Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Before I became a coach I was not overweight by many standards. I knew how much I weighed and what that was making me feel like both physically and mentally. I felt like I just wasn't able to keep up with everything I had going in my life (4 kids and a full time job in sales). I had lost hope that I would ever feel any better then I did right then and I noticed I was changing decisions about my future believing I would be "getting older" and had to accept less in my life. I had been in the Mortgage industry for several years and when I started having heart palpitations and anxiety episodes with depression my doctor said I needed to be taking medication to alleviate the symptoms (Well I'm not a big meds fan so I chose a different path). I chose to alleviate some of the stress instead. When our mortgage market crashed (again) in August of 2007 our mortgage office was shut down and in one month I lost my job and I gave up my career knowing that the industry was no longer for me and I needed to find a career that fit my life as well as was good for my health. Needless to say it wasn't any easy road. We found ourselves living in a motor home, my husband, myself, two kids and two cats. You get to know what is really important living that way. We are slowly working our way out of the hole, but we are doing it with new vision. When I was introduced to beachbody it didn't take me very long at all to know that this was for me. It's been a long time wish of mine to work in the fitness industry, but hasn't been possible until now.
When I began my work outs I realized that I had been deceiving myself. I don't have to get old gracefully..I can fight it every step of the way. Its been about 80 days since I began and my weight hasn't changed much but my muscle mass has dramatically. I continually try on clothes that I haven't fit into for quite some time, but the frosting on the cake was the other day when I was going through clothes my kids couldn't wear anymore. My 20 year old daughter was tossing a cute pair of jeans she'd worn in high school and I couldn't resist...they fit perfectly. Okay so I had to show my daughter. It felt GREAT! (to me). My daughter on the other hand has joined up with beachbody and is working out with me on a regular basis now so she can catch up. I've gained new hope for the future and I look forward to the coming changes in my spirit, soul, and BODY!
