I’ve talked to both K and my husband about this at length and both of them have just said that I need to go and get some sort of treat.īut I just didn’t want to cheat yet. And removing those has just made me really down in the dumps. And I’ve always been a person who thrived on having little treats to look forward to throughout the week–a brownie, a hot chocolate, etc. If anything, I felt like I had less energy, was even hungrier, and had more cravings than the first week. I really was hoping that in the second week, I’d hit my stride because we really switched up our recipes and tried some new (and tasty) things. I really expected it to get better because everyone always says that after they’ve been eating clean for a few days, they have no much energy, they aren’t starving all the time, and don’t even miss the old stuff they used to eat. So let’s talk about my least favorite part of this program…THE FOOD. I think that’s because my heartrate no longer skyrockets and I am just getting in better cardio shape. Although I will note that the number of calories that I’m burning during each workout has decreased. Of course after doing Tabata Strength–which should be named “Shoulder workout from hell” or “I hope you don’t need to lift your arms later!”–this morning, I’m not so sure that I should have been excited about the switch! So, the workouts are still challenging and I still feel like I’m getting a good workout. For some reason, Shaun T only has us doe Tabata Power for the first two weeks and then we switch to “Tabata Strength” (which K will review this week).
I was definitely happy to bid farewell to the “Tabata Power” workout, and when I got up on Thursday morning, I told myself “This is the last time you EVER have to do this workout”. My max out times improved in all of my workouts, but I feel like I’m getting close to my true “max” where I won’t be able to improve anymore because it’s just so hard! But, I also thought that when I was doing the Insanity fit tests and I managed to improve on those every single time, even if it was only by one rep! So I will just have to keep at it. While the workouts were easier in an “at least I know what I’m doing now” sort of way, they were definitely not physically easier to do.
