Hi Everyone,
My name is Nicole and I am 33 yr old mom of two. I started my weight loss journey back in May 2009 after being unhappy with my weight for years. I started slow by just making changes to my diet (cutting out sugar, super processed stuff and junk in general). I then added a daily yoga routine along with some cardio.
A friend of mine was doing P90X at the time and began telling me about it but I wouldn't try it. I didn't feel I was up to push ups or pull ups and I was totally intimidated by it but we kept each other motivated. By September I had lost approx 30lbs (to date I have lost 43lbs) and felt the need to step things up. I also hit a rough patch in life and almost my mental rock bottom and needed something to focus on so I took the plunge and started P90X!
I was instantly addicted to it and couldn't wait to get home each day to do my workouts. I felt a new kind of mental clarity and for the first time in my life I started to put my needs first. I knew that I needed to get myself into shape so I could keep up with my children and find happiness within myself. Unfortunately about 30 days in I re-injured my back at work (I have two herniated discs - L4/L5) and had to stop.
In January I was finally healed enough to get back to business with P90X so I started again from Day 1 and just finished week 1 of Phase II and I feel amazing!
On top of getting myself in shape I have motivated a group of family and friends to give P90X a shot and believe it or not they are now turning to me for guidance. Weird how things turn out cause a year ago I would have never believed it if someone told me I would be helping others get into shape.
I also recently became active on Twitter and found a great group of people there who help to keep my motivated, have taught me so much about nutrition and are the best support a girl could ask for! I thank all of you for telling me about Fit Club Network and I thank Fit Club Network for giving us all of this valuable information! You guys are awesome!
