Insanity Max 30 - Week One Complete

So I am one week into Insanity Max 30. I've been doing my best to eat right. what does eating right mean? Well lots of protein, mostly chicken with lots of vegetables, and some rice, very few potatoes, and lots of salad. I have been drinking the Shakeology, protein drinks, and blending them up at times with peanut butter and an apple. It is pretty good. Some of the recipes that I have had are chicken kabobs on the grill. With tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, red and green pepper. That topped with rice was amazing. Little to no fat. Then I had bbq chicken, with a salad, with avocado, tomato, corn, and it was delicious. Dressing was squeezed lime, and olive oil. Today we had burgers, grilled corn, and pork n beans. I dont think that is the healthiest, but I only had one burger, no mayo, lots of veggies on it, onions, tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce. Through the whole week I've only drank the protein shake, shakeology, water adn coffee. I havent had a soda, and only two desserts all week. The reason I am typing up so much about the food part of it, because that is what most of this thing is about. 70% or more is nutrition - so we'll see. As for the workouts - one word TOUGH! I am busting my ass, and evey workout I am absolutely burn out. Of course it is only one week in, and each workout has kicked my ass. I am maxing out around 5-7 minutes, and then able to fight my way though the remainder of the workouts, doing the modified stuff when I need to. I am starting to feel strong though, and beginning to feel everything starting to tighten up. My muscle memory seems to be starting to kick in, and that is a good thing. There is this one incentive where you can win a contest through your transformation, and/ or completion of the program which I think is great. Going through the workouts though, when Sean T is pushing you and you are dying, you wish the incentive for finishing was being able to kick him in the nuts. Not literally, obviously but man he is all positive, and talking, and still breathing easily the whole time, and I am fricken struggling to even stand up, and thikning to myself, fuuuuuuccckkkkkkk. That is the way the program is designed though, and that is what I like. It is meant to drive you to your breaking point, meant to test your mental fortitude, and for you to push your body past the limits you thought were there. So, thats what I tell myself when I go to push through. Me doing three more, five more, finishing the set is my way of kicking sean t in the nuts. So I did the pulse workout today, and that was fairly easy, but probably the best thing to do after five days of that insanity shit. Really good to just stretch out the muscles, get them to burn just a bit, get your heart rate going, and then it is done. It is only 20 minutes, and it goes quick. The best part of starting the program so far, easily, is the increase in energy level. It is INTENSE! I am so shocked at how much energy I have now, and it has only been 5 days. I feel so recharged it is crazy. The mental game continues now, gotta push through for 7 more weeks. I am really curious to see if I can get the same type of results as the people on the tv commercials, or hte promo videos. It seems pretty unrealistic that you can shed that kind of weight, and shred your body, get all cut up and ripped in just 60 days. We'll see if it is bullshit, but in order to do that, I have actually got to do the work. Make no mistake either, this shit is work. HARD, SWEATY, EXHAUSTING WORK - all so very worthwhile.
