Team Beachbody

My health and fitness have never been more important to me.

After losing about 30 lbs by dancing to my heart's content up in kirkland in the fall of 2008, I started 2009 with a terrible knee injury. Try as I did to get back into dance, my knee just never supported me the same way. In may of 2009, I returned back to the bay area. Ecstatic to be back in the company of my boyfriend and closest friends, I made every weekend (and many weekdays) opportunities to splurge of fun activities, wine and dine, and dine some more. A 2-week bout with the dreaded P90X was unfruitful once things got hot and heavy at work. I had gained back the weight...and then some.

2010 sent me packing to Canada for 6 months where I filled my loneliness with Yelp and Yelp community fun. Of course, Yelp-ing requires going out to various restaurants so that you have material to review. And hello, 20 more pounds. I ran Bay2Breakers in May and the Nike Women's Half-Marathon in October, and while those were such amazing days, I can't help but regret that I didn't train for those races. If I had, I know that my performance would have been much better, and I'd also be in better shape.

Now, it's 2011. I've been relocated again to a town near Yosemite called Oakhurst. No boyfriend. No close friends. Just me and the wilderness... There's no 24Hr Fitness here. The gyms that are in town close before I get home from work, and at this time of year, I just don't feel comfortable running in the morning/night with icy hills, fog, and geez... it's just COLD.

So what's a girl to do.

Well, here's what I'm doing.

After years of Beachbody infomercial brainwashing, I've just bought the Hip Hop Abs system. It should be arriving in 5-7 business days. P90X is so.... ADVANCED. Insanity is so.... INTENSE. The Firm... eh, tried that before, got bored. But Hip Hop Abs, idk, this one makes me feel good. I feel like I can do this program successfully. Afterall... I just want to dance.

Adding Team Beachbody to my homepage tabs.
Looking forward to 60 days with Shaun T.... and his hot bod. lol.
