Team Beachbody Guest

I just received my package yesterday. I am getting myself set up to begin my
two day fast on Saturday, and start my slim in 6 program on Monday
morning. I am very positive about beginning this program and look forward
to not only transforming my body, but also my life.

It's been two weeks since I started pushing play, and I am so motivated to
stay with it ! I love the eating program and the daily exercise routines. I don't
wake up miserably sore, or too tired to workout. The toughest battle thus far
is the awful cold, borderline bronchitis, I got after the first week. I was too determined to lose my focus, I pushed play anyway. I am so glad I did. I am down seven pounds to date and have lost 2 inches on each of the body parts
we measured before starting the program. Better yet I have lost 4% body fat,and my muscle definition is starting to show. Everybody ought to try this, it really works !!! And best of all, it is transforming my life, not just my body.
Thank You Beach Body! : ) My body composition has changed some and the reflection in the mirror is not so upsetting anymore. I have to say I am much happier over all and enjoying every day of this new lifestyle.

Well it has been about three months since I last worked out. After coming home from vacation the first week of November, I totally lost my focus and dealt with the holidays instead.

I am starting over and this time I'm try P90X. I
have found some great support through the message boards and hopefully, if by chance I lose focus, I know they will be there cheering me on.
Well, I have to say that P90X is the workout/ eating lifestyle for me. I have totally fallen in love with exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Along with this I
have also made wonderful friends on the P90x Photo gallery boards. Susan and Randy are awesome, and they have gotten me through days that I didn't think I would make it one more minute. We are like a close knit family that totally supports everyone through every step of this awesome journey.
Today I made the decision to take the next step in my Beach Body journey. I became a coach. I am really looking forward to helping and inspiring others who want to take charge of their lifestyle and health through exercise and clean eating. I also look forward to the good friendships; just another blessing of being a part of the Beach Body family.

I completed my first round of P90X!!!! Yes, I have to say that it is the best decision I have ever made for myself. I am enjoying my life so much more since Tony Horton and the "gang" came into my life.
Part of my enjoyment is how my clothes fit! I have gone from a size 12-14 to a size 6 (even in jeans!) in 90 days. I just cannot hardly believe my eyes when I look into the mirror these days. I have also gone from 28% body fat to 13% in just 90 days.
I cannot tell you what a blessing P90X has been to my life. I smile a lot more these days, and feel so much more confident in myself as well. I have also been so blessed by the wonderful friends I have made on the Team X Change Thread.
They all have been there for me every step of the way.
Now that I have pushed play and continued in this journey now nearing 120 days, I can honestly say that I can look in the mirror now and see me for me. I can say that there is not one thing that I "hate" about the reflection I see both outside and on the inside of me. I still see things to work on, but that is just a part of life's journey. I don't have to be unhappy or unacceptable to myself any longer. I chose to make a change both outwardly and inwardly, and I am so glad that I did.
I am coming up to my 180 days in the P90X program and I am healthier and stronger than I have ever been. I recently added the p90X+ workouts to my routine as well as some free weight, weight training. I have not come as far I would have liked, but unfortunately things in life happens, and that's okay, as long as you never quit. I am only about 10 pounds away from where I need to be, so I really am hoping to lean out in the next 6 months.
I have lost down to 151 pounds and very near my goal, but the last three months I have not been exercising regularly. We have just added on to our home for my father-in-law to live with us. Over the last three months I have had to be a nurse for my father-in-law, as well as help move all his things out of his home and into ours and help him and our family adjust to all the new living arrangements. We have had to deal with every emotion known to man as well as deal with contractors and financial issues in all of the changes. Toward the end of this whole crazy thing, I even put on a tool belt and started working to push everything to be finished by Thanksgiving. There were days I worked as many as 21 hours in a single day,slept for a few hours and got up and did it all over again. I know that without the training I have had with P90X, I would have never made it through. So again, Thank you P90x, Tony Horton, and Beachbody family and coaches.
I have started back to P90X just this last week. I love doing it, but I have come to the realization that my body has yet to recover from the last month of my life. So I will continue to push play, but I will listen to my body and make sure to give it the rest it needs too.

It is now April 6th, 2009 and I have just finished the first Burn phase of Chalean Extreme. I am very happy to say that I am starting to feel like myself again. I am excited to see what my body transform
I just finished the first 30 days of Chalean Extreme and I am really enjoying it. I am seeing great improvement and I am excited to see what my body transformation will be at the end of the next 2 months. Best of all, I am getting to share Chalean Extreme with my best friend and she is starting to see her body starting to change. I am so excited for her!
It is now November 4th,2009. I have gone through 2 complete rounds of Chalean Extreme and just this past week finished an entire round of Insanity. I am so pleased with the direction my body composition and shape is going. I am in the best shape of my life and more fit than I had ever dreamed possible for me. Last Spring when Shaun T released his Insanity preview in the 1-on-1 package, I sat in bed, sick with bronchitis, one afternoon watching the workout. I wanted to be able to do that workout, but inside me I didn't think I was physically capable to ever attempt such a cardiovascular challenge. I have had bronchial asthma since I was a very young child. I have pushed through many walls that probably should have stopped me in the past, but with the encouragement and support of a very special basketball coach he helped me achieve far beyond anything I knew was possible for me.
So now as an adult I was faced with just as big of a challenge with Insanity. I was so scared to try it that I didn't even attempt the preview for several months. When I decided to try it I had been doing CE for almost an enitre round and i had finally started to gain some confidence in myself as well as some extra energy. So on my mid-week off day of CE I tried it. Insanity, yes it was very well named and I figured out that I was going to need my rescue inhaler all over again. But I pushed through and was so proud of myself for just getting through the workout. Well, as I mentioned before I was still doing CE with my best friend Marcie, so I knew that doing Insanity right now wasn't an option because I would never just stop my daily workouts with her. After all she is the whole reason I have gotten back on track and I do believe I never want to leave this track again. So I waited for a couple weeks and decided to order Insanity because I was intrigued with it and thought that someday I would maybe be able to work in a couple of the workouts into my schedule.
Well as fate would have it, things in Marcie's life changed, and we were no longer able to continue our workouts. She has lost 25 lbs. and is still keeping her weight down and her eating habits clean. She hopes to return to our workouts again soon. So her miss fortune gave me the oppourtunity to make up my mind to plunge into the Insanity program.
I started the following week. It took me two weeks of doing the Insanity workouts before I was able to do an entire workout without using my inhaler. I was so excited about that! Now, I still have to use my inhaler, but it is not nearly as often as in the beginning. I still have days where I start a move in the workout and I can hardly believe my eyes, I am jumping so much higher than I ever have in my life, and my feet move so much quicker than they used to.It's just fun! It's fun because I have been able to accomplish something I never dreamed possible for me, I am able to push my body through these cardio workouts that I was so afraid to even try. I was so afraid that the asthma would win. It didn't! I have once again been able to break through a wall, a wall of fear and self-doubt, and it feels so good to win. For the first time in my adult life, I am truly proud of me.
