I am 39 years old and a mother of 2. My job is teaching art and my passion is architecture.

I was always smaller than everyone else in my classes in school. I am 5 feet tall. I was always thin also, until I got to sophomore year in college. I moved back home that year and my mom said I was too thin. She started cooking all that great New Orleans food and I started gaining weight.

I was still not really big, though until I had my first child. the doctor told me I could eat anything I wanted. Well, that's exactly what I did. I gained 42 lbs. with her and she wasn't much of that.

Then, not long after I had my first child, I got pregnant with number 2. I was so glad to have them so close. They would be close to each other. I didn't gain as much with number 2, but I hadn't really given my body a break. After having the baby, I went back to eating that good New Orleans cooking and gaining weight.

I have since moved to Texas and started eating much healthier. I still had a big mid-section so I was looking for a way to drop all the extra weight.

I started my journey with Beachbody a few years ago when my mom bought Slim in 6 for me. I was doing great until I started school. I let it go for a long time.

Then, my husband told me about P90X. I looked at it online and protested. "There is no way I can do P90X without starting with P90 first," I said. So, I bought P90 and got started. Since it was not P90X, my husband wouldn't work out with me. I went it alone and was really seeing some results. I trip to New Orleans last summer completely brought me to ground zero.

Watching some late night TV, we saw an infomercial for P90X. I don't know why I thought I could handle the workouts at this time, but I got so excited and call to order the program. I was not consistent with the work outs as long as my hubby was supposed to be working out with me.

Then, at the beginning of August 2009, I realized that I really have more fun when I am working out. I also realized that I am hiding in this body of 154 lbs. I am ready to live what I call my dream life. when I cannot work out, I get disappointed and cranky. I am sticking to P90X right now. I am in the middle of week 4. I'll see how I'm measuring up on Monday.
