I didn ’ t know who I was … And it 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 help others who are going through weight loss struggles of their own .
