Team Beachbody Guest

Four years ago I finally got my attitude for health and fitness on the right path. I had yo-yo'ed my weight for many years. I was 205 pounds after my second child and had zero energy, poor self esteem, and zero desire to do anything. I took a photo of myself in a bathing suit (Bikini) to really see the true me....that was the last straw. I had been very athletic growing up but as life got more and more stressfull and not dealing with past issues of abuse sent me on my years of up's and down's on the rollercoaster scale ride. When I saw those photos I was shocked. I was so ashamed. But determined to get fit and deal with the issues in my head. So I joined a gym, went 5-6 days a week. I started therapy and discovered I had ADD and other issues....that's a whole other story. So I went on medication to help me focus. Well that was GREAT!!....so I thought. I had incredible energy, could focus, wasn't hungry and working out like a fiend. I had the energy to do this and take care of a household and two small boys. Of course the weight fell off and I felt amazing. I was down to 130 pounds and 18% body fat. In a bikini, living in florida by the beach so I was loving life......Until my husband lost his job, couldn't sell the house, have to move back to the cold, wet west coast. The stress got so bad, even my ADD meds weren't helping. So off the meds I go, stop working out, and watch 20 pounds ooze back on. Now that we are settled, I am determined to get back my health....but this time without the ADD meds. I am eating better and taking incredible vitamins and I love the protein shake. I have many of the dvd's but my favorite (P90X) was stolen on our journey across the US....as were alot of things. So I am back and I will keep you posted on my journey back to Health and Fitness.
