Dawn’s Story =
My name is Dawn. I am 25 and married to an amazing man, A1C Samuel
Brown. We have four fantastic kids that I stay home with full-time. Six
year old Heather, four year old William, two year old Hayden, and 10
month old Reagan. In case you were wondering; Yes, I carried all four
of them through full term pregnancies.Those pregnancies coupled with
staying at home to raise children got me to believe I wouldn’t nor
couldn’t be an active, fit individual again.
During my childhood I was extremely active. Played all day everyday.
There wasn’t a day I would not be running through the woods or playing
big games of baseball, basketball, soccer, racing (you name it we
played it) with the neighbor kids. When I was thirteen I was running,
lifting weights, or working out in some form during morning PE. But,
that was the year I moved from the only place I’d ever known and I
became drastically inactive for the next 12 years. While this didn’t
affect my weight too much, it did have an effect on other things. Not
only did the course of many major events make me unhealthy physically
but it also affected my mental health. I was often depressed,
especially being cooped up in doors all the time. My self-esteem
plummeted and I had zero confidence. I used to be a fearless competitor
and now I was a self-doubting slug. It wasn’t the example I wanted to
give my children and it wasn’t the person who I was deep down.
Like many X graduates I found myself lying in bed, munching on junk
and watching the P90X commercial AGAIN. For some reason that night was
the night I decided to order it. I was tired of being bitter with
myself and envying others. I was fed up with being grouchy, sluggish
and jealous. So, my shipment comes in I start the workouts and I’m
learning the nutrition. I find MFP searching through the app store and
start tracking. What an eye opener my fitness pal is. I order the
amazing shakeology. Then, about week three I search the app store for
P90X and find Coach Wayne’s app for TeamRipped. I read tons the first
few days. Took his advice and started to nail my nutrition!
I had my bad days where I didn’t feel like hitting play but I would
just read/watch TeamRipped transformations and get my butt up! There
were birthday parties with cake, soda and junk but I would think, “What
would Coach Wayne do?” There would be the workouts where I couldn’t
keep up with Dreya, lol, and I would get so mad with myself!!! Then, as
if he were in the room with me, Tony would say just the right thing
whether it was a little tweak to my form I needed or if it was “Do your
best and forget the rest!” At about week seven I saw the first hint of
abdominal definition and there was no stopping me. That was such a
motivating milestone for me! I started lifting heavier and pushing
harder! I brought it! Not once since the birth of my children did I
ever think I could look like I do now. My confidence is growing and I
can’t wait to see where I am a year from now! I may have not been in a
serious life threatening lifestyle before P90X but I wasn’t living much
either. P90X changed my life and I’m never looking back!
