Going back a few years ago, I had just completed P90X, and
was going to start P90X doubles, just a week before starting this program I was
in a car accident which left me with neck, and lower back damage.
My life was turned upside down. My extreme exercise routine
now consist of laying in bed, sitting, and medicated.
I lost not only by ability to workout, I had lost my
independence. My health also took a turn for the worst, gaining 40 lbs., my
sugar levels on the rise as well as my blood-pressure, not to mention my
joints, and body which at one point was a well oiled machine. I felt like the
Tin Man in the Wizard of OZ.
Almost shy of three years since my accident, my life took a
U-turn, I knew I had to do something, Physical Therapy was not much help, the
doctors just wanted to medicate or their only other advice was surgery, which
was NOT an option!
My Daughter Alyssa had been a vegetarian for some time, and
kept telling me I should try it, just to loose some weight since I could not
work out.
I put off the idea, and kept enjoying my greasy, sugary, and, dairy foods
that gave me an instant high only to feel worse about myself.
So one and a half months ago, Alyssa said, she was going
Vegan, and I thought, this is my last change! I Had to get healthy again!
