Hi! Please note, my picture is above. I am NOT the winner pictured on the
left (hehe, unless today IS my lucky day).

I've joined Team Beach Body for a variety of reasons. Maybe you have similar
reasons too.

#1. A CONSCIOUS, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CAN ALSO BE MY BUSINESS!
I come to Team Beach Body as an member of the alternative health and
wellness community, thus I am excited to deepen my work to aid our society.
I want to increase my involvement while increasing my own business returns.
Seems like a win-win to me!

#2. GETTING STRONGER TO DO BETTER!
In my primary daily work I'm a National and State Licensed Massage
Therapist. It's my calling and I am EXCELLENT at this. I put out A LOT of
physical energy, so I NEED to increase my strength to continue providing
stellar service for my clients.

#3. I NEED TO MAKE MY FITNESS AND WELL BEING MY #1 PRIORITY.
I am also a Dance/Movement Therapist, a teacher of Yoga, The Nia
Technique, Meditation and a Spiritual counselor (Reverend). With the
massage and other services I have gotten into a habit of letting others have
my precious exercise time. With Beach Body I'm making a commitment to
give that time back to myself NO MATTER WHAT. (it helps that I MIGHT win
something when I workout!)

#4. I WANT TO BE A LEAN, MEAN ROCKIN' MACHINE!
With Beach Body, I know that I can pursue my life long dream of reaching a
great balance of strength, nutrition and wellness management. I want a lean
ripped core AND I want to get so strong that EVERYONE will be surprised that
such a petite pixie carries such a powerful punch!

#5. I'M TIRED OF DOING IT ALONE - IN FACT, I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
I lost my workout buddy when she moved to New York in 2003. I've been on
my own since then. Unfortunately, my body fat % has ALSO gone up since
she moved. :( My Beach Body coach and the rest of the gang REALLY feel
available to help me reach my goals. Team Beach Body has become my NEW
work out buddy!

My reasons for joining say a bit about me, but not everything. Outside of my
service based career, I enjoy my relationships with family and
friends that are like family. I live in the beautiful NW in Oregon, so I go
hiking, visit hot springs, cross country skiing and surfing as time and weather
permits.

Despite all my high energy output, I also enjoy the softer and quieter side of
life. I enjoy reading books of a spiritual nature OR fabulous fiction. I love
sitting in my yard listening to the birds sing and watch squirrels chase each
other. I also receive a great deal of healing from sitting beside a river or the
ocean to just listen.

If you have some of the same issues as me (dietary changes, energy, body fat
AND self-love), then you have come to the right place to change your life.
Beach Body's motto matches all other manifestation practices I've
encountered: Decide, Commit. Succeed.

If you REALLY, REALLY want it...oh...and I mean REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want
it, then you WILL have it.

Do you REALLY want it?

I do! I've got a burning desire to make this happen. If you need help to get
your fire blazing, you've come to the right place!

Like many of us, my genetics play a large part in my health story.

To keep it simple, I come from a long line of addicts on BOTH sides of my
family. One side is addicted to alcohol. The other side to sugar and eating.
One side is mildly violent, irrational and well, not much fun to be around. The
other side is jolly, makes great desserts and are as solid and sometimes as
big as a mountain.

It was pretty easy to avoid the alcohol addiction because the results are just
TOO obvious to avoid. The sugar addiction has been much more difficult,
especially since SO MANY Americans suffer the same fate. Refined sugar is
everywhere and EVERYBODY loves to share it with you. Yikes!

Unfortunately, I've also had a series of physical traumas that have hampered
my ability to exercise MULTIPLE times. Bike crashes. Car crashes. A broken
tail bone and a spinal deformity. I understand pain and how to manage it. I
understand the healing process and the time it takes to heal.

The multitude of accidents has caused my weight to fluctuate multiple times.
I've only reached a near obesity weight level once when I sprained my back in
1990. That was 1 time too many for my comfort!

Finally, with a lot of persistence, grace and the aid of many practitioners, I
am in a pain free state. But getting out of pain has taken me away from
reaching the athletic state I've always dreamed about.

Now that I'm pain free and have many alternative wellness practices to keep
me healthy, I am ready to SHINE!

After just 1 week of Chalene Extreme and 3 days of using the Green Berry
Shake (4/19/09) I have gone from doing 1 (that's one) regular style push up
to doing ALL 12 in the work out PLUS the 3 EXTREMELY SLOW push ups in
regular style.

1 week! I increased my push ups by 14! That's so amazing to me.

I can hardly wait until I've done the program for 30 days. I'll probably be able
to do them one handed!

Today I'm already a winner. I'm not addicted to drugs, alcohol or sugar. I'm
not obese. I'm pain free. And even though I've had more physical traumas
than anyone in my family AND have a spinal deformity I am STILL the
healthiest of them all because I AM COMMITTED to my health.

I know I'm going to be the push-up Queen someday. I can hardly wait to get
my crown!
