Okay, So I am a wife and mom first and foremost. And I always will be. Anything I do that isn't related to the first two gets shifted down in priority. But I've become a student again in the past couple of months. (Not that I haven't been a life student and constantly looking for the best way to raise my child over the past four years. Sometimes I think I look up stuff on my child just to make sure I'm not screwing things up too bad. lol)
So I am studying to become a medical transcriptionist. That is the student part. And I'm thankful for my editing and writing background. I know I picked the right medical-related thing to go into. Medical coding and billing is big, but I think I will enjoy this much more as it uses skills that I already know and enjoy.
I am a Beachbody coach and I love helping people work toward their fitness and health goals. (So message me if I can help you :) )
So as I've noted in previous blogs I have done P90X and Brazil Butt Lift and am in the middle of P90X2 right now. So I am looking at adding some jogging/running to my routines and thinking that I might want to try a 5K this year sometime, most likely in the summer or fall. Guess I better see what event I want to do and start looking for some training schedules for a 5K. I really think I want to do this. So many help charities, and I have a couple close to my heart. Better start looking :)

An Amazing Year
Today I celebrate my 43rd birthday. It would be just another birthday except that today I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life. I truly never expected to be in the shape I am in today.
The last time I was nearly this healthy or looked like this, I was 15. And honestly I wasn't that healthy. I was a teenager, and my main drink of choice was Mountain Dew! But when you are 15, and your metabolism is high, you are running track everyday and riding your bike 8 miles a day so you don't have to ride the bus to school, you don't notice those MDs and Snickers Bars...
Eleven months ago my weight had been inching up and up and up, mostly from lack of exercise and not really paying attention to what I was eating. I had finally broke down and bought a couple of pairs of jeans in a larger size. Once again an infomercial came on for P90X and my husband commented that he heard it worked, as long as you followed the nutrition plan. So I decided to give it a try.
I saw results within the first 3 weeks. I was quite amazed. I had never had any fitness program--home workout, gym workout, class workout-- do what this had done before. I could see my abs. I always just assumed I was one of the person who couldn't do that.This is my Day 1on the left and Day 90 (really Day 100) pictures with P90X. I've been continuing to workout and eat healthy. And have managed to keep my weight off.
Today I have completed two rounds of P90X. I decided to try Brazil Butt Lift workout for a month. What fun, what a core workout and what a workout. Don't let the name fool you. If you try it you will get a workout and you will get results.
Now I am doing P90X2. It's been a change up from P90X. Here's a my starting pic for P90X2. (I really don't like taking this pictures in case you can't tell from my expression.)
I've just started P90X2's Phase 2. Looking forward to the variety the workout brings.
I am now a Beachbody Coach. If I can help you get to your fitness goals, message me. I have a 90-day fit challenge (and it doesn't have to be with P90X) starting in March. The challenge gives you support, accountability and if you get the March group - we'll be ready for swimsuit season!
