Ever since I was really little, I can remember always begging my mom or dad for this candy, or that package of little debbies. They would give in and allow me one, but I'd have to go back and sneak in one more. As I got older, I became friends with people who loved to eat just as much as I did, so whenever we had a sleepover or went out to eat, we probably ate a whole day's worth of calories in pizza and cookies alone. By the time I was 13, I was fitting into a women's size fourteen and was 163 pounds. I have never forgotten that number. I was unhappy looking at all my peers who still fit into junior sizes and even shopped at abercrombie kids. I struggled with weight ups and downs until I hit college. By that time I had my body and eating a little more under control and was at about 132 pounds. I ate healthy in the cafeteria and was walking more around campus; while my peers were gaining the freshman 15, I lost the freshman 10! I maintained that weight with running and occasionally lifting weights, but at 5'3" I felt like a blob because I had no muscle tone, even if I was a size 4/6. I saw P90X on tv and decided to check it out. I didn't feel that I could accomplish those videos, but reviews online told me about Power 90. After a lot of debate and hesitation (because no matter what in the past, I couldn't lose the fat around my waists and tone the rest of my body), I finally ordered the DVDs. At day 45, I can say that I have no regrets. I'm starting to see muscle definition, especially in my abs (where I have NEVER seen it before). I still have a ways to go because I fight everyday with old habits, such as emotional eating and not wanting to push play. At least I can say on those weeks I'm still working out 5 days and supplementing with a lot of walking now that I am living in NYC. I have been able to limit any treats to one day per week (which is hard because I used to do it 3 or 4 times per week) Who knows where the future will take me. At the end of Power 90, I'm hoping I can move on to my P90X that first inspired my journey towards health and success!
