Moving On

After reading my previous post, I am glad to say that I just kept right on doing what I said I was going to do. It is becoming less of a rare thing for me: doing what I say I am going to do.

I received my Advocare Package after it was sent to my old apartment complex. I almost lost my shit (heh, literally as well) when I found out that my $200 and some odd dollar package was signed for and delivered. Fortunately, one of my friends from there had my back and she made she I got it back.

Phew.

I was reunited with Muscle Fuel and Muscle Recovery and I put them to work, fast. Mike wasted no time whipping my ass into shape and although I've gotten weaker with the weight lifting, the strength I've added due to my religious following of Insanity has made the exchange invaluable. I thought I was improving a month ago...

My teammates and friends have seen a huge change, I've felt it and I am either the Dodgeball player I used to be, or wasn't as good as I thought I was and just simply got better.

I am on Week 8 of Insanity's 9 week program, I cannot thank myself enough for having the tenacity, discipline and drive to see it through this far. I have had some friends of mine attempt it and quickly give up and or fall behind. The ridicule I received from sticking with the program (and constantly talking/bitching about out on Facebook) not only motivated me to continue onward, but is most likely having people eating their own words and doubts, or better yet, having them wanting to give it all a shot.

I attempted the Herbal Cleanse and just didn't have the discipline to see the program through all of the way. I drank heavily one night and messed up the cycle. Not to mention, the horse pills that are given to you are not only impossible for me to swallow, but disgusting to chew. Suffice to say, I wasted it. I may try again in two months. We shall see. The Nighttime Recovery is sharing a similar fate. I cannot handle horsepills...

Tomorrow is one of the last two weeks of Phoenix Dodgeball. I hope that I will "black out" again. Lately I've been unleashing sprees in which I will single handedly take out half a team or more in a mere few seconds. I totally lose my mind and let my body take over and I love every millisecond of it because when I "come to" people are cheering and my team just gets another epic win. This feeling of being so "in the zone" is why I love Dodgeball so much.

I think these spurts have become possible with the fact that Insanity has increased my stamina ten fold, it has provided my muscles with what is needed to move tirelessly the way an effective Dodgeball player must and the advocare products for supplying the fuel.

I am a completely different person and am only getting better.

Thank you Advocare.
Thank you Sean T and Insanity
Thank you people out there that just make me want to better myself and step up to your level.
