Alexandra-I am introducing myself to you all and sharing my journey. I am not a writer...so bear with me! I decided to do p90 because of my sisters. I am the "chubby" sister. You will see in future pictures that we couldnt possibly be related because we look nothing alike. But we do have the same genes and very different bodies. I have to be honest that I dont really care that much that I am "fuller figured" or "bigger boned" however...I have been feeling really convicted over the last couple of months to really be a good steward of my body. I have been working on so many things over the last couple years to be emotionally happy...but I am realizing it is just as important to align your body with your spirit and mind in order to be whole. This is really a spiritual battle for me. God is teaching me that I live to eat, not eat to live. I have struggled all my life with how food affects me. Every time I eat it hurts or is very uncomfortable. I have learned that I have food allergies...dairy being one of them...and slowly learning what I can and cant eat. This has already presented a challenge for me in the diet. But it is not an excuse...just another challenge to overcome.
My goals for this program are:
-a bonding experience for me and my sisters
-an opprotunity to honor God with my body
-to change my mind set about food and learn to eat to live, not live to eat
-my stomache not to hurt anymore
-90% of seratonin comes from the gut...so I am hoping to feed my brain with seratonin with the balance of exercise and diet
-and to look freaking hot!!!! for me and my husband!

To all of you who might be wondering if this would work for you? I dont know yet..but I do know I am soar...a little stronger...and happier today...thats not all bad!
