You don't really know the weight is piling on until one day you stop and take a really good look in the mirror. That's how it happened with me. I was so caught up in being social, eating on the run and drinking that I was headed down a very unhealthy track. Things turned around for me when I found that I really enjoyed working out in the gym and running. I was able to get healthy by working out hard. That was a life that I could maintain up until a few years ago when pregnancy changed all of that. I lost all my motivation and gained over 60 pounds. I thought after the baby was born I would be able to take the weight off easily once again. Was I wrong! Who has time for a gym when you work full time and have an infant? I decided that I would have to recommit myself to fitness and weight loss but in a different way. My new challenge was working out without a gym membership! I quickly discovered that I had to commit myself to a home work out program. Driving to work one morning, I heard about TurboFire and started to research it. That lead me to the Beachbody website where I found so many useful and motivating tools and people. I was finally excited to restart my workout journey and am happy to report that I am pleased with my results so far. I have completed Turbofire and Advanced Turbofire (with a little Chalean Extreme and P90X thrown in) followed by Insanity. I then did Les Mills Pump and more TurboFire and Insanity. I then did Insanity the Asylum. I found out in July, 2012 that I was pregnant for the second time. I was determined not to go down that same path of unhealthy living again. After getting the go ahead from my doctor, I continued to work out. During my first trimester of pregnancy I did a 5K, the Color Run and the Dirty Girl Mud Run. I also started CLX and threw in cardio from Insanity, TF, LMP and Asylum. During my second trimester of pregnancy I did a lot of TF and modified as I went along. I purchased Les Mills Combat and started that while I finished up my pregnancy. I was thankfully able to workout regularly until my 36th week of pregnancy. I gained 35 pounds with my daughter who was born March 3. 2013. With permission from my doctor, I was able to start working out again as I felt comfortable. I started slow with some low impact Combat and then jumped in and did a few weeks of Insanity. I am currently midway through Body Beast and doing other workouts when I have time. Having a toddler and an infant at home as created new challenges but I continue to strive towards my goals!

I still have a ways to go to meet my goals and I hope for continued success. I plan to pay forward what has worked for me and share my success with others and help them find the tools they need to acquire their goals!
