After having a super busy and rough couple of years filled with ups and downs, I got to my biggest size ever last year. I’m 6’ tall so I carry my weight differently than most but I was still a big girl! It wasn’t just that I was big, I was getting to the point where I was...uncomfortable. In the summer of 2010, I decided I wanted to be in my BEST SHAPE EVER for my “milestone birthday” (let’s just leave it at that) in October 2011. I decided to make my health my priority. So, I started working out at the gym and eating better but only got so far. I saw the P90X commercials just like the rest of the world but didn’t think it was for me.

To be honest, I was SUPER reluctant to buy the program because it seemed like it was geared toward former athletes or people that just needed to lose a little weight, of which I am neither. Then I looked around the site and found some pics of people that were just as bloated and puffy as ever in their before pics and I felt right at home. So many people got such great results I decided to give it a try.

In July of 2010, I did my first round of P90X and it wore me out. I felt run over most days. I’m bigger than the average person so doing some of the moves was challenging. But I kept coming back for more. I did another round that helped me make incredible strength gains but not lose a lot more weight.

So, now, I feel like I’ve hit my stride. I have lost over 30 lbs. and I’m hoping to lose another 30 (or more) by my birthday in October 2011. So, I’m staying on the horse until then. I decided that after doing a lot of strength training, I needed some cardio to burn my body fat. I’m doing my first round of INSANITY!!! It’s a lot of work but I am enjoying the results. I’ve incorporated Shakeology and got my nutrition under control. I’m hoping for big results when this round is over.

With the help of my own coach, I decided to become a coach. I didn’t think I was “coach material” because I haven’t reached my goal yet. He told me that coaching is not about what you look like, it’s about helping others and that’s something I can definitely do. Coaching will help me stay accountable to my own fitness while helping other people get where they want to be, even if it takes longer than 90 days. If you have any questions or need any information, send me a buddy request.

Be well,
