You know I have experienced first hand the wrath of doing 30 days of Insanity and sorta kinda watching my nutrition!  Do you know what happened?  Well, I lost only about 4 lbs and barely any inches at all and I was super bummed because I was cardio’ing myself to death and the results were not happening!  Any normal person would of thrown in the towel, threw a couple choice words at Shaun T and went back to their old ways claiming that Insanity was scam!!  But, instead I realized that it was my nutrition that was OFF!  While I was trying to make better choices, they just were not good enough!  I needed to get rid of the processed white flours, the sugars and creams, the excess of dairy and cheese.  I was just literally overdoing it!  The minute that I started to truly embrace clean eating I began to see the changes in my body happen rapidly.  I was exerting the same amount of force with my workouts but the golden ticket lies in your nutrition!!!!  I learned this the hard way, as frustrating as it was it taught me that this is the most important thing I need to share with my customers and participants in my groups.  That is always the first thing that I talk about with others!  It truly is key to your success! So if you are struggling in any way with getting the results that you want even after you are hitting the workouts as hard as you can then its time to really dive into your nutrition!

This leads me to the point of this post!  Matt and I have been waking up every morning together to do Insanity Max 30 for my coach test group.  We both have been giving it our best effort and intensity and are literally dripping sweat with each workout.  The difference between Matt’s results and my results are that I have been practicing the 80-20 rule and he has been practicing the 20-80 rule!  80% of the time my nutrition is spot on and 20% I have a vodka soda water or that slice of pie with thanksgiving dinner!  Matt has been 80% glass of wine, chips, salsa, bread with dinner, birthday cake at a party and 20% on track.  He drinks his Shakeology every morning, takes a healthy snack to work, eats whatever I cook for dinner but then the rest is up in the air. 

 Will power is not his best friend and he totally knows it!  But basically he is expending this energy TRYING to be good, and in his mind he truly feels like he is doing a good job but when you actually write it down and you compare the good to the bad, he definitely is more on the bad side than the good side.  The kicker is this, he gets up every morning and sweats his rear end off with me in the workouts and he is struggling to get the results and it basically comes down to the nutrition.
