In my younger years I was very active, played all kinds of sports and went to college on a full ride basketball scholarship. In our first game in the last 6 seconds of the game I injured my right knee. After 3 knee surgeries and told that if I was to play ball again I would be taken a huge risk in re-injuring my knee and possible would have to have my knee fused if I did injury it again, so I did not play ball again on my doctors advice. That literally crushed my spirit, to take away the one thing that I truly loved to do, it took me some time to bounce back from that but I did. I ended up having 3 knee surgeries, and a year and a half of physical therapy to first strengthen my leg and then to learn how to walk and run again and eventually got my knee back on track and recovered from the surgeries. Being in a cast of some type for over 6 months is no picnic.
After I finally got my leg strong enough I decided to apply to become a corrections officer. I made it through the boot camp with flying colors! About 3 years into the job I hurt my shoulder, which I then ended up having two shoulder surgeries and more physical therapy. That was about 14 years ago. The injury has left me having to deal with chronic pain in my neck, shoulders and back. Since that injury it’s been pretty rough, I went from being very active to basically non-active due to my injuries. Once weighing about 120 lbs and being all muscle to now weighing over 160 lbs very little of that being muscle. Between the knee injury and shoulder, neck and back injury I found myself being very depressed and only a shell of the person I really am.
I also found out about a year ago that I’m close to being diabetic, so each day I have to check my sugar levels twice a day, luckily at this point I do not have to take any medication.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched the P90x commercials, I know it’s a lot and then I finally made the decision that enough is enough and it’s time to take back control of my life rather than the pain controlling me. I’m tired of taking pain medication and the thought of adding another medication for diabetes just isn’t for me and that’s where Team BeachBody, P90x and becoming a COACH comes into play. My goal is to lose weight, get control of the pain by other methods than just pain medication, avoid having to take medication for diabetes, get as active as I can and help as many others as I can meet their weight lose and health goals and start living again!
Finding Team BeachBody is just what I needed to help me get back my life. I so look forward to the transformation journey and ALL the great benefits that will come from joining Team BeachBody, better health, helping others and earning a great income!
Lets all unite to get fit!
