I don't even know where to begin! All I can say is that my journey so far has
been anything but difficult! My coach, Kristy McLean has been my inspiration
from the beginning. Her transformation truly made me realize that I needed
to get into shape for so many reasons.

As a child I was always over weight. I struggled my entire life with weight
probably because I had no idea how to take control over my health. I always
thought that weighing less was important no matter what consequences I
took. I remember even thinking that a popular shake diet would solve all my
problems.

At 13 I was diagnosed with a heart irregularity called SVT. Basically, it was
onset of a rapid heart rate. Usually I would have an episode while exercising
or at times when I was stressed out. It was frightening and I truly thought
that I wasn't able to workout and gave up on doing exercise, instead I
practically starved myself into what I thought was healthy, and it truly just
landed me in the ER with more heart complications. I wasn't healthy, just thin,
and truly destroying my body.

I got married to a wonderful man a few years after college. We wanted to have
kids and my cardiologist recommended that I have a minor surgery to correct
my heart issues. Otherwise an episode may have devastating consequences. I
had the surgery and remember thinking that I was going to get in shape
before I got pregnant. That wasn't so true and just a few months before I was
pregnant, was the last time I had worn a bathing suit since I took my
progress picture here in my bio.

I had one baby, never lost all my baby fat, got pregnant again and never lost
it all. Although my weight wasn't the biggest issue, my health was and the
way my body looked told a long story of neglect. I thought I was happy, but I
was also ALWAYS tired, often aggravated and very much becoming
depressed.

Then Kristy McLean, my neighbor and friend made an impression on me that
changed my life. I met her big and never thought anything, but suddenly I
was face to face with this spectacular transformation. I decided to take her
TKB classes on MWF mornings, but it wasn't until taking her AFTER photos for
the Million Dollar Body Contest, that I was truly sold on Beach Body!

I wanted that change, to feel good about myself, to look good and be healthy.
No more excuses, I was going to make a go at it! January 22nd of this year
Kristy and Monica Gray started a ChaLEAN Extreme Challenge that I have
taken to heart. I do these videos along with live TKB workouts and my body
has made a drastic change in just 45 days.

I use Beach Body products such as the whey protein, protein bars, meal
replacement shakes and other supplements. Not only has my body changed
but my mind and spirit. I have energy to chase my kids, and the attitude to
follow. I can't believe how good I feel, life changing and I will never feel any
different. The best part, it's only been 45 days!

I decided to become a coach because of the difference it has made for me. I
know how I lived most of my life and now I l know how I will live the rest. I
feel almost sad that I waited so long to feel so good. Like I said, as I write
this..it has only been 45 days, I can't wait to see what the next 45 days will
bring and the next after that! I also can't wait to see who I can inspire and
how I can help them get the same kind of results I am striving for.

I will always have goals, it's good getting better, better getting best. I believe
in what I am doing for myself, and believe it or not the greatest part is I am
not sacrificing anything...I eat, know it's healthy, I am active for the better of
me and my family and the ease of all my workouts in home and at the gym
compliment the commitments I already have. No more excuses, it's go time!

I'm excited! This is just the beginning to a lifetime of feeling and looking
great! XXOO
