Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

In 2001 I move to Kirksville, Mo. Within a six month period, I was hit three times from behind in my car.
The first one was the hardest, due to the fact that I was at a dead stop and had my foot on the break… the other two just pushed me over the edge to where I was in a lot of pain. Over the next six years, I went from Dr, to Dr looking for help. I don't like taking pill and most Dr’s just want to treat you with a pill. The pills that they wanted me on were pills that could become habit forming. So, I really just endured the pain and tried to live a normal life.
At work and coaching my daughter softball team, I would push through the pain.
At home my girls would see me living on the couch or in bed to just get off my feet and try to relieve the pain…In 2007, when my hands and legs started to become numb, I knew I have to seek out treatment and do it fast…There was a new Dr that moved into town, and in February, of 2008, I started treatment in his office. I was in my first month treatments, when I was introduce to TBB( Team Beach Body). I didn't think I could do the business or even the workout programs, but, I was in hope of something better and healthier. And just like I had pushed through the pain before, I knew that if I did it with TBB, it would help with my progress to a pain free life.

Over the seven years, not being able to be as active, I had put on 50 pounds. This didn't help with my back problems or my physical, mental outlook. I was feeling depressed. I tried to lose the weight with just diet. I would lose weight, but it would just come back on…if not more then when I started…
March 2008. I was hit again with some really bad news. I guess I could have slipped back into a depressed state of mind. I had committed to TBB…and what my family was going though, they were just going to have to deal with it on their own. As bad as this sounds, I tell people” It’s all about me” it’s not about MY GIRLS…when I get to a healthier me, then the girls will see in the long run that it was about them and that I really did it for all of us……My back is not great, but it is getting better. I'm still in treatment, and I'm going forward…there is no turning back on this one. TBB is my life line right now and I'm not letting go…

May 13th 2009, a tornado came through our neighborhood, and killed my neighbors. I was the first one to find them, THE HARDEST THING TO DO AFTER AN EVENT LIKE THAT IS TO JUST KEEP LIVING... SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TRAINING FOR TRIATHLONS AND NOW I'M TRAINING FOR A 1/2 IRON-MAN. WHAT I KNOW NOW ISTHAT I CAN CONTROL MOST EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE BUT, THE TIME OF MY DEATH,, SO WITH THAT SAID, I'M GOING TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND CONTROL MY WEIGHT, DIET AND HAPPINESS.LIFE IS WORTH LIVING, AND I'M READY TO START LIVING IT...

When my coach introduced me to TBB, I became a coach…I bought the Coach package. I started looking at all the tapes. The first month all I could do was walk.
I just kept telling myself to get up and get moving, So, I did a lot of walking. The first 10 pounds come off and when I was in my third month of back treatments.
My Dr, give me the okay to try to do the tapes. I started out doing Turbo Jam /20 Minute and Hip Hop Abs/ Hips, Buns, and THIGHS. NOW I'M DOING "CHALEAN EXTREME'....RUNNING, BIKING AND SWIMMING. IS MY LIFE..

There were still some moves that I found hard for me to do at first. I would just keep moving doing something else…I found both workout tapes great for what I needed. I love the programs. Chalene is full for energy. Shawn T. is fun. He makes me laugh and Yes! I want to look sexy in my jeans.
My obstacle was the fear of failure. My temptation was letting the fear win.
What distracted me most is having the knowledge that I can't live in an unhealthy environment once I become healthy. Not just in losing the weight, but in all forms of self. I was going to physically, mentally, spiritually and emotional change. I had to take hold of it, understand what it was. It was going to “EMPOWER ME”. …I don't know what my future holds. I do know that I will look awesome and fell spectacular.
I will leave with my “New MILLION DOLLAR BODY” and that will be a great day to walk out looking far better than when I arrived…
I'm far better than I've been before, I'm coming back as a mom, friend and getting to know that I'm Wonderfully Made in Christ who loves me. Awesome is His work. When I started to see the changes in my body, it made me want to work harder.
I'm a walking billboard; I have transformed my whole outlook on life. People are seeing it and wanting it...With TBB, I'm here to give it to them, if they are willing to also, overcome the fear. To me there is no greater love then to lay it all down and to be able to pass it on to others…What a great accomplishment, to be able to walk it out in your own life and then be able to have a tool to help others do the same…what more could one look for in life then to be able to help other rebuild themselves physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. I have a lot of stories, but to me the best is when my own girls tell me I'm looking great and encouraging me to keep going…

IF YOU WANT TO BE LOVE, YOU HAVE TO FIRST LOVE YOURSELF, IF YOU WANT RESPECT,T YOU HAVE TO FIRST RESPECT YOURSELF AND IF YOU WANT SELF EMPOWERMENT GET UP AND WORK OUT AND DO IT FOR NO ONE BUT YOU... YOU’RE WORTH IT!

My transformation started, when Kim called me at my work in a Mexican Restaurant and asked if she could bring in a bottle of champagne to celebrate her entering a contest and winning “SOME MONEY “Some money was what she said….when she arrived with her friends and check. I looked at her and said, “some money, 250.000 is some money to you?” Then, I looked at her before and after picture. I told her I never thought she was that big, she said, because you never really looked at me... My heart leaped with a clear understanding. That is how I have looked at myself and I knew also, that was how others were looking at me as well. She gives me her card. In no time I was in her house signing up on TBB as a club member and motivational coach.

Kim walked it out in her own life and then passed it on to me… Everyone has their own story and reasons for being here. But, we all share one thing in common. To decide, commit and succeed…

I would like to thanks everyone here at TBB, my friend Kim and some money she won.
