When I first saw the infomercial for P90x, I knew I had to do it! I will go ahead and say- I am one of those weirdos that loves to work out! That being said, I had let myself get out of shape. Trying to be the best mom while working to move up in my banking position, I was stressed and exhausted all the time. I didn't feel like I even had the energy to begin!
I tried a couple of times.. would make it a week and then feel like a total failure. It wasn't because I didn't want it, I just was so exhausted. I started talking to my Beachbody Coach, Michelle Kellogg. (You can be assigned a free coach through Beachbody- one of the many things I love about this program!) She was kind and encouraging. I felt like she really listened to me... my frustrations and goals. She told me that I was trying to start too big. My health was not where it should be- I was sick all the time. Of course I didn't have the energy to get started on an intense program that is used to even train athletes! She suggested I start with something a little simpler... shakeology. This drink was packed with vitamins and nutrients and could help me with my lack of energy. I decided to give it a try. It was actually cheaper then all of the eating out I was doing!
Forward to the beginning of January. I had been on shakeology for over a month and felt like a completely different person. I was ready - P90x ready. I did injure my back from a yoga move and have to take a couple of weeks off in February. Because of this, I decided to restart my program from the beginning at the end of February.
Here I am now- day 44 and I feel so alive! I am down 12 pounds from the beginning of my journey and I feel awesome. I want to encourage you- YOU CAN DO THIS!
I started 50 pounds overweight- yes I let myself get that out of shape!
I am asthmatic. I have a history of depression and anxiety.
I don't care what your excuses are, if you want a life change, if you want to feel better then you ever have, if you want to be truly proud of yourself- let's do this. I will be your coach, your encourager, your friend. Team Beachbody's design is set up beautifully. The more connected you are online- the more likely you are to succeed. As Tony Horton so frequently says "BRING IT"!!!!!
