Team Beachbody Guest

Most of my adult life, I have maintained some semblance of fitness. Staying
fit in college was easy - walking nine to 18 golf holes four to five days a week
burns a lot of calories! I’ve always maintained relative strength and flexibility
as well. However, when I became Head Golf Professional at my last club,
most of my days were spent behind a desk. During that time, I took up
running, but I think that was the only reason I stopped gaining weight - I
sure didn’t lose any! So, over the last several years, my weight has creeped
up. No tragic events. No ailments. No excuses, really. I finally came to the
realization that my attitudes and actions were responsible for my condition.
Period.

I heard about P90X from my brother, who told me his friend’s wife lost 30
pounds working out with Tony Horton! OMG - that’s my number! That’s how
much I need to lose! Gimme gimme! So, I ordered it, and dove in. At the
time I started my first round, I was training for my first half-marathon. Well,
talk about tough for a half-lazy redneck chick! I got through the first round,
finished my half-marathon in goal time, but only lost a little weight and a few
overall inches - cuz I was eating like a horse! I immediately started a second
round, but ditched the running; I was still eating like I was running, too. Well,
somewhere in the middle of that round, I decided to revise my goals. I wasn’t
seeing any results, and was just spinning my wheels.

So, here I am. I currently in Round 4 of P90X and training for another half-marathon in February. I am also trying to develop new eating habits, and adhere
better to the Nutrition Plan as set out by the Beachbody team. I know if I do
that, I will reach and possibly exceed my goals.

I also want to be an inspiration for others as a Beachbody Coach. If I can help
just one person achieve their goals and dreams in health, I will feel all my
personal effort has paid off.

To be continued!
