I have a very active lifestyle. My 3 crazy dogs( Lucky, Willow, and Jules),and 3 cats (Monkey, Dexter and JC), and husband (Matt), along with work and working out 6 days a week keep me quite the busy lady.
So, a little about me, and why I chose BeachBody: I just came to that point in my life where I was sick of hearing that same broken record playing in my head. Sick of never being good enough, measuring up, in my own eyes. Sick of just not accepting myself, loving myself, and doing something positive about it.
I have been battling myself for as long as I can remember. I think it all started when I hit puberty? And everything started changing?...haha. I have always been athletic, growing up I did just about every sport. Was jumping off the walls, was a tomboy. Did gymnastics, you get the picture. Well, as I got older, I tried to stay on the fit side of life. But, things fall to the way side, it happens. Life takes hold and you forget to give yourself that time, that's for you. That makes you sane.
I've done a lot of stupid things in the past to lose weight and get "fit". I was young and dumb. It wasn't till just within this past year that I woke up from my "stupid coma". And I awoke with some sense in my head. And I realized, you know there are a lot of things I cannot control in my life. But, one thing I can control? Is how I take care of myself. What I put into my body ,how I take care of it, and the quality of my life. I took hold! I just wanted to be the best me I could be. Not Jane Shmane that I saw on every magazine cover, that I would never be.( Hello photoshop!)But,the absolute best version of myself. And I wanted to have no excuses for not loving myself and being happy with myself. And for once this whole getting fit thing was coming from such a different mind frame, a healthy one. That for the last 10 months, at least, I have been excercising religiously. I did something about it :)
I didn't just wish for that body, I am working for it! And I am working hard! But, it is so worth it. I have never looked or felt better. And I'm proud. I am proud of myself. And I am loving myself. FINALLY!!!!
I have lost 30 plus pounds in these last 10 months. I had been doing a bootcamp that I loved and still do 6 days a week. So,I hit this point where I needed a change...And that's when I decided I wanted to get really serious about it. So, I started P90X. I know CRAZINESS! LOL.
I want to take my body to that next level. Cinch in those last few inches, build that defined lean muscle, have that fit fierce bikini body, in my 30's, that girls in their 20's would be envious of. And I want to be the fiercest version of myself possible. And that's why I am doing all I can to achieve this. No excuses! If I have given it all my efforts? Well, what more can I ask of myself? No excuses!
I am currently in round two of P90X, after having finished it. Woo Hoo! And I am still really loving it. And yes! round Two. Because I'm not done yet. It's pretty hard core. And there are days that are rough, but I just show up, and I just keep pressing play.
Well, that's a bit about me and why I'm a memeber of Team BeachBody. Because, I want no excuses as to why I am not the happiest, healthiest, fitest, sexiest, fiercest, version of myself possible.
So, I am showing up, and doing my best...forgetting the rest! :)
