From active in my childhood and high school to depressed and overweight in college... my life did a total 180 with BEACHBODY!
Being a teenager in today's society lends itself to unnecessary stress to be the perfect girl: nice hair, nails, body, boobs, butt, and NOT overweight! I was active throughout my childhood, and my sophomore year of High School I was on my school's Kickline team which helped me in becoming more active each day - I loved being able to perform in front of others! It wasn't until my senior year of high school/freshman year of college that I started to see that 'freshman 15' start to pack on HARD! Sophomore led to even more frustration and the worst I have ever been with my weight/depression. Bad relationship, bad breakup, horrible grades, too much on my plate at school, unfocused! I went to the gym and still didn't see results, because of my NUTRITION, it was horrible, absolutely HORRIBLE! The fact that I was so unhappy, about 170 pounds, (and at a height of 4'11'' it really shows on my body), so depressed and really not doing well with anything (on top of being homesick)...
I knew I needed a change, I needed to do something else with my life.
I went to the gym religiously while student teaching and started to lose weight, regain control of my eating habits, and start to become more positive
about my body and myself. I begun going to graduate school and was really starting to see the differences in my body as I continued to eat cleaner and workout at the gym. At the beginning of February 2010, I was (ironically) at the gym and on the ellyptical when I saw an infomercial about P90X. I heard about the program from my cousin three or four years ago and he stated that it got him "ripped" and I was nervous because he stated that it was one of the hardest things he has ever done in his LIFE - had a mini heart attack! Nontheless, I was at the point where I thought I could try it out. Bought it, started it, was gasping for air after 17 minutes of one of the toughest workouts. I knew right then that THIS is the change I was seeking; this was the turning point in my fitness journey.
A year and a month later, I have done two rounds of p90x, lost at least 15 inches overall and have dropped a total of 14 lbs while gaining the lean and fit muscle I wanted to gain with p90x. Currently, I am doing Turbofire and am an Emerald Coach with Team Beachbody (After working out and hearing Tony Horton speak, I was hooked for life).
What this ONE workout, company, and support system that comes as a package with being a beachbody user, has done for my body (mentally and physically) is UNREAL. I have never been so positive about health, passionate about fitness and nutrition, and had the drive to grab life by the horns.
I plan on becoming licensed in Personal Training, Turbo Kick, and one day running a half marathon in NYC. All of these goals have stemmed from a run at the gym and taking a leap of faith with a workout program I though impossible. There is NO such thing as impossible.
Bring it, everyday, and you WILL do anything you set your mind to!
Yours truly,
