My Story

When I got pregnant with my son I used it as an excuse to stop exercising and eat junk. I loved the idea of "eating for 2," but boy did it get me into trouble! I gained a whopping 50 lbs during my pregnancy and for the fist time, I saw just shy of 200 lbs on the scale. After having my son, I struggled with getting the "baby weight" off. I was and exhausted first time mommy, never made time for myself, unmotivated, and continued to eat junk. I would frequently call the hubby and tell him to pick up food on his way home from work. I was feeling terrible about myself and still wasn't fitting into my pre pregnant clothes. I was still wearing maternity jeans 8 months after having my son!

This is when I was invited by my beachbody coach to join the 14 day health and fitness challenge and found beachbody! I had turned her down multiple times before but knew it was time for a change! The motivation and support I received from this challenge was unlike anything else I've ever experienced! I'm a Type A, who's always up for a good challenge! As soon as a I saw there was a prize involved, I kicked it into high gear and WON! I also managed to lose 4.6 lbs in 2 weeks and got my eating back on track. The challenge finally helped me realize, yes, I am a mom but I am allowed to have my own time and can be healthy! I was finally able to fit working out and eating healthy into my busy schedule without sacrificing time with my son. 

With the help of various beachbody on demand programs, a 2 rounds of the 21 day fix, The Master's Hammer and Chisel and a daily dose of dense superfood nutrition in Shakeology, I was able to meet and exceed my weight loss goal!  I'm happy to report that since my first challenge in August 2015, I've lost a grand total of 65 lbs and weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with my son! I was so inspired by my first beachbody challenge group, it lead me to ultimately becoming a coach in hopes to inspire others along the way.
