Software developer + couch potato + snack lover = old before my time.

Not feeling the greatest, I went to the doctor for a “40-year-old check-up.” He said I was overweight, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and borderline high blood sugar. I’m all for honesty, but this was a bit much. He put me on high blood pressure meds and told me I had to make a change. One night, sitting on the couch eating a bowl of ice cream (hey, I walked the dog that week!), I read a high school buddy’s Facebook post about P90X. Steve’s before and after pictures were impressive, so I researched and learned it was an in-home workout program that was giving people amazing results. I decided that if he could do it, then so could I.

Would this be my fitness reawakening? Would I stick with it? Could I even do such a tough program? Would I get results?

Within the first 60 days of P90X, I knew the answer was YES! I saw dramatic changes. And I did it in my own home, on my own schedule. No driving back and forth to the gym (or dragging my butt there.) Because I was seeing real results, I started looking forward to working out! And my energy increased, so I enjoyed family time more and got back to a more active lifestyle like hiking, biking, and golf; things I hadn’t even realized I had cut out of my life because they took too much effort. I WAS HOOKED!

I decided that my life would never go back to the way it was. I had found my “why.” I read about the health benefits of Shakeology, and signed up as a Beachbody coach to get a discount. This got me plugged in with others working on their health and nutrition, and excited to try other exercise programs. Suddenly there was a shift, and I became fully committed to coaching because I wanted to help others find their “why” and help them conquer all their “why nots.”

What’s a “why not?” It’s your excuse: time, fitness level, family, prior injury, money…whatever you are putting between you and achieving better health. Stop reliving in your failures. Your future self is waiting for you to start your bright new life.

OK, so what happened when I went back to the doctor after 6 months of working out and eating right? He was amazed that I had lost 40 pounds, and my blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels were all normal! He removed me from all medication and told me to keep up with my new lifestyle.

So, how about you? Is your desk job killing you? Are you sick and tired of being tired and sick? Are you sick of being on one diet or another just to lose weight and have it return with 5 more pounds once you stop? Are you frustrated with going to gym with no lasting results?
