“Workout at the Beach”, My First Post for my new blog!
Posted on 08. Feb, 2012 by Sharon Schisler in All Posts, Fitness Journey
Hi, my name is Sharon Schisler and welcome to my new blog Workout at the Beach! This is my first ever blog post. My goal is to help people live healthier lives by sharing my P90X transformation in a fun and entertaining way. I live on the Outer Banks of NC which is a beautiful beach resort with tons of history and 105 miles of beautiful beaches. How might you ask am I going to make my transformation fun? Well check back often and you will find out. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. But first things first…a little back ground on how I got started on this workout journey.
About 5 years ago I was seeking a way to get fit. I had purchased an exercise DVD Slim in 6 a few years prior so I pulled that out to try again. “try again” a favorite term of mine…LOL…I thought to myself I need more than just a DVD so I went on line to get extra help and discovered Million Dollar Body which is now called Team Beachbody and message boards that support people using Beachbody products. With the support of a Slim in 6 message board thread I was able to lose 26 lbs. and 13 inches in 6 weeks! I did another round and lost some more but soon reverted back to over eating and not exercising. This pattern continued for several years. I would start then stop for one reason or the other, the Holidays are coming, The Holidays are here, I have guests visiting, I hurt my foot and every other excuse you can think of has caused me to start and stop at least 10 times over the past 5 years doing various Beachbody workouts including Slim Series, P90X, Chalean Extreme (I did complete this one once) Rev Abs , Turbo Fire and Brazil Butt Lift to name a few. Sometimes I got through a full 30 days. Kidding aside I had the best intentions of completing the programs and staying on track but like most of the country I continued to yoyo. I hope posting my story will help me and others stay on track once and for all.
Now fast forward to Nov. 1, 2011 which signifies New Beginnings. In 7 days I will have completed my first full round of P90X which will have taken me more than 90 days to finish, 106 days to be exact. Yes, I missed a few workouts, had a few extra rest days and didn’t eat or drink all the right stuff but I still had positive results. I will put these results up in a couple of weeks including pictures.
This is a new beginning in my fitness, health and business. Nothing in life happens to a tee but we must keep going if we want to be successful and achieve our goals in life. This blog will be about my journey of achieving my goals while helping others achieve their fitness and health goals. I hope you will join me, encourage me and follow me through this journey. I will recap the last 106 days over the next few weeks and show how I will prepare for my next round which I will start either March 1st or March 5th. I hope to educate, motivate and encourage you by posting my story here using words, video, pictures and an occasional Ustream… by having a Workout at the Beach!
