TOTALLY BACK!

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!!

Wow, your story is both heart breaking and inspiring! I am a nurse practitioner and used to work in an emergency room fast track. One of the things I absolutely hated about the job was seeing people who ended up addicted to pain killers, obese, depressed, and living off the government. Many of these people had a triggering life event like yours. It is so important to get moving again as quickly as possible, but so hard to walk the thin line of not overdoing it and causing re-injury. Sounds like you did it perfectly!!! A positive attitude takes you so much further than allowing the blues to take over. Congratulations ;-)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It was SOOOOO HARD! Wanting to do more, but unable to even lift the lightest weight was SO DISHEARTENING! I got through it with the help of my Beachbody friends, though. They seemed to understand my feelings SO WELL! My Coach is such a loving and wonderful person! I thank God every day for my blessings! Your words mean more to me than I can ever express! Thank you for taking the time to write!!!!! emoticon

Great to hear you are fully back! Your story is inspiring, and I am looking forward to my Shakeology getting here so I can get all the great nutrients too. I just finished my first Kenpo, so much fun!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I love Kenpo!!! Be sure to try all the new recipes for Shakeology. My FAVORITE is with a little natural peanut butter or PB2. SO GOOD!! I also blend very slowly in my Vitamix until it is really smooth and creamy with lots of ice and very little water (sometimes with hemp, rice or almond milk) until it is like soft serve ice cream. YUMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!
