LONG,
REAL, VULNERABLE POST AHEAD:
When I was young and hadn't had babies
yet I used to see others before and after photos or read about their
weight loss journey's I kinda snickered to myself, and think "Well
of course you lost weight it's easy, you just eat right and exercise
daily, Some BIG Accomplishment (total sarcasm here)" BOY was I
young and naive.
I truly started on my Health Journey long before
Beachbody was introduced to me.
After
baby #2 i woke up daily at 5:45am to go running/ jogging for 2-3
miles, then I would get on my bike and bike another 5miles all before
7:00 when my hubby had to leave for work, just so that I could get my
body back, see back then it was all still due to vanity that I wanted
to work out.
Well
due to running and pushing my self too much, I hurt my knees and
shins pretty badly, and it took me 2 years to be able to even lightly
jog again, from the pain, and damage I had done.
So
4 years ago when I moved here I found out 3 weeks after moving I was
pregnant with our 3rd child (Yay!) and could no longer jogg, or even
walk the block due to my injury. So I joined the Ymca and went 3-4 mornings a week at 5:15 to participate in one of the weight training classes and then
swim for an hour.
Well then I had the baby and had stayed fairly fit
during the pregnancy, yet after the baby, the weight other than about
10lbs of the 35 I had gained stayed with me. I worked out, I ate
right, I was diligent and yet, it wasn't working. I couldn't seem to
get below 165-170 (I fluctuated quite a bit)
So after a year of
trying many things, none of which were giving me the results i knew
my body was capable of, i found my self in pain from pushing to hard
again, this time it was my back and arms and wrist. And still some
pain in my knees.
I
began to feel hopeless, I felt like I couldn't even do the hobbies I
loved any more. Sewing hurt due to my carpal tunnel issues. Gardening
hurt my back so bad I would be laid up for 4 days after in
excruciating pain. I couldn't get down on the floor and play with the
kids, my wrists were braced and had been for several weeks.
It
got so bad that I was literally pleading with the lord nightly to
give me just a little relief because I thought it selfish of me to
ask for the pain to be completely gone.
But God had other plans for
me. Through the use of essential oils I began to heal and feel less
pain, and anxiety with in about 4 months, then I was introduced to
the PiYo program from Beachbody and the Coaching opportunity.
At
the time I was hesitant and concerned that it might not work since it
seemed nothing else had. But I observed my friend and watched her
success and though maybe, just maybe this might be different from the
other things I had tried.
So
reluctantly I told her I would give it a try, and if it could do for
my health what she was suggesting it could then I would not only be a
believer I would shout it from the rood tops, and help others who
maybe in similar situations.
Folks
I was only 28 when this story began, that is too young for chronic
pain, and to feel in an 80 year old body.
Any
how I am here to tell who ever will take the time to read or listen,
to my experience that YES, it ABSOLUTELY WORKS, I have not felt so
healthy, young and in shape as I do NOW.
It's been since before I had
children 10 years ago.
Take
the Leap, give it a Try, even if you fail at it, you know what at
least you tried.
But if you follow what your Coach( Sherin Stark)
suggests you do 99/100 times you will succeed and you too, can feel
young, healthy and loving life again.
IF you read to the bottom,
Thank you.
