I am a 37 year old mother of two boys running her own clothing design and retail business. Before I had children I was very active, going to the gym regularly and hiking and dancing almost everyday. I traveled a lot to sell my designs but this became hard to manage with young ones in tow. So when my second child was born I decided to open a retail store offering custom sewn wedding attire.
The result was a positive one for sales but a negative one for my body. I was getting more custom orders for bridal gowns than ever before and as a result found myself hunched over a sewing machine for several hours everyday. To make matters worse my anxiety doubled as working in the wedding business can be a high pressure event so I fueled myself with sugary carbs to keep up with it all. My store front being situated between a pizza place and a bakery made daily indulging all too easy. Fifteen pounds packed on before I knew it, my skin was breaking out in hives from stress and poor diet and I felt exhausted in the evenings when I needed to give my family energy. Something had to break, I was a stressed out chubby mess.

Transformation story

My brother told me about this beach body program he was doing. I was amazed at his progress so I decided to give it a try. I started by making sure I walked everyday and logged my walking into wowy. I also used the diet and nutrition page to keep a check on my calories - this really helped me see what I was eating and made it easier to turn down bad food. I then added Debbie Seibers slim series express to my daily walks. I'm definatley starting to see results from a healthier lifestyle. My skin conditions have cleared up and I am less irratable.
As for now I pack my lunch to work to keep away from the pizza/bagel alternative and have stepped up my walking to running. I'm trying to maintain a morning run after taking the kids to school and an evening workout after dinner.
I'm really excited about getting back on track. I have way more energy and its a focused and sustained energy so I get way more work done in less time. The videos have been great for me because I can fit them in my busy schedule and don't have to find childcare like I would if I went out to the gym. I've decided to become a coach because I want every one to feel better like I do! I was truely miserable and when I see others going in the same direction I was, being overstressed and overworked and overweight I want them to learn that exercise and healthy lifestyle can help anyone achieve a higher level of productivity and happiness.
I'm waiting for my showcase pack to arrive anyday now and will be adding new workouts. I even got the P90X for my boyfriend as a gift and tried a few of those workouts. Just doing even a few of Tony's routines made me feel so much stronger. I will keep you posted as I embark on Power 90, Turbo Jam and Yoga Booty Ballet.
