Day 44 of Insanity! My rambled thoughts .....

So Im back in it on Day 44 of Insanity and HONESTLY it feels REALLY GOOD!!!!! Ive dropped the ball on staying fit after i came back from vacation from Belize back in June. I kicked my self in the butt EVERYday since 44 days ago telling myself why i couldnt jump back in the game of health & fitness! I had some good excuses too!!! lol I wanted to enjoy my vacation with my wife the best we could, beside my knees hurting, Shaun t mentioned take a month off if your knees hurt!! I did do 2 rounds back to back!! I started a 3rd but the closer i got to the vacation time, it's like my body shut off! LOL... We worked hard for it and we needed time to relax! Second, it was our moment to bring our son home to Los Angeles to live with us for good! He's 6 years old and he was waiting for this moment for over 100 years he says!!! lol. When we got back boooyyy i made more excuses to why i coudnt do Insanity, find time, etc ... Then, I believed that my family and new role around the house would take up EVERY singe mintue of me!! Although i came to believe that, 44 days ago i realize that was wrong for me to think and that i control all that i do in my day!! THERE WAS NO EXCUSES!!!!! I remember how hard i really wanted to get in a workout but just made excuses! I remember getting p90x and saying ill try something new! I remember buying Turbofire, hoping that would spark a whole new interest!!! But I still kept giving myself reason not too!!! I just got in what i could, Time went by, off and on im mixing through different programs trying to get my body in motion! What i did realize is that like most, I started to accept what and how things became in my environment!! I told myself like everyone else i will do it, i'll get to it, but did i?? Days and weeks went by as it turned into months!! We know what we want deep inside, but do we really take control and create actions?? and when we do begin the actions, do we follow it through to the end? or do we settle back in to our old way of acceptance and say we tried and it'd didnt work out! Did it not work out becuase we chose that?? For me I blame myself and no one around me!! I cant, it isnt fare to do so becuase at the end of each day only you know how you feel deep inside twoards what you accomplished that day!! We feel good when we feel accomplished!! And Insanity was that for me!!! Losing 25 pounds made me feel good!!! Confident, ready to take on more and do more!!!

So 44 days ago i decided to CONSISTENTLY take control of my fitness again!! NO EXCUSES, My day is scheduled around my workout and not just to say i will get it in!!! My wife and son are in it now who are inspiring others!!Thats the reward! Helping others see that it's possible for them too! Im proud of them because they are taking control of there health and fitness too!! 10 to 20 mins a day will get you on the path to a healthier and fulfilling life!! What are we really waiting for? if you want it, own it!!!

Coach Shaun

STRUGGLING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since i started Round 3 of Insanity, i found my self REAAALLLYYY struggling!! Im a morning person when it comes to working out!! It is said that your body when working out in the morning use your stored fat as fuel!!! I noticed my knees were starting to hurt, my legs were stiff, working out became tough! I realize that my body was getting tired and needed a change! But i didnt want to stop Insanity!!! As i struggled with week one, i decided that week one i would change it up!!! This round im adding in the Upper Body weight training DVD every other day! What i did fine that worked was instead of doing it in the morning, my body responded and push like it use to doing it at night!!! It WOWED me! I was really pushing and not feeling uncomfortable like week one of this round!!! Tonight i did PURE CARDIO!!! I NEEDED THIS!!! IT REALLY REENERGIZED MY BELIEF AND SPIRT FOR INSANITY!!!!! I PUSHED through this like it was my FORST round! I FELT GOOD AND FEEL IN LOVE WITH INSANITY ALLLL OVER AGAIN!! i reaaallyyyyy needed this! I was thinking maybe Insanity i had to put on pause! BUT I DONT!!! If your body is starting to feel like it can not take it, SWITCH IT UP!!!! SWITCH UP TIMES AND SOME WORKOUTS!! IT WILL HELP YOU RELIVE YOUR DAY 1!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!! Remember this is a LIFESTYLE!!!! your body will need breaks and something NEW! LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!!!! IT WILL GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT!!!!
