Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Hi, I'm Karla. I became involved with Beachbody because my husband said "I want to try that P90X thing." I was VERY skeptical. Although both of us were ballroom dancers prior to starting a family and very fit way back then, when we left the dance field lifestyle, we kept the eating lifestyle. As you know, when you are less active, you should not consume as many calories. Both of us gained weight. I had tried diet and starvation after my daughter was born. Gained weight. Lost weight. Gained more weight. Lost less weight. (You know the drill).

I knew this was a vicious (and deadly) cycle. I come from a family of very unhealthy people. Originally I grew up in Kansas. Fried Chicken and lots of gravy were a staple. Do vegetables actually get served raw? Not at our dinner table! In my family, I have relatives who are morbidly obese, suffering from diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. My Mother has nearly died 3 times, and has had 4 major surgeries. Half the time when a call comes from Kansas, I used to cringe, terrified of what I might learn. My Uncle died from a massive heart attack. He was only a few years older than I am now. When I look around my family, I notice the illnesses all begin with poor diet and lack of exercise, straight across the board. It hurts so badly to see them suffer. Then I decided, if I can help them I will, but I need to start with myself. AND I need to raise a healthy daughter! I NEED to stop the cycle!! Looking at myself back then, I cannot believe how overweight I actually became. I lost weight after my daughter was born, yes. However, with all the yo yo dieting, I gained a lot more back. I was on my way to losing everything, even my life, if I did not take control back. This is what I realized after my Uncle's death.

So, to make a long story longer... I mean... well anyway, we took the fit test (barely passed) and started P90X. I grumbled about needing to get up at 5 AM to work out with my husband, and fully expected him to quit after the first week. Believe me! I wanted to quit after Chest and Back! Yes, the first WORKOUT! I could barely turn the wheel of my car! My arms hurt that badly!! But, my husband did not quit, so neither did I. We stuck it through till the end. We lost the extra fat, and gained beautiful lean muscle! We were SOLD! Now we are doing the 90 days just for fun (for the 4th year). Ready for more challenges! We are working toward keeping up with Tony and Dreya, so we push harder each time we do the 90 days. I really want to do the psycho plyo push ups Tony does in Chest, shoulders and triceps, so we keep "Bringing it" with the X AND IT STILL DELIVERS!

Now, WELL over 30 pounds thinner than I was when my daughter was a grade-schooler (and around 60 lbs thinner than when she was a toddler), a lot stronger, and a whole lot happier, I feel like I really want to share this with the world. I understand a lot about health and nutrition, as my husband and I began throughoughly researching it. Our entire family eats mostly a raw food diet, following any advice we get from Mike Adams (the health ranger) and of course, Steve Edwards, and the Beachbody team. We added Shakeology to our diet, and have enhanced our workout/healing/recovery/mood/LIFE immensely! I sincerely believe the best gift you can give your kids is to be a healthy parent, and teach them how to be healthy as well!

I now have my parents on fitness routines! They were suffering from Type 2 diabetes, but are now on their way to empowering themselves and taking control of their lives with Kathy Smith's Project YOU; Type 2 Diabetes!
