In December, I was feeling frustrated with the fact that I had spent years, and years of trying to lose weight, and trim up. I had counted calories, changed my diet, went on juice fasts, added extra exercises like running/cycling, etc to my week, and no matter what I did my body stubbornly refused to budge from 165 lbs. I had promised myself that this year was different. I was now 50 years old.. and if I don't get myself down to a reasonable weight now.. I'm going to find it even harder in the future.
So I jumped into the Beachbody program Insanity with hope, and a "wait
and see" attitude. RESULTS speak for themselves: I lost 8 pounds in
just 2 months! That would have taken me half a year before.. IF it
happened. But even better than this.. my blood pressure has gone down
from 130/80 to 115/65. My resting pulse rate is now at 57 beats per
minute. This means that my heart is not needing to work as hard to pump
blood through my system. My family has a history of heart problems. I
can't start to explain how having the knowledge that my system is
working better, and more efficiently is helping me feel more confident
about my future. I've lost 6 inches around my waist, and one inch around
the rest of me.
I feel GREAT! I have so much energy, and I sleep soundly. The healthy eating choices that the meal plan offers has expanded my diet to include things that I didn't even know were good like apples with peanut butter. It's now my favorite snack!
I'm going to be starting another Beachbody program on Monday, March 2nd called the 21 Day fix. It's easy, quick, effective, and enjoyable. The colorful pre- measured containers help you to portion out your food in a creative manner, and there is so much flexibility to the food choices!
Usually people post a Before/After picture to reveal the wonderful results of this lifestyle change.. but I am going to do something different. My teenaged son took this video of me working out.. and I can see how much healthier, thinner, and energetic I am. I want you to see it too.
I'd like to invite anyone who is interested in joining me to post a comment down below, or feel free to email me, or facebook message me. I will set up a Challenge group, and we will support each other through the month of March to lose weight, eat healthy, and feel happier.
