My Beginnings...
Posted by Theresa at 8:42 PM
I started this fitness journey back in April of 2009. To be honest, I always considered myself a relatively fit person. I walked 5 days a week on my treadmill for 50 minutes a day. But I never touched a free weight. I really tried to convince my husband to allow me to purchase a Bowflex. I had seen the ads on TV and was always intrigued by it. He was very resistant, however...and I continued to get frustrated because my weight would not budge. I'm 5'4" and weighed in at 128. Every year it seemed I would gain 1-2 pounds, yet I couldn't explain it. Like I said...I thought I was fit.
My dear friend and future BeachBody Coach was getting awesome results with this workout she was doing. So I decided I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. After all, if she could do it, certainly I could. To be honest, after the second week I was astounded. My body already started to change. My appetite started to change. A few weeks later, I took the plunge and added Shakeology to my life and for the first time that I could remember, I was regular! What a wonderful feeling! Plus, I was able to go off my anti-anxiety medication and sleep like a baby...everynight...for the first time in years! I go to bed at night downright exhausted and sleep comes very quickly.
After being on the program for 6 months, I can now say I have officially reached my initial goal...which was to be 118 pounds. This morning, it became a reality. I am proud, I am confident, I am happy! Granted 10 pounds may not sound like a lot, but since I started at 128, 10 pounds means that I have lost 7.8% of my body weight. Plus, my body fat dropped from almost 30% to under 18%! All that in 6 months.
