Mary Crawford's Final Essay

June of 2007 began a life changing journey for me. The beginning of my fantastic transformation, if I do say so myself! I went from a 61 year old woman who was overweight, out of shape, out of energy, and complaining a lot about aches and pains . . .to an almost 63 year old woman who is fit, in shape, and looks great! Team Beach Body helped me change my body, my health and my life! What a wonderful blessing for me and my family!

As I write this, I marvel at how quickly this year has passed by, remembering what fun it's been being part of TBB. How exciting to be in the Million Dollar Body GAME and chosen as a May $1,000 winner! Still, I can hardly believe it and feel honored to have been selected. My winning call from Charlotte was thrilling, and seeing myself on BNN was exhilarating! The time invested in getting fit had paid off . . . not just literally, but also "figuratively"!

I used to think being flabby, achy and out of shape was part of growing old. My attitude is different now! I want to be the best I can be for as long as I am able. I want to live my life to the best of my ability with no regrets, and with an attitude of thankfulness for the abilities God has given me to accomplish my goals. No looking back or second guessing. It boils down to the fact that TBB has transformed my body and my attitude. I still have osteoporosis and arthritis, but TBB has shown me how to achieve physical excellence by exercising at my own level, eating good healthy foods (mostly from the top 2 rungs of Michi's Ladder), while enjoying my journey of getting fit and healthy.

TBB has been instrumental in helping me make healthy and wise choices in my life. By choosing exercise, I am making my muscles stronger, which in turn helps my overall health and provides me with a positive emotional outlook. I am strengthening my core muscles, which helps my balance and ability to do things that I had thought were lost to me, like bending and working in my flower garden, or twirling my grandkids around in the yard.

I have continued to workout, improving my shape, and can now "Bring It' at a higher level. I began Power 90 Master Series after having such great results with Power 90. I had to push myself, but it's also been fun exercising with my niece Traci Morrow!

“I have more endurance and stamina, and love that I'm able to "Bring It "with my kids and P90X!”

I listened to my body like Tony told me to do and I know it much better now. I have Basil Joint Arthritis in both thumbs. Every 3 months I used to get a Cortisone shot in each thumb. That went on for 4 years . . .until I started exercising and taking TBB Supplements. I haven't had a Cortisone shot since! I learned even with arthritis that I can do modified pushups and get a heck of an upper body workout. I do ABS almost everyday because it strengthens my lower back, enabling me to keep moving. I have more endurance and stamina, and love that I'm able to "Bring It "with my kids and P90X!

I'm so happy that my family is involved with TBB. Now being healthy, fit and eating correctly is our family tradition. After a family workout this summer, my grandkids and I were enjoying Recovery Drinks. One delightfully said, "I'm all recovered now Gram!"

The Power Half Hour workouts are great, and I especially love the Stretch. It is rejuvenating and it motivates me to go conquer the world . . . or at least the weeds in my garden! With Great Bodies Guaranteed and Ten Minute Trainer, I can get a fast workout, or I can do 3 or 4, and get a full workout. I also love the Slim In 6 Series. I have truly enjoyed mixing up my workouts and doing something different . . . so as you see, all of the TBB DVD'S are "my favorites"!

My weight loss and physical transformation has inspired me to help start a Saturday "Power 90" Exercise Class at my church. It is gratifying to help others get started on their transformation journey! I want to enjoy this season of my life just as much as I did when I was young. Who said only the young can be fit, in shape and look great in their jeans? Thank you to my supportive family and to you TBB!!

Optional Question

Anna Rose Renick is my shining example of a caring, supportive and motivating TBB Coach. I say this not just as her proud and thankful Mother, but as someone who has experienced these wonderful attributes firsthand! Anna Rose has a heart ready to help and encourage others, and it shows in everything she says and does. In June of 2007, Anna introduced me to WOWY, set up a workout area in our garage for me, and I started pushing play. From that time until now, she has been there for me. She has been inspiring, trustworthy and a valuable source of information. She has given me grace when I needed it and pushed me to the next level when I needed that. Her encouraging words have been inspiring and a sweet balm. I love it when she says "You can do it, Mama"! Her steadfast and positive support is priceless. Thank you Anna for all you are and all you do!

Transform your life now!
