I had already noticed changes in the way I felt and in my appearance; I had begun to feel slow and sluggish, lacked stamina and was no longer happy with the way I looked. And my diet?? Just plain awful! I was not too eager to take my shirt off in public and began to feel uneasy about the way I looked. I knew it was time for a change but I just wasn't sure what to try, I really felt lost. I have to say that I am definitely not a fan of TV infomercial’s but, after seeing Tony Horton's Beachbody/Power 90 commercial I was intrigued-it all made sense and was believable. I decided to order the P90 program and as it turns out it has been one of my best purchases ever! I struggled with the routines in the beginning but shortly after I noticed a spike in energy which was a welcome surprise. I think I really hit my groove a little over half-way through the program and saw dramatic results in the last 30 days. Sadly, I slipped back into my bad habits after finishing Power90 but, after beginning to feel lousy again and afraid that I would soon loose all the benefits I gained from Power90, I jumped right back into it. I followed up with Power Half-Hour and currently use the P90 Master Series program, sprinkled in with a generous helping of Slim in 6, to enhance my workouts. I have to say that I feel better now at 47 years old then I did when I was in my 20's! I went from a waist-size of 33-34 down to a 29. While I didn't chart my body-fat in the beginning I can tell you that I have lost far more body-fat than I ever thought I would or could. I feel stronger and more in control of my life; my stamina and self-esteem have never been higher and it is so flattering when people take notice. I rarely get sick anymore and many of those annoying aches and pains I had prior to exercising with Power90/Slim in 6 are gone. I sleep better and wake up easier and energized. My quality of life has improved 10-fold and I have never been happier with myself as I am right now. I could never dream that I would see results so quickly, I was able to shed fat while building muscle at the same time. Thank you Beachbody, Tony Horton, Debbie Siebers and the rest of the BB family for the routines, motivation and website tools~you've provided me with everything I need to succeed! I know that I would not have been able to get these results without your help; this truly has been a life changing experience.

Friday, October 19, 2007 was Black Friday for me; I had major shoulder surgery. I had begun to encounter serious problems with my left-shoulder approximately 2 years prior and my journey leading me to surgery was full of "ups & downs!" I had tried to modify my workouts and be as creative as possible and had some success early but, as I encountered more setbacks and had to shut-down more frequently. To try and avoid surgery I endured 2 rounds of Physical Therapy along with injections to the shoulder and in the A/C joint itself. After exhausting all avenues I decided to have the surgery.

My surgery consisted of 2 separate procedures; an arthroscopic procedure to resolve my impingement/bursitis that involved the removal of my bursa-sac, the cleaning out of a large amount of scar-tissue and frayed tendons and a bone-scrub (shaving of bone) to create more space for my rotator-cuff tendons. The second procedure involved an open incision for the removal of my AC Joint. Yikes!

The surgery was a complete success! My surgeon and therapists were very pleased at my post-op recovery and said that I bounced back so much quicker than most because of my prior-training~another reason to thank Beachbody!

My next goal?? Power 90X!
