Thanks for this! Just want to say you are truly an inspiration, congrats all your success, I also wanted to ask did you get a personal trainer or you just work out alone at the gym? What Protein shakes did you try? What has been your biggest struggle throughout this journey? Where are you from? Thanks for takin the time to share your story.

nooooo not per say I was a fitness specialist in the USAF for 6 years before I had a terrible accident .... so no i didn't have a personal trainor per say but i did have a dedicated workout out partner who was a firefighter in training, so we really fed off each other's energy... ( I do know from my military experience and in my personal life now... having a dedicated partner who won't take no for any answer, put up with excuses, and hold you accountable... is better than a personal trainer...)

Protein- Right after surgery I could not tolerate whey Protein or dairy so i was on pea Protein ... until 3 months out now I enjoy 2 different shakes I LOVE chocolate OH YEAH Protein shake but think the calorie counts is high but delicious as far as Protein Shakes go ....the other one is vanilla Elite Gourmet the calorie are a bit better plus it has amino acids for muscle recovery and retention which is a plus and it also has calcuim ... usually I use half a scoop of each in about 8oz of Water in a Blender Bottle or the elite gourmet blends and tastes great with bananas, strawberries, and mixed berries.

OK- Struggles so i've had alot going on with me personally ( seperating and divorcing my husband, instantly becoming a single parent of 2 small kids, selling my house in the BUYERS MARKET, and moving me and little ones across the world) in the last 6 months which i think added to my struggles a bit. In the beginning i was a die hard strictly by the book sleever, I struggled for a couple weeks but got back on track i even reach out to the people on the board and the helped me ( found alot of support here on this board ... I would say if you get off track don't give up find your focus and get right back on track... You can do it and your sleeve will aid you every step of the way... Hope this helps message me anytime ( : and BTW FL native and I now reside in ATLANTA GA AND LOVIN IT
