Just over a year ago, I heard about an extreme fitness program called P90X.  I had just turned 40 years old and was about to get married, so it was a great time to start thinking about finally getting into shape but I was skeptical.  I mean come on - it's an infomercial.  Infomercial screams scam.

Instead of watching the beachbody infomercials, I decided to do some research on real people's results.  I spent the entire night scouring the web and watching video after video of people documenting their individual results and by the end of the night, I was sold.  I bought the program the next day and really had no idea what to expect.

This was the beginning of my journey.  I felt so much better day by day that it almost became an obsession.  I began to cut out things from my diet and read everything I could get my hands on about nutrition and fitness.  I've made it through three rounds of p90x and am one month into INSANITY.  I've completely changed my diet and am not eating organic, real food - giving my body what it needs to work as it should.  I am 41 years old and feel AMAZING.

I've decided to start this blog to give others encouragement and share some of the things I've learned along the way.  Luckily, my husband is right beside me during this ride and we're determined to live out our 40's and beyond FEELING GREAT.  Who says you have to get gooey when you're middle-aged?!
