I was NOT feeling it today so I'm really thankful for my 2 day rule. I forced myself to power through a late workout & I'm feeling so much better!

And, there's something to be said about the free AC of PA in the winter. I didn't max till 20:23!! #BOOM :)

Insanity Max 30 week 4!

Week 4/Day 1 = cardio challenge! #puertoricanedition #longwindededition

#iMaxedOut at 22:23! I somehow managed to better my time! There's no AC in the main area of our condo & it was 80 degrees out when we woke up (ZERO complaints, I'm loving it!), my ankles were sweating by minute 3 & I was doing football runs through the bedrooms because they have AC. The little fellas were cracking up. :)

But, I knew this was my final week of month 1 so I pushed myself hard! I love that about this program!!! Anything else I could have faked my way through just to get it done. This one really makes me work. Not gonna lie though, after I maxed, I was DONE!! I finished but without a whole lot of oomph. But, I finished! :)

Selfie on the balcony = tough in the sun! Yeah, I went there. ;) LOL

So, I also wanted to add that traveling with these DVDs is a little bit stressful for me. I worry about them getting lost, getting scratched, getting broken! (customer service rocks so it's not a problem getting them replaced but I don't want to be without for any length of time!) I'm SO excited that this is likely the last big trip we'll take that I have to worry about packing them because we'll be setup with live stream by then! Yeah baby!! That's HUGE!!! Wifi is all I'll need to get my workouts done, ANYWHERE in the world!!! #hulududemadeithappen #livestream #progress #changinglives #insanitymax30 #blogstyleonIG #momlife #travelingfool

We were delayed again due to the weather. The boys love the pool & ocean here but the hotel is obviously setup for adults only. If we get stuck again, we will NOT stay here again & I work never recommend this place.

I am however trying to live by these words & not let tonight's incident destroy my mind.

Insanity Max 30 Week 5 Day 2 = since today was going to be a rest day but we ended up not traveling, I decided to hit the fitness room. Treadmill & weights! Followed by renting a pedal boat & swimming with the boys. I'm tired. lol
