TOTALLY BACK!
February 25, 2010 12:36 PM

BACK!! I was completely released from the doctor's last week! I am so happy! This journey was painful. It was a lot of physical therapy. I was crying a lot. There were ups and downs, but I have to say that I am the better for it. I was afraid I would gain a ton of weight after the car accident. Everyone I know who was really hurt in an automobile accident became terribly out of shape because of depression and lack of exercise. I drank Shakeology for the healthy ingredients RELIGIOUSLY! Seriously! Twice a day!! When my doc said I could go back to my exercise program LIGHTLY (how I did P90X lightly is too much to explain here) in a fraction of the time that they originally projected my recovery, I was delighted. I admit. I was disappointed that I could not try Insanity yet, but NOW I CAN! Next blog! MY INSANITY JOURNEY!!

Coming back with a VENGENCE!

Ok, I am taking Shakeology twice a day, and I think it is working wonders with my injuries! I studied this health/nutrition/meal supplement for several months and this is what I wrote about it. http://www.healthitude.com/Shakeology.html

Getting back in shape after a motor-vehicle accident
October 21, 2009 2:04 PM

 

Trying...

I am an avid P90X/Tony Horton fan! I am 44 years old now and am proud to admit it! Most people have guessed I was over ten years younger. (Doing happy dance :) I have lost a huge amount of weight since beginning the Beachbody programs, and decided that since it seemed I was inspiring a few of the people around me to get fit, I should become a coach and help EVERYONE GET FIT! It is INCREDIBLE! I REALLY LOVE doing this! 

My husband and daughter are P90X grads, and many of my close personal friends are also doing P90X. All of the people I coach are close personal friends as well. Some do P90, some P90X, some do Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, Hip hop abs, and Kathy Smith's Project YOU: Type 2 Diabetes. 

I was going along fine, working out to P90X by morning, doing circus arts classes, sword fighting, aerial arts classes, Girl Scouts, Directing a Ballroom Dance Team, and a variety of other activities I LOVE! Then, out of nowhere it all came to a screeching halt! LITERALLY! A car ran a stop sign and smashed into our car.

That evening began a series of painful sleepless nights that would continue till.... well is still continuing.

I have a herniated disk in my neck, pinching a nerve and and torn neck/back muscle. 

Just found out I may not need surgery unless it does not get better. However, I can no longer X it up with Tony, nor can I do any of my normal (well I think they are normal) activities. 

Now, a month later, I am attempting to get back into my pre- accident shape without hurting myself. I have not gained any weight, instead I lost some. I am sure it is muscle. SERIOUS BUMMER!!

I picked up Total Boday Solution, though, and it is helping me feel better. 

Will update more as this progresses.

After a month - post car accident recovery and working out

OK! I AM A FREAKIN' P90XER!! I WORKOUT LIKE CRAZY! I HAVE GUNS! DARN IT! WHY CAN'T I JUST DO PUSH UPS!! 

So, I did. I can pump out 20, but they suck. I can't get my nose to the floor, and I can't hold them. I remember the first time I did P90X Chest and Back. I could not move my arms afterward! Turning the wheel presented a problem! I was going to quit then and there! And when Ab Ripper I first tried, I was unable to get through the majority of the moves!

Long and short, I came a long way, baby! And I do NOT want to go back! As soon as my doc says I can start P90X again, I will. And I better get my groove back, or there will be hell to pay!

A silly, emotional day

This week I started the week right by doing a small amount of working out. Today I posted a video of P90X to my FB page. As I was listening to Tony talk, I started to cry! I did not realize how much I miss working out with this program! I am so afraid that I won't be able to keep up with my former self and will be very depressed. Trying to keep spirits up when recovering from a car accident is not easy. I guess I did not realize how much of my identity was in my increased strength and abilities from P90X. I know I have to take it slow, but it is very hard to see the hard earned muscle go away. I have lost several pounds, and I know it is muscle. Tony Horton, I miss you so much!!
