Everyday is a step toward the biggest goal ever! To be health, strong and fit for life. I work in a field where I see the effects of obesity and poor life style choices that not only effect and destroy the lives of the people the I try to help, but also the lives of their spouses, children and friends. Being an Emergency Room nurse, I get to see people at their most difficult times. Most often related to the effects of poor eating and sedentary life styles. I have not always been thin and actively engaged in healthy lifestyle choices myself. I spend a good portion of 10 years being overweight, feeling depressed and struggling with poor body image after getting pregnant with my first son. It wasn't until after our last child was almost 2 that I decided that I was not going to use "just had a baby" as an excuse for being overweight. It was time to make some changes.
At first, making changes seemed like a battle. Try this diet, try this pill, up and down weight. Always in the back of my mind feeling guilty if I ate something sweet or indulged in a burger. If I didn't eat something I wanted I felt deprived and resentful that I wasn't born naturally thin. I started Weight Watchers at 145 pounds was able to start looking at food not as a crutch or a gift to myself for doing "well" on my "diet". I was learning that healthy eating was a lifestyle choice and fuel for all the activities that I so desired to do. I was able to lose alot of weight but was still very out of shape.
I stumbled upon Chalene Extreme after seeing a P90X infomercial. I went to the Beachbody website to research it more and found Chalene Johnson. I always loved lifting weights in school and found that the length of her workouts was right up my alley. I alway found how much Beachbody had to offer and after ordering Chalene Extreme, starting her workout and visiting WOWY online gym was I hooked to Beachbody and my attitude about fitness and exercise changed. I saw changes in my body and the strength and muscle definition I was getting made me feel incredible. I decided to become a coach because I wanted to take advantage of the 25% discount. I'm hooked on Shakeology and Beachbody products now and there is no turning back for me. My goal is to be fit for life. I hope to bring my family along and anyone else that I come in contact with. I'm a huge believer that you are what you put into yourself. I'm a work in progress everyday and Beachbody is helping me along every step of the way!
