I Think I'm Ready To Blog!

Wow!  I keep forgetting that I started this Blog Site!
I started it in July of 2010 and this is the first time that I've returned to post.

For a long time I've wanted to be a blogger.  I've seen blogs that others write and I'm often saying, "Oh, I wish I could come up with interesting things to talk and blog about.".  The truth is, I am not good at writing, or even expressing myself verbally.  I find it very difficult to communicate to others how I really think, or how I really feel about things.  But just because you find something to be difficult doesn't mean you shouldn't try!    I may never become a good blogger, but I can be a blogger.  So, here I am!

In my introduction I talked about how I was going to embark on a journey to better health and fitness.  I am happy to say that I have been doing just that!  I discovered BeachBody in home fitness programs early last year.  I also have been eating healthy; ridding myself of junk and processed foods.  I make a point to drink plenty of water daily and I also drink at least one Shakeology a day!  Shakeology is an awesome nutritional meal replacement. Go here if you are interested in learning more about it: Shakeology

These are the results that I was able to achieve with Chalean Extreme and INSANITY.  These a are only the visible results!!
 I have had great results with BeachBody products. in fact, I am so impressed with their products, and the company itself, that I have become an Independent Team BeachBody Coach!!
It's awesome when you can get into shape, help others, and get paid too! Who would have ever thought it!?

The first program that I completed was Chalean Extreme.  I then went on to complete INSANITY.  I did 1 1/2 months of P90X but fizzled out because I wasn't properly fueling my body to be able to keep up with the program.  I love the program, the workouts are awesome, and I do plan to go back to it in the future.  I am currently doing TurboFire.  I just completed my second month and I am loving it!  I am also in my 4th week of a 30 day Brazil Butt Lift program.  Which is awesome!
Here are my "Before" pictures for Brazil Butt Lift.  Which also serve as my "30 day" pictures for TurboFire.

Now, here are my "After" Pictures

I can't describe how wonderful the results of my new lifestyle have been mentally and emotionally!  The positive impact on my self esteem and confidence have been truly amazing.  My fitness level is better than I could have ever imagined too!  I am physically able to enjoy my children, grandchild, and my life!

Since starting this journey I have had a couple of firsts.  I went Zip Lining, rock climbing, and rappelling!  I totally enjoyed each of those adventures!  I am looking forward to MANY more in the future!
Rappelling in the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky.

Well, this serves as an overview of what's been happening since last July.  I have more to talk about such as the fact that I'm trying to teach myself to run, and I have a new Body Bugg to help keep me on track!
But, I'll save all that for another post...
