It has now been 2 weeks on the Les Mills PUMP program and I am completely in love with it, I am on DVD #2 Pump n Burn and boy does it burn, Im doing over 120 squats and today for the 1st time I was able to get through the whole routine without stopping, what an amazing feeling... I am down 5 lbs and 8.5 inches, the girls in my 30 day challenge group are doing amazing too, we are all making progress in our health and fitness journey...What I love the most about this program is that in reality its a 3 day a week program, I do the Les Mills PUMP barbell routines on Mon, Wed and Fri, then Tues and Thurs and sometimes on the weekends, I add Cardio and ABS at the gym, so I to get to workout with my honey and help him with his clients too, so with this program I get the BEST of both worlds a GREAT HOME workout with room to go to the gym too. My health is doing well, thank God, its been a good 2 weeks, no pain, a headache here and there but nothing major, and thanks to my workouts, Shakeology and portion control I can see a light at the end of the tunnel again... Next Update in 2 weeks at the 30 day point in this 90 day program, LETS GO!

A NEW Beginning...

It has been a while since I have written due to health issues which put my fitness routine on the back burner, I still worked out but the consistency was not there. This year started rough for me, my Endometriosis is back, I had 1 of the worst bouts in over 2 years at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb that knocked me down for over 2 weeks, then last week I got an acute bout of Diverticulitis, something new to the mix of my health issues. I was in the hospital for almost a week and now I cannot eat anything with seeds or nuts and I have to be more aware of what I eat, thank goodness for Shakeology, my life saver once again... Last year my serotonin levels were so low I had to go back on anti-depressants that was a challenge all on its own, then the nose bleeds came back and the migraines and it was 1 thing after another, through it all I went back up to 192lbs, I managed to get back down to 178lbs until I went into the hospital. On Mon March 12th I was up to 188lbs, I started a new fitness journey that day with a new program Les Mills PUMP our new BB program and a 30 day Challenge with a small group. All I can say is that 3 days of eating clean, drinking Shakeology and working out has me feeling great, next weigh in is on March 25h, the 2 wk point and I cant wait to see what this program does for me. I am feeling like myself again, and looking forward to each new day. I turn 42 in July and I want to reach my goal this year of getting back down to 145lbs. One thing I have learned through this process is that fitness is not a luxury for me its a necessity and it has become part of my life, when I have to stop working out I miss it, for real, lol, I never thought I would say that, but its the truth, health and fitness is a lifestyle for me and 1 that I plan to stick with for the rest of my life... I am blessed to have a certified personal trainer for a fiance, Joe has been great, he supports me, pushes me and stands by me and also keeps me in check when I have to take a break to get better, having him by my side has made a huge difference in my life and I am so grateful to God for putting him in my life. Of coarse I have the support of my fams both my real fams and my whole BB fams too and it makes being on this journey so much easier and so much more enjoyable, it really makes a difference when you have people who believe in you. I am so grateful to BB for helping me turn my life around, if it wasnt for that informecial on P90X and people telling me about it I would of never gotten to where I am today, I know 1st hand that the BB programs work, I love going to the gym, but life happens and its not always easy to get to the gym, whether its finances, time, or anything else, its easy to say I cant go today, Ill go tomorrow, but having a program at home that you can pop in and press play makes all the difference in the world, I know it has for me. It made such an impact in my life that I became a BB Coach a decision that Im glad I made every single day, I love being able to help people attain their goals while keeping me accountable to reaching my own goals. I know first hand its not easy, I have tons of health issues, I have 3 kids, a full time job, and now a fiance, I have a LIFE, but thanks to BB I was able to make changes in my life that will be with me forever... I was in love with P90X until I did Chalene Extreme, I'm a weights kind of girl, I know from personal experience that you need resistance training to gain muscle and muscle is what BURNS fat, Cardio is great but you need weights too, and trust me YOU DO NOT bulk up, thats a myth, women have less testosterone than men the hormone that makes you get bulky so GO FOR IT, add the weights and you will see your body transform like never before, Chalene Extreme quickly became my favorite workout from BB until NOW, Les Mills just became my number 1 workout for sure, it gives you the Cardio we all need with the resistance we need, the BEST of both worlds and the REP EFFECT is NO JOKE and Im only on disc 1 Pump Challenge the basics thats only 30 mins long, I cant wait to dive into the rest of the program... Fitness is NOT a fad its a lifestyle... On March 12, I began my new fitness journey at 188lbs, Im looking forward to seeing what happens in the next 90 days with Les Mills PUMP! I'm PUMPED!!! LETS GO!

Until next time, Yosie
