Putting myself out there

Posted on Facebook the other night!!  Scary thing to put yourself out there, but feeling strong that I did!

Sorry about the long post! I don't normally do this, but my wonderful coach encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone. So here goes!

I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I was bullied as a kid because of my weight, I was told if I lost weight I would be better at sports and other activities. I never felt good enough. I have had low self-esteem and really bad body image issues my whole life. I've never publicly said any of that! So why now? Right after Jackson was born, I had several complications and health issues. I was told I needed to lose weight, but it didn't sink in. I wasn't feeling well, I hated how I looked, but I kept putting everyone else, and everything else first! Well after lots of prayer and consideration, I decided to change all of that earlier this summer. Eating healthy, exercising, and spending some time on me - that was my mission! So I embarked on this journey and in mid-July I started drinking Shakeology daily, I did the Beachbody 3 day refresh and started in on the 21 Day Fix working with my coach, Kelsey! I have a lot more energy, I feel better, I get excited about making fun foods that the whole family will love and are "fix approved". I have not let anything stop me. I have been bigger than my excuses. I have lost 16 pounds since early July (5.25 inches just in the last 21 days)...and I'm loving this program so much that I signed on to be a coach to others. Not because I’m done with my journey, but rather because I have a long journey left to go and I want to help others make these amazing changes in their lives.

If you are interested in hearing more information, please just let me know and we can chat! Coaching is all done online and over the phone and is for accountability and support. All workouts are done in the comfort of your own home, 30 minutes a day…I do mine while Jackson naps and after the kids go to sleep for the night! Shakeology is delicious and nutritious and gets mailed directly to your door! Can you tell I’m excited about this?!?!

Just started another round of 21 day fix yesterday and ready to kill the next 10 pounds!

Long Journey

I have embarked on a long journey of living a healthier life.  With that, I hope to finally, once and for all, achieve my long term weight loss goals.  I have struggled with my weight all my life.  Being told as a child that I was fat, and would be better at sports if I just lost weight.  I have dieted, done weight watchers, done group training, done fitness challenges and each time I may have short term successes, but have not made life style changes.  This time, I'm in this for the long haul.  I want to feel better about myself, emotionally and physically.

I made this decision at the beginning of the summer.  I'm not just days away from being done with my first round of the 21 day fix and today, I signed up to be a coach.  Why you ask?  Well because if I become a coach, I have to be accountable to not only my coach, but anyone else looking at me for coaching.

I'm happy with my decision.  I'm nervous about my decision.  And I'm excited about my decision.

I will also be posting on here.  For who ever to read.  Recipes, pictures, struggles, successes, rants, etc.

I have been private about my struggles for too long.  I'm ready to put it out there for the world to see.

So...if you are interested in trying Shakeology, trying any of the beachbody programs, looking for an accountability group for your fitness/health goals, contact me for more information, I'd love to help you change your life.
