You could say my epiphany moment came on a ski slope in Breckenridge. I was so out of shape I could barely ski. Two hours into the first day and my legs were shaking and ready to give out. My friends wanted to move on to the blue slopes and I knew I couldn’t even handle another green one. Making a lame excuse I headed for the bus stop even though we had a ski in ski out condo. I was so disgusted

You could say my epiphany moment came on a ski slope in Breckenridge. I was so out of shape I could barely ski. Two hours into the first day and my legs were shaking and ready to give out. My friends wanted to move on to the blue slopes and I knew I couldn’t even handle another green one. Making a lame excuse I headed for the bus stop even though we had a ski in ski out condo. I was so disgusted with myself I knew I had to make a change.

The first decision I made was to change how and what I ate. At that point my weight had crept up to over 170 pounds and on a five foot two frame that was just awful. I made simple changes at first; no sodas, no desserts, real portions, low fat foods. I really didn’t have a set plan but the weight started to come off slowly.

My second decision was exercise. Having never done it in my life I was totally clueless in the gym but at least I was moving. All the while I watched the P90X infomercial each and every time it was on and repeatedly went to the BeachBody website to check it out. I told my husband I really wanted to do it and he bought it for me along with the pull up bar as a gift. (I think he was tired of me watching the infomercial over and over again). Now I had a plan not only for exercise but diet as well.

I know what you are thinking…P90X for someone who has barely worked out? Why not start with Power90 or some easier program and work my way up to P90X? Well, I am not afraid of a challenge and having seen the infomercial I knew the motto “Do your best and forget the rest”. I didn’t have to be perfect and doing the program in the privacy of my own home I didn’t have to feel self-conscious either. The routines are hard and will push you but you just can’t argue with the results. The first 90 days flew by and I began my next 90 days. During the third 90 days I added P90X Plus into the mix. It was then that Insanity came into the mix….it made P90X seem easy.

I continue to do a mix of P90X, Insanity, and Shakeology workouts six days a week.
In just a little over a year I will turn 50 and I truly am in the best shape of my life.

You can see the results for yourself.
