Well 2 days before Christmas Steven and I finished Insanity! I can't believe we actually did it, and it was hard and there were days we didn't want to do it and just quit. But we did. We kept going. Thanks to each others motivation.
During the 9weeks that we did it I lostt 20.5lbs and have seen my body change a lot. I don't by any means have slim legs or arms but I have definitely toned up. My waist is more prevalent now and I have developed kind of an hour glass shape, which is nice. I feel healthier and like can go any workout now. I was not able to do every single move or keep up all the time with the workouts, but I did what I could and I pushed myself harder than I ever have when working out. My sweat would literally soak my clothes every night too. It was great.
Steven saw big changes too. His arms are much bigger, his chest is bigger and more toned. His belly is less flab and toned up too. I know it sounds mean, but it's not.
We both feel better and have been encouraged by our results. And I at least learned some things. Like I don't like being required to workout 6 times a week. It's a lot. And it got to be just too much at times. We skipped a couple of the recovery days which are once a week, just to get an extra day off. So with my next routine 5 days a week is the limit. I also learned that I can do so much more physically than I thought. There were exercises I'd see them do and think it was impossible for me, but I did it. It's nice yo feel so accomplished and proud of the changes I have made.
I did also learn once again that I should have taken measurements to have more than just my weight tracking the changes. Oh well. To be honest I didn't even take great before picture because I didn't think I'd actually end up finishing.
Now I am working on my 2013 goals! I am excited to see what the new year brings!
Oh and below are the before and after pictures from our Insanity challenge.
