I didn’ t know who I was … And i t was hard for me to accept how much weight I had gained.
� I refused to go clothes shopping because I didn’ t want to buy bigger clothes. � I hated how my thighs rubbed against each other. � I hated looking at old pictures of myself. � I refused to take pictures. � I began feeling judged for how I let myself go.
I can’ t remember what inspired me to finally try working out … maybe it was my big belly, my barely fitting size 38 pants, or just getting tired of feeling sorry for myself ….
Whatever it was, I decided to try running again … That’ s what I did in the past and it was fun for me at one time in my life. Plus, it was something I could do for free and away from judging eyes …
The first time I ran, I lasted for about 5 minutes before I had to stop … My inner thighs rubbed against each other a lot and I was simply out of breath and energy.
I still don’ t know why I kept running … May-be because it was either that or do nothing but feel sorry for myself at home.
By the end of 2009, I was running longer and was even doing some set ups and pushups … On some runs I was able to get up to 6 miles!!! Crazy!!!
However, I ran into a problem, I was still a gooey guy like the Pillsbury Doughboy and I hit a weight loss plateau.
To solve the squishiness issue I went online, in 2010, to find a solution and found the Beachbody Insanity workout.
It was no easy workout but I learned to push myself further than before, got to learn about eating right and even kept a food journal.
By the end of Insanity I weighed about 165 pounds. Closer to my high school weight but still needed more definition … So I went for the Beachbody P90X workout. By this time I included Shakeology as a supplement because I didn’ t eat enough vegetables in my diet.
Because of the great results I achieve with the Beachbody products I became a Independent Team Beachbody Coach for the discount and to hel p others who are going through weight loss struggles of their own.
