Team Beachbody Guest

Hello all :
Welcome to my story. I have wanted to help people for years and maybe that is why I chose to be a therapist as a profession. But personally, I have not always done what I could to emulate what I preach. It wasn't until I found the P90x program that I felt I was actually walking the walk and talking the talk. For years off and on I have struggled with weight issues, high, low, up, down, all around, it made me dizzy. A few years ago I discovered Power 90 on the television set and immediately bought it.
I completed the whole first round and then almost immediately thereafter became sick. After many tests, biopsys and scans and more tests the doctors agreed that I had to have surgery. The test results were inconclusive for cancer. I decided to have the surgery, and it soon indicated, while I was on the table, that I had cancer. Nothing like waking up to that news!! Immediately I started treatment and was sick for at least nine months thereafter. I wasn't only sick, I was exhausted, had no appetite and soon lost about 25 pounds and my weight plummeted to 103 pounds. I struggled along time with wanting to eat at all, as every bite of food tasted like metal to me due to the treatments. It was horrible. Right before the surgery my 14 old australian sheperd was diagnosed with something called Cushings Disease and we were going to have to put her on Chemotherapy. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. After a year later after my surgery we lost Nikki and it quickly looked like I really didn't know what to do with my life. For the next few years I traveled aimlessly, depressed about my dog's death, and convinced the cancer could back in me at any time, if it hadn't already. I was more or less "done" with trying at this game of life. In the meantime, my husband, became tired of me being sick and tired, and started letting himself go.
I was in a job trapped, doing more work than I could for a psycho boss and even worse organization but felt really like there were no more options. As a result of a major reorganization, the health care system I worked for quickly displaced several management positions of which I was one. I did health care sales for awhile making lots of money, but found I was miserable, then found a job that paid okay but was kind of ho hum doing clinical reviews for a local managed health care entity.
I took a job part time with a new hospital in town, and it quickly turned into a full time gig.
Around February of 2007 my husband and I decided we were tired of being sick and tired and ordered P90X. We were scared and nervous to say the least to start and succeed in such an advanced program. Needless to say, we did start in March 2007. Each and every week that came and went, we would document our steps, and our achievements just like we were told. Individually we challenged ourselves each time to up the anty, "do one more pushup, do one more situp, try your legs crossed instead of out straight, bring up the weights on the strip sets, try one time on the chatarunga,,," we didn't always do it, but we always tried, and pretty soon we just started soaring. We still do that, but we also challenge ourselves, by cheering each other on, or catching each other not giving our all and calling each other out. Beach body products have changed our lives and our relationships. We are now into our daily routine for almost a year, and are in our first round of the X plus routines. We are in the best health of our lives, and I no longer feel like I am walking through mud. I have the most incredible confidence of my life and I owe it to Million Dollar Body.
