Team Beachbody Guest

2009 is your year of change!! Read my story to see if I can help you achieve this change. I have always thought that I had a pretty typical body, not really overweight but not stick thin either. In college, I jogged to keep the pizza weight off and I continued to jog after college because I still enjoy my fair share of pizza. Then I got married and decided I wanted to cook yummy dinners for my wonderful husband. Of course my idea of great dinners consisted of lots of cheese and breads. Each night I had dinner rolls, garlic bread, or croissants, sometimes even topped with cheese. You will never guess what happened to my body…I started to see all those bread products on my hips and thighs..OH yeah and butt. Yikes, how did that happen so fast? Just one year into my marriage, and I had gained plenty of weight. I decided I better cut back on all the cheese but I also thought since I was getting older that this was just how my 29 year old married body was suppose to look. So now fast forward 2 years and I have my first beautiful baby boy and 50 pounds of baby weight attached to my body. I did try hard to lose this baby weight but I only lost about half of it. Once again chalk it up to, “that is just how my body is supposed to look after you have a baby...right??”. So life continues on and another 3 years pass and I have my next beautiful baby boy but this time I tried not to gain as much weight (doctor’s orders), so I added 35 more pounds to my 5’3” frame. I was not happy with the way my body looked, however I was now 33 years old with two kids and didn’t think my body would ever look like it did when I was 24 and a size 4. I did however think I could stand to lose a few more pounds so I joined my local gym and did aerobics 3 times a week. It was fun and I lost a few pounds but I wasn’t watching what I was eating at all. I still loved pizza and added Mexican food to my list of favorites. I think I like these two types of food because they both have lots of cheese on them. Did I mention I love cheese! After 3 days a week in the gym I still had saddle bags on my hips but doesn’t every female who has had two children? This is just the way my body should look at 33... Right? I was complaining to my husband that I didn’t like the way I looked in a bikini and if I should even wear one again. I started to think that I could look BETTER than I did. I had no definition anywhere on my body, and I wanted to look toned with some definition in my arms and abs (if possible). My husband had stopped going to the gym about six months before and had started working out at home to P90X fitness videos. He was achieving some amazing results and said I should try it too. I told him that there was no way I could do those moves that Tony (the trainer) does in the videos. I couldn’t even move my body one inch upward on the pull-up bar. But Robert, my husband, said that I don’t have to complete a pull up to do P90X, I can just “do my best and forget the rest“, or I could try another Team Beachbody workout. After much encouragement I decided to take on this 90 day challenge as a 2007 new year's resolution and started my first round of P90X on January 1st, 2007. I took my before pictures (yuck) and my measurements. I was pushing play (working out) and boy was I feeling some major burn (in a good way) during Ab Ripper X just after the bicycle exercise and that is only the second move. I knew then that this was going to be a major challenge. After my first 30 days I didn’t see the scale go down but my husband told me that since muscle weighs 4x more than fat, I may not see the scale decrease but did I see some inches on my waist and hips decrease? YES I DID. I saw some real changes after only 30 days. So I was ready to continue on for 60 more days to see what my 34 year old body could do. Well guess what ladies and gentlemen, even a body that has yo-yoed in weight and had two kids, can actually have defined abs, arms and back. I could not believe that it took only 90 days of dedication to nutrition and P90X to take my typical body to one that did look like and even BETTER then when I got married 9 years before. I actually have some definition in my arms now and ABS!! Anyone, male or female, can transform their bodies into incredible shape way beyond what they thought possible with Team Beachbody workout programs. I still can’t believe the changes from my before and after photos….ONLY 90 Days!! I now want to help you get these amazing results too.
