Beachbody Coach

I am officially signed up to be a Independent Beachbody Coach!

Now that I have less than three weeks left of Insanity I wanted to take the next step, and share my love of the Beachbody workouts with others.

So, if you're reading this... you probably know me... seeing as I don't think I have an audience of people who don't know me that are going to come to this blog to read about my life (YET, I'll be famous someday... ;) ).

My Weight Journey

For as long as I can remember, I've always been preoccupied by my weight:  especially after I quit ballet after doing it for over 6 years... I went from a size zero to a size 5 and gained about 20 pounds.  At 5' 3" I was around 115 pounds throughout high school. I usually worked out 5 times a day at the local YMCA, I was terrified of gaining weight... but I loved to eat.  AWESOME.

When I started college, I gained the SOPHOMORE 10... or 15... maybe 20.  I don't want to talk about it.  Somehow I avoided my freshman year but after my father passed away, I lost control of my eating habits.  I'm a fairly active person but I didn't make a habit of going to the gym.  And man, I LOVE TO EAT.  That's what gets me.

Then, one summer, I came across Turbo Kick at my local gym and I was HOOKED.  Soon after I bought Turbo Jam.  But, once I went back to school... workout?  NO THANKS.  For the next 3 years my weight went between 120-140.  Let's just say... for a short girl, that's not fun at ALL.  I bought Insanity my senior year, but sprained my ankle soon after, and I wasn't able to continue with it.

Now

Then I graduated college and moved into an apartment where I couldn't even WALK without people complaining about the noise.  Needless to say, I didn't work out for over  year.  Excuses and more excuses.  Weight going up and weight going down.  I was miserable.

In July 2011, I moved into an apartment with my best friend, and boyfriend.  We decided that once we were unpacked, we were going to commit the next 63 days to our fitness... For 63 days we sold our life to INSANITY.

With less than 3 weeks left, I know that I've made a lifelong dedication to fitness.  I can't believe that I have worked out 6 days a week for 6 weeks already.  I never thought it was possible.

Results?

Let's just say I haven't gotten my eating in order.  I love food.  Through writing in this journal, I hope I will be able to get a GRIP on my eating habits.  My body is stronger than it's ever been, and my endurance is through the roof, but when I look at my stomach... it's not where I want it to be.

What's Next?

After Insanity, I plan on doing Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme.  I still can't decide whether I will do a hybrid or both at the same time.  I never thought the day would come that I would be excited to exercise.  I just love the way it makes me feel PHYSICALLY, feeling my body getting stronger everyday and MENTALLY, knowing I'm accomplishing something for myself everyday, in hopes of one day been content with the body I'm in.  Gotta work on that self esteem right?

I'm going to go from WTF to OH YEAH.
