Hi,
I'm Jolie. I'm 29 years old. Wife to C(for almost 9 yrs. now)and mom to three great boys A(11), T(8), and S(6). I also work full time as an administrative assistant. My life is very full and at times a little hectic. I think that with so much to take care of I kinda put my health at the bottom of the list (or as some would say "let myself go")even though I know just how foolish that is. I've struggled with my weight since the birth of my first son 11 years ago and with each child I gained more weight. Over the past couple of years my weight has been like a yo-yo. I worked out hard and really restricted my calories and lost 50 lbs. and kept it off for quite a while. Then I decided that I needed to quit smoking for good as it was something I had also been struggling with for years. At first when I quit I really stayed on top of my exercise and calorie intake trying to make sure that I wouldn't gain weight I was so proud of me. But,then I started slacking. I let life and stress, and temptation get the best of me. I pretty much stopped exercising and started eating whatever I felt like eating (not a good idea!!!). It's been a little over a year since I quit smoking (Thank You God!) and during that time I've managed to gain back 30 of the 50 lbs. I had worked so hard to lose. I have been feeling completely disgusted with the shape that I'm in but still could not find the motivation to turn down the yummy (mostly unhealthy)foods that I find so comforting and enjoyable or restart my workouts. Last month at least 4 people that I know started the P90X program and it seems like that's all I heard about. It seemed like I kept hearing about how awesome it was and how hard they we're working and how they could really feel it the next day. I started thinking about how it really feels to "bring it!" in a workout and how good you feel afterward and how much better I feel when I'm taking care of my body. I caught a glimpse of that motivation that has been hiding from me. So,I started researching it online and I liked what I saw. Then I started talking about it with my hubby. Finally, I decided that I wasn't ready for the P90X but that it was something to work up to. So, I ordered the P90 program and waited anxiously for it to arrive. I've been so ready to go. It finally arrived last week,Yay! So, now I'm back in the game. Granted it's only been 3 days but I feel so much better already. I'm ready to "Bring It!" I'm on a mission to restore the temple!
