On a personal basis my love for life is traveling. I spend as many days as I can exploring new areas around the country and hope to explore more around the world as I go. I am absolutely in love with the different atmospheres and cultures I find and meeting new people along the way. Being a Beachbody Coach has given me more of this opportunity than I ever could have imagined and for that I am extremely grateful.
When I began my weight loss journey I was at 190 pounds? Scared to death to hit the 200 mark and I knew something had to change. In the past I had never really follow a diet before and my weight gain seemed to just increase with every single child I had. After my last baby I knew I would not have any more and there were NO MORE EXCUSES left for me not to start this journey. So I dug my feet in very quietly at first and went for it.
The unfortunate thing is I choose a very unhealthy way at first and figured I would cut my calories dramatically and it would happen! And it did, however in the mean time I did an unbelievable amount of damage to my health. My thinking at the time was I really did not care about my health, I just wanted to be thin! Well, this ended up with surgery and gaining ALL the weight back.... I felt completely defeated and lost !!!!!!
This was just the eye opening I needed though! From here on out I would do it the right way! The healthy way! So I did research and studied and learned ... and now I am here to share what I have learned on this journey.
When I started on this path I was at the lowest time in my life! I had a new sick baby at home who was not only keeping us up all the time but was in pain and just watching was breaking our hearts as we waited for answers. I was working for a job I disliked for a company who cared less about its employees. I was exhausted from running to all of my children's activities all the time. I had no idea how I was going to find the time to exercise or make the change ... but the desire to do so was burning so hot inside!!!
In my first year I completed three challenge groups and lost 50 pounds with the help of my coach and drinking Shakeology. Then I decided that I wanted to start toning up and lost another 10 with Focus T25 and drinking Shakeology.
Together, we have made very dramatic changes in our lives and are so excited to share our story and continue or journey with you.
