So after I started going to boot camp twice a week all summer, I decided I wanted to try to run more. At bootcamp we had to jog around the perimeter of the parking lot and I couldn’t do it. As a very driven person, this frustrated me! I kept trying, pushing, pushing, closing my eyes to get past that one light pole, then the next, then I started doing more cardio outside of bootcamp. I was up to like 50 minutes of cardio like 3 times a week for a while.
Between June and November (2011) I lost close to 50 lbs which equals about 3 pant sizes! I felt AMAZING! In September I ran my first 5K, with my cousin. I had a cramp in my leg the whole time, so it was a challenge, but I finished the hilly course. The end of November I did another 5K with some girlfriends and did much better than the first. We had so much fun that it became a trend for us. We started signing up for all kinds of races. We did our first half marathon together in March of this year (2012).
In February 2012 I started drinking Shakeology. I was curious what my sister-in-law was doing with Beachbody. I love the beach, and have a newfound passion for changing my body, now that I know it really is possible, so I started asking questions. I ordered a Challenge pack from Beachbody and started drinking Shakeology and doing the Hip Hop Abs program at home in addition to my regular routine at the gym, and trying to eat clean. Between Feb and May I lost 4 inches off my waist and built up a lot of muscle.
Reflection: When I was younger I was always FAT! I was always uncomfortable with myself, with my closest friends and even when I was alone. I was uncomfortable in my own skin. I hated walking down the hallway at school. I hated walking in the grocery store. I hated walking down the street. I hated myself! It is really sad when I look back. I made so many excuses, but never really even tried 100%! I always said I couldn’t run, because when I was in PE Class, I would have to run, I would catch a cramp in my sie, my leg would hurt, or something else would hurt, or I would just want to pass out! I was totally out of shape! Well losing my jobs made me realize that yeah, I am GREAT at my job, but I am truly only as GREAT as my brain will allow me to be on a daily basis. If I am overworked, and overwhelmed, I am not producing enough, I will keep losing jobs, no matter how smart, dedicated, responsible, driven, and independent I am!
When I started drinking Shakeology I noticed a difference immediately. In my energy levels, in my digestive system, and also in my brain clarity. A lot of people drink it in the morning, but I really enjoy oatmeal, and eggs, and other breakfast treats. So I use my Shakeology for a mid afternoon meal replacement, which really helps with the 2:00 – 3:00 slump.
The Reason why I decided to Join Beachbody is because I have so many friends and family that can benefit from the healthy lifestyle that follows with the use of Team BeachBody Products. Shakeology is simply Brilliant, and it is ultimately packed with over 70 100% all Natural Superfoods! It doesn’t get any better than that. I want to share my results as I continue my journey and work toward bigger and better goals for myself and my business. I want my friends and family to work on getting healthier, and happier as well. I want to see my friends and family work on preventing illness and disease instead of continuing to medicate these ailings! Lets Get Healthy Together!
