For just about two years I've been riding this emotional fitness roller coaster. It all started when my boyfriend and I started our first round of P90X three days after Christmas two years ago.

For just about two years I've been riding this emotional fitness roller coaster. It all started when my boyfriend and I started our first round of P90X three days after Christmas two years ago. My boyfriend, Josh, was convinced that we were working out so hard that what we ate didn't matter. Oh and we were still in the early stages of dating so we were eating out a lot! Guess what happened at the end of 91 days... Yep, you guessed it! We got stronger but didn't have any real visual results. :0( Josh thought our next logical step was Insanity. We've started Insanity a couple of times but we work a very physically demanding job 12 hours, 3 days straight a week. It is extremely tough to workout, eat and try to get enough sleep to survive the following day. Not to mention Josh is an Ectomorph body type which means he has a hard time trying to eat enough not to lose weight while doing cardio on a regular basis. BTW, that drives me Crazy! I work so hard trying to lose some body fat and his just falls off so easily. I have picked up a few other Beachbody programs over the last two years: Turbo Fire, Hip Hop Abs, Slim in 6 and Slim in 6 Express. I would say the biggest demon I am slowly conquering is my relationship with food. It's really hard trying to change the way my brain thinks about food. But with all my mistakes I have learned a few things about myself. I need a game plan! And as I type this, this is November 2012. A few days ago I wrote out my goals for 2013. I wanted to get a jumpstart on them Now! I will not spend another year on my birthday with self dread because I haven't accomplished my fitness goals such as my main goal: LOWER MY BODY FAT. For Motivation I have entered the Beachbody Challenge and posted a before pic of me in a bikini, which by the way, makes me cringe. I feel shame when I look at that pic or any of the number of before pics I've taken over the last two years. They all look the same. I should have done better for myself by now. But I am a work in progress and without failure there is no success!

I am not a Beachbody Coach, at least not yet. Maybe someday. Right now I am studying to take the nccpt personal trainer test and need to focus on that. But if you want a buddy to chat up any of the frustrations that come along with trying to get fit, send me a message.
