I'm now a fit 41 year old, who is loving life pain free!
I started exersizing about 10+ years ago when my sister & brother-in-law introduced my husband and me to health and fitness with Body for Life. It helped me learn about healthy eating & how important exercise is.
Last year (2010) before hearing about Beachbody, I was having a lot of pain in my lower back. After testing and X-rays, it was discovered that I had some serious lower back issues. I had developed Spina Bifida Occulta or Vertibral Fusion Defect which simply means that my spinal column is not fused properly AND I have Spondylolisthesis, which is a condition in which my vertebra in the lower part of my spine has slipped out of the proper position & onto and in front of the bone below it. After some much needed physical therapy, I started feeling better, but I would never heal from these conditons. Well that did it! I didn't want to do P.T. for the rest of my life and if I wanted to feel better every day I needed to strengthen my core so my AB and back muscles would be strong enough to support & overcome my back issues. I had seen the P90X commercials on TV forever and had always wanted to try it, but never really had the guts. Not anymore! I wasn't going to let anything stop me. I did not want to give up being the very independent person I am. I didn't want to ask other people if they could help me lift this or that, or not be able to hike, backback or mountain climb with my family. So I ordered it and started the program on August 28th 2010. I didn't have huge weight loss goals like so many others, but I really didn't have a lot of weight to lose. I did however lose inches and gained a ton of muscle. And ever since then, my back doesn't hurt when I wake up and I don't have to to P.T., Beachbody workouts are my new P.T. and I love it!
One of the hardest things for me tends to be my eating. Portion control has been somewhat of an issue. Since I started P90X in September, I have noticed a huge difference in the way I eat. I loved the portion plan, it was very easy to follow, since I was already eating the foods recommended, just too much of it. After I finished my first round, I didn't quite lose all the weight I wanted, but it didn't keep me from pushing play every day. The next programs I started were a Turbofire/Brazil Butt Lift hybrid. After that, I skipped over Insanity and dove right into They Asylum. What a butt kicker that is! But so great. It helped me get down to where I wanted to be and be in the best shape possible before I had to go into surgery! Yep, that's right. After all that hard work, I had a small cancer scare and it was decided that the best course of action was to have a hysterectomy. Now back on track after a few weeks off, I have found that "exercise addiction" factor. I love working out in the morning. It has become my "cup of coffee" for the day. I love how I feel afterwards and the fact that I feel so much stronger and no longer have any pain.
I Believe in what Beachbody stands for, "Helping others become healthy and fit, physically and finantially and "Ending the Trend" of Obesity". It was only natural that I join this company in their crusade and become a coach who can pass this on to others. My wish for all of you, is to feel as good as I do and be happy with yourself. It's never too late. Decide, committ, succeed!
