Hi everyone!

My name is Jan, and I'm addicted to Beachbody. :D Join the club, right? lol

A little about me - I am a former federal employee whose wonderful husband told her about 5 years that she didn't have to work anymore. Wow! I transitioned from a desk job to a job where I sit with my laptop in a recliner all day. (I now design digital scrapbooking stuff in Photoshop.) But talk about not conducive to staying in shape. In June 2008, DH (Mike) and I knew we needed to do something, so we started with P90. We had wonderful results, so we moved right into P90 Masters Series, and then ChaLEAN Extreme when it came out. During the wait, we also added in some Rockin' Body and Turbo Jam. Fast forward about 30 pounds less for me, and a couple of attempts at some local 5Ks, and we decided to try our first half marathon. That was this past November when we ran the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Antonio. What a blast that was! We got ready for that by using Insanity. That did the trick! Now we're moving into P90X for our winter training with as much running thrown in as we can when the weather cooperates. Being from Maryland, it's about half and half. We will be doing a couple of half marathons this year, as well as various and sundry local shorter races thrown in the mix.

About a year ago, Mike and I decided to become Beachbody coaches. We believe in the company and products so much, we just had to. :D

Other than that, I'm 45, mother to two boys, ages 11 and 13 and two furry cats, and I'm in the best shape of my life and getting better! Love that! :D

Looking forward to getting to know you all! :)

Welcome Jan! I love your story!! It's such an inspiration to me, I am going to share it with my facebook friends here in Charlotte. I hope it will be the jolt that people here in my corner of the world (the South) need to become inspired and decide to take the plunge into health and fitness.
