Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I was sitting on the couch a little over a year ago, a depressed, anxiety-ridden, overweight mother of five. My kids were growing up and life seemed to be passing me by as if I was a still life in a picture. My emotions were overwhelming me as I searched for answers. I turned to medication for depression and anxiety, only to fall deeper into an artificial world. It’s hard to explain what life felt like, but for those of you who have been there where you feel alone, emotionally trapped and stuck in a place you never thought you would be, you know the feeling. Some days I was so sad I wanted to disappear and leave my life behind. I know that God kept me going through those times and allowed someone very special to come into my life -- Charline Bucher. She invited me to a workout group where I attended church. I went mostly in hopes of meeting new friends, not expecting exercise to help. I’d tried that before -- joined the gym, walked hours on the treadmill, even spent hundreds on personal trainers and had my hormones tested in search of the key to unlock some secret. But I decided to give it a shot one last time. At least it would give me a reason to get out of the house. I began to work out with the group, complaining every step of the way, my body aching as I tried to keep up with them. Ashamed of my body I covered it in sweat suits, embarrassed by the prospect of being measured and weighed. How could I feel like this at 29? I was too young!

So it was back to the doctor again, still searching for the fix. To my surprise, the turning point came when she told me that no amount of medication would give me the change I so desperately wanted. I had to get my mind right. As I left her office with only a prescription for counseling, something on the inside of me became determined to take control. No holds barred – I would go for it with all my heart this time, fighting for my life. Everyday I worked on me, starting with exercise, and the energy of Turbo Jam kept me wanting more. I began eating better, following the Michi’s ladder and eating from the top 3 tiers, and was taking the Acti-vit metabolism vitamins. When Chalean Extreme came out, I was ready for the new challenge so I asked to join Charline when she worked out. Charline extended me the invitation but thought I would quit, never completing the 90 day program. Five days a week every morning we worked out, never expecting this fitness journey would change every aspect of my life. Not only did I finish the program, I realized I was conquering my depression, overcoming the sadness and anxiety while turning my body into something I had not seen since high school. Sixty pounds lighter, my self confidence soared, not only physically and mentally but my confidence in being a better wife and mom too. My coach became my best friend and mentor, with Beachbody becoming my lifeline back to myself. I know you may be wondering if exercise can do all that. Can it really help me be a better wife, mother and friend? I am a living example of what this exercise program can do. When you take that moment in time for yourself, away from the worries of the world, and focus on becoming a better you, yes it can change your life too!

Today Mike and I are coaching people to the same success I have had emotionally and physically, challenging to reach their dreams and go beyond where they think they can. I have learned that if you have joy at the core of who you are, when life's challenges come your way, you will have the strength to climb any mountain.

I maintain a healthy diet, but my most important change has been adding Shakeology as a vital part of my diet. It has improved my digestive system in ways that hundreds of dollars and countless doctors and supplements couldn’t do. I still use Chalean Extreme as my go-to workout, but I enjoy the intensity of P90X ,Insanity and Brazil Butt Lift :-). I not only work out for me and to maintain my health, but in hopes that I can be a true example to others. Of course it is hard to take that time out for yourself - life does get in the way and you find yourself brushing it off ‘til tomorrow, but this is commitment worth fighting for!
This company is not made up of just amazing products and supplements but it is made up of truly amazing people all who have a passion for helping people in a way which can’t be measured. If you can relate with me when I tell you that I have greatness within me. I have a burning desire to change this world and to leave an impact on people’s lives. I want to do something great in this life!! If you have said these things to yourself at one time but maybe did not know HOW.... if you have dreams and passions that you’re waiting to achieve...this could be what you have been looking for.
