Before I started P90X, I was a typical corporate pear-shaped employee who had finally reached the point where none of my pants fit. At work, I struggled to keep it secret that I had to keep my pants button undone, hidden beneath my taut belt and strategically overhanging shirt.
The final straw came when I took my daughter to an amusement park. I barely fit in the seat on the roller coaster and after struggling to fasten the seatbelt, I only managed to secure it after seeing the look in the ride attendant’s eyes as he was about to tell me I had to get off.
I finally decided that I simply did not want to live the life I was living. After seeing a P90X infomercial—and the amazing results people just like me were getting—I ordered it. What a great move!
My greatest challenge was getting the nutrition right. I love food. Too much. But after struggling over the nutrition guide, and finding material online at Beachbody.com, it all made sense. Tracking my calories and micronutrients wasn’t that difficult. Armed with that knowledge, I was ready to start my P90X journey.
I loved the variety and loved the encouragement from Tony to “always do your best and forget the rest.” It was hard at first, but I stuck with it. I wanted to have a build like Tony, so I was ready to Bring It! Every day. Just the idea that you should work out every day so you can have a GREAT life and KICK BUTT every day made me feel powerful. Yes, working out is hard, but it needs to be a part of your daily life, just like brushing your teeth.
Now, my life is 180° different. On the surface, I feel my results are stunning. I lost 50.6 pounds and 10 inches off my waist. But those results don’t even compare to the way I’ve changed as a person. I have more energy for my kids. I have tremendous emotional clarity and mental acuity.
Best of all, people are always coming up to me and asking how I lost all the weight. They think of me as a different person—and I am. I feel like a switch has been turned on and it’s amazing. I wish there was a way I could say THANK YOU to Beachbody and Tony Horton!
