My Weight Loss

my Story

 

Hey everyone! My name is Irina Moore, I am a new mom to a son who is 18 months at this moment and i am 29 years old.

I started this blog to show people, that it`s not impossible to get to your goal, if you only want it bad enough. I want to share my experiences and my dedication, because i know it can be contagious. WHOOHOO! :-D 

 

Ever since i can remember, I have been fighting with my weight. My sister was the lucky one who got our moms genes and even after two babies she jumped right back to her skinny beeing. Considering she is 8 years older than me. While I (29 years old) was the one to get the genes from our dads side (sigh). Thinking back on what I have achieved and how hard I had to fight, I`s okay. I am glad I was the less fortunate child :-) 

At 28 I got pregnant with our beautiful son Mikah Nathanael. The pregnancy was not a nice one AT ALL. I was in constant pain, I didn`t have a second where I was feeling good (no exadurating here). A five minute walk was like hell for me. So of course I did less and less of the physical activities. I started gaining more and more weight. As an average person I didn`t know how to eat healthy, I was only asuming. 

After our sons birth I had gained about 60lbs, lost all the muscles I had and felt as unhappy as a person could be. So I waited the eight weeks untill my doc gave me the `GO` on the working out part. I started right away with Shaun Ts Insanity. All I can say is O!M!G! (remember? no muscles left from the lack of physical activities) I was so extremely out of shape that I couldn`t do three simple air jumps without getting out of breath. I started crying. I have never been this out of shape in my life! But I told myself `If you don`t suck it up now and just push, you won`t ever be happy`. How would I have been able to make my new little family happy if I couldn`t even make my own self happy? And this is exactly what kept me going and fighting. It wasn`t easy, but I stuck with Insanity for eight months. There were so many days where I cried while I was working out, because it just was so hard. Oh you guys... if I could only explain how much I cried. But giving up was not an option. 

By about month four of my Insanity challenge, I kept seeing my friends facebook posts about this stuff called Herbalife. I didn`t know what that was. All i saw was him posting pictures of people he knows and their transformations. Some lost 10lbs, some 20lbs and some over 80, 90lbs. So I messaged him, he gave me a quick explanation and I told him by the 1st of the month, I would like to order. Of course I didn`t because I thought it`s propably way to expensive. Around my month five of Insanity came the time where I hit rock bottom. I was working out like crazy but nothing was happening. You can imagine how frustrating that was for me. But I continued watching others getting those crazy results, on my friends facbeook, for another four months. Untill I finally messaged him again and asked for the price. He cutomized me my own nutrition plan and told me $155. That`s it?? I expected waaaaay more. 

Only 4 days, on this plan that my friend created me, I started seeing the first difference!!! I called him and yelled into the phone. haha. I am so serious! I ordered some more and I told him `sign me up`! 

So here I am now, down over 60lbs on fat since pregnancy, gained 30lbs on healthy muscle, feeling happier that I have ever been. And can not wait to be able to do the same for otheres, that my friend did for me! :-D

 

 

Thank you  :-)
