My Photos | bizymom9 Before kids and while in the military, I worked out on a very regular basis. My workouts included at least 30 minutes of cardio, usually running, and about an hour to an hour and a half of lifting weights. I "heavy" lifted mostly free weights and worked every muscle group evenly. Exercise was always part of my life style, and started when I was young. I was a competitive all-around gymnast Before kids and while in the military, I worked out on a very regular basis. My workouts included at least 30 minutes of cardio, usually running, and about an hour to an hour and a half of lifting weights. I "heavy" lifted mostly free weights and worked every muscle group evenly. Exercise was always part of my life style, and started when I was young. I was a competitive all-around gymnast for 10 years when I was growing up and through high school. During college is when I started lifting weights. My workouts went completely downhill shortly after getting married and moving to my husbands home town where there wasn't (and still isn't) access to any decent gyms. I purchased some free weights of my own and even an elliptical machine, but it just wasn't the same. And once I had kids, I never had time, or at least that was the excuse I told myself. My workouts went downhill...worse, they became non-existent. My eating habits were horrible too. I ate anything and everything in sight; all the comfort foods that made me feel better for about 2 seconds until I immediately regretted the choice I made to stuff my face with them. I would make my kids healthy meals with fruits and vegetables and protein (and very little carbs and sugars), but I was making for myself much worse meals that I wouldn't even feed my kids. Well, I can't stand being so out of shape and overweight any longer. The time has finally come to regain my body, my health, my LIFE! I have never been more committed and determined than I am right now to succeed in my fitness and nutrition goals. My future plans include losing at least 20-25 pounds and toning my body up again. I not only want to look good, but I want to FEEL good...not just for me, but for my kids and husband as well. I want to have more energy for my kids and set a good example for them to follow. I am reclaiming my BODY and my LIFE, and I said it for all to see and read on January 14, 2009. Expect to see and read about my total transformation in 90 days!! My Progress My Fitness Goal: Transformation Story
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! I've finally found the determination and the tools to help me reach my goals! Thank you so much BeachBody and Chalene for your incredible workout programs! ChaLEAN More...
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! I've finally found the determination and the tools to help me reach my goals! Thank you so much BeachBody and Chalene for your incredible workout programs! ChaLEAN Extreme ROCKS!! I hope to someday meet Chalene so I can show her my appreciation in person...would a big old hug be okay?? Anyway, I have lost a total of 21 pounds, 22.75 inches over my entire body, and 12% body fat! I am so excited and everyone is noticing the transformation. I feel so much better about myself and have so much more energy. And because of my awesome results, I've had many friends and family ask me what I've been doing and several have already started some of the BeachBody programs (like ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, and Turbo Jam). My own mom started working out after she saw the awesome results I was getting and has already lost 30 pounds herself! It feels so good to know that I helped my mom and my other family and friends get motivated to live a healthier life-style. I notice my friends being concious of what they eat when they are around me, and it makes me proud because every little bit helps and all I want for them is to be happy and healthy. This 90 day challenge seemed like an insurmountable obstacle when I first started, but Chalene organized her program so well that making the changes and doing the workouts was a breeze...and a FUN one at that! I love my new body and I love my new found health! But I'm not stopping there...I will always workout regularly and plan to start P90X in the near future, but for now...Thanks BeachBody...I couldn't have done it without you!
