I am a single mom who needs her body back. Because I am a school librarian my boy and I are able to spend our summers and many holidays at the pool,camping, hiking, geocaching, etc. My energy level is poor and I just want a body that is healthy and that I can be proud of. I also want to set a good example of healthy living for my son. I love life. I just want to feel better living it.

Looking at my numbers or statistics one would think that I hadn't made much progress with P90X, but nothing could be further from the truth. I am a different person than I was when I began working out in WOWY.
My transformation began in a local salon where I watched a Turbo Jam infomercial while sitting under the hairdryer. I had always been thin, but I had never had the body that I wanted and as I aged I began to grow tired easier and my outlook on life was turning negative. My eating habits had always been poor with lots of sodas, junk food and sweets. Plus, I have a family history of diabetes (father, and both grandmothers), hypothyroidism (grandmother, mother, brother)and high cholesterol (mother), pancreatic cancer (grandfather and grandmother). With a bad diet, sporadic exercise and a family history of health issues, I knew I had to make a change for my sake and for that of my six year old son.
I had tried before to "get in shape," but was never able to stick with anything. It was so frustrating and defeating. I always got bored and gave up. Well, Chalene looked like she was actually having fun on that infomercial, so I thought I would give it a try. I was determined that this time would be different because I needed it to be. Turbo Jam was actually and surprisingly fun. I enjoyed it so much that I got three other friends to do it too.
One of the things that kept me going was WOWY. Being able to keep track of what I had done and plan out what I was going to do proved to be a key element for my success. It provided me with the accountability that I needed to keep up with my workouts. The Beachbody website also motivated me by giving me useful information on healthy eating. My son and I became addicted to the webcasts and he just had to watch an episode of Thin Kitchen everytime we were on the site.
After a few months with Turbo Jam I bought P90X. Getting bored with my workouts has not been a problem because of the variety of programs that Beachbody offers. After 90 days with Tony, I have the body I have wanted for so long. I have muscle definition where there used to be just a skinny girl. My friends and family have noticed a big difference in my body. People ask me what I do to stay in shape. My confidence level is high. I even turn a head every now and then, which makes me feel great. And best of all, my little boy can see the difference in me and has become a walking commercial for P90X. He tells all sorts of people about how his mom works out with P90X. He even gets down and does push ups with me and loves the pull up bar.
Even though I am officially finished with P90X, I will keep pushing play, try out new programs and set new fitness goals to keep myself motivated and accountable. This is really just the beginning for me...the beginning of a new lifestyle where I have high expectations for myself and can encourage others with my story. Thanks Beachbody for providing me with the tools that I need to finally feel the way I want and look the way I want.
