Tustin Ranch, CA After 5 good months of success with Beachbody Si6 and P90, I suffered a knee injury that has slowed me down and made it difficult to commit to the same routines. The rehab had been slow, painful and disheartening. Nevertheless, I had committed to exercise every day and I worked this into my rehab routine. I am not as strong as I was and my stamina has been greatly reduced. This had crushed me After 5 good months of success with Beachbody Si6 and P90, I suffered a knee injury that has slowed me down and made it difficult to commit to the same routines. The rehab had been slow, painful and disheartening. Nevertheless, I had committed to exercise every day and I worked this into my rehab routine. I am not as strong as I was and my stamina has been greatly reduced. This had crushed me emoitionally but I am not defeated. I gained back 10 of the 18 inches I lost off. I stuck with it starting again in February. By end of June I was back and lost those 18 inches and 7 more.
I have re-committed myself to healing my knee , my mind and my body image. The diet is key and I will be measuring more closely. I will be stronger than before and want to graduate to P90X before year end.
I am 39 years old and happily married to the most wonderful man. He has been my loving supporter through all my crazy ideas about health and well-being. I am 5’ 7” started a size 12 (now size 6/8). I know about proper nutrition. This was not the issue. I am in love with food and there is nothing more enjoyable than a fine dinner with a great cocktail or glass of wine shared among good friends. Being Italian the love of food and dining is in my soul.
I was a very heavy youth, teen and young adult. I know the pain of being overweight, teased and low self esteem. One day a woke and said, "this is it!". I embarked on several programs, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers. After 12 months I lost 78 lbs. I kept those pounds off for the last 15 years until recently. Getting into my later thirties proved to be weight management challenge. My hypoglycemia became uncontrollable and began to ruin my life. I had to think about snacks and when and where I would be able to eat again. This was beyond stressful and my poor husband dealt with it so well. I suffered from excruciating migraines most of my life. It became a way of life to live with this pain. Between horrible blood sugar swings headaches, insomnia, and poor digestion, I knew there was something more than what the doctor said. “We all age. It is part of getting older”. I did not believe this. I consulted a bio-chemist nutritionist and began eating a diet geared for my blood type. I am an A negative blood type. I eliminated the foods that were not good for me physically and all unnatural medicines pharmaceuticals. Within 6 weeks I no longer had hypoglycemia, slept through the night and eliminated headaches and migraines all together. In addition, I lost 13 lbs. What a new chapter in my life and renewed energy!
The past year was work frenzy for me. I worked 12 -14 hour days often 7 days a week. Exercise became a nice idea rather than a must. The stress took its toll and I gained weight, lost muscle, and landed hooked to an EKG machine. I fell apart over the stress. I am happy I began with SI6 because it is a healthy sound program. No gimmicks. There is only one way to do this, eat right, exercise, and balance your life. What an excellent support group! I know I will continue to succeed! I am now on to other series like P90, PHH, and hopefully P90X soon and I find my ability to get through a tape amazing. I could not say this last year.

I am so excited result BB has provided me. After all my failed attempts to lose weight and gain muscle BB worked. My body has truly changed and my mind has as well. I no longer hate exercise. I know it is part of my daily life and I schedule it in like everything else. I even dread NOT exercising now. Skipping a day or more is hell to me. It is a refreshing new way of life. I am commited and motivated and equipped with the tools and mindset I need to succeed.!
This new perspective has given me the incentive to expand my consulting business to now promote air and water purification and nutritional wellness products. I am now focusing on indoor environmental health and performance nutrition. I am very excited of my website www.ecoquestintl.com/airwaterlife and the effective results I have seen for my friends and family who have had health issues such as allergies, asthma, and other immunity problems. The new endeavors provide a balanced perspective to the high paced stress laden work environment and compliment what I already enjoy - the wellness and health business. It all makes sense now and is working out nicely. I am researching new products and technology that I would not have considered before. A new door of opportunity has opened though my own progress and success.
I am taking the ISSA certified fitness trainer exam shortly. That will compliment my already growing knowledge of fitness and wellness and I am pursuing my studies to become a holistic nutritionist and complete my passion to become a ND (Naturopathic Doctor). I am enjoying furthering my education and incorporating the latest in healthful living. Sharing what I learn with friends so they too can feel and look better naturally is very rewarding.
My goal – To help one person gain self esteem, lose weight, eat better, change an unhealthy environment and balance well-being, by sharing my own personal experience. Strive to learn and challenge the norm.
