIVE UP

Hope you all have an amazing week filled with happiness and healthiness!
