HER STORY:
Throughout my life, I was always a relatively active person, butafter having two children, and approaching my late 30's, I really lost my motivation to workout and my metabolism went down the drain. I was nearly 50 pounds overweight, unhealthy and very unhappy. I had horrible insomnia and my doctor even recommended that I go on an anti-depressant. My daily activities really just included taking care of the house and my two young children. I had little motivation to do anything else.
My children were both under age 4 and I felt likeI could barely keep up with them. When I wanted to go to bed BEFORE them, I knew that something had to change. One day, I saw a commercial for P90X (an intense 90-day fitness program) and thought, I'd love to do that someday, but felt like it was far out of my reach to achieve something that looked so advanced.
I started my workout program with a small goal toride my exercise bike 10-20 minutes each day. Once that felt easy, Idecided to up my goal to 30-45 minutes. During one of my 45-minuterides, I saw a commercial for Turbo Jam. I thought it looked like funso I decided to give it a try. The combination of my bike rides and the Turbo Jam DVDs helped me to lose my first 25 pounds.
As a stay-at-home mom with two young children,putting ME first to fit in my workouts was a challenge. But, I asked myhusband to watch the kids as soon as he got home from work so that Icould make the time. Adjusting my diet was also a challenge with my "meat and potatoes" husband and kids who eat the usual kid food likehot dogs and mac-n-cheese. I began tracking my calories and tried mybest to eat as clean as possible.
One I felt up to it, I decided to tackle P90X aswell. It was probably the most intense 90-days of my life, but it wasso worth it to change my body and truly change my lifestyle for thebetter. During this time, I also decided to start blogging about health and fitness at personalfitcoach.com. It has been so wonderful to share my experiences with a wider audience and the support and feedback has been amazing.
After my weight loss, I am almost speechless to describe how good I feel. I now have an understanding that fitness is not all about the superficial but making yourself healthier, more confident and positive. I now have the confidence to help others to achieve their health and fitness goals. As a mom, all other moms ask me how I did it. I am now finishing up my Personal Training certificate and will be doing one-on-one and group training in the fall.
