💥 You are and will always be my reason to never give up.💥

Don't know my story of how I got started on my health and fitness goals?? Well let me share my friend... Especially if you are new to my page! . Hi, by the way!

You have been seeing my posts regarding me trying to get healthy, but some of you don't understand WHY I am doing this. Am I right? 

The reason why I become a team beachbody coach was not only to help others but it helps me as well!!

The more accountable I am the more motivation it gives me to stay on point. So for some of you, this is old news but some this is new....ok so here we go!

⚠️Vulnerable Post Ahead... ⚠️

I started my journey when my weight reached 215 lbs. I wasn’t always overweight. In fact, I used to work out all the time before my surgery back in 2006. That is when things starting changing for me. They had to remove one of my fallopian tubes because it had gangrene in it. Gross I know! They first thought it was my appendix but they soon realized it wasn’t once they took me in for surgery that same day.

After my surgery, I was told I couldn’t work out for 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks, I felt different and I had no energy and no desire to work out again. Oh snap.... I lost my mojo! LOL It was horrible. My weight started to climb and it wasn’t until 2015 that it reached 215 lbs. 

I didn't feel like me, I kept tugging at my clothes because I was super uncomfortable, and I didn't love myself or the person I became... An emotional eater who was depressed from within. I was in such a funk every day... I can't even explain it fully now, but it wasn't ME.

During those years I had no motivation or even cared about my health. My husband and I ate out a lot and gave no regard to portion sizes.

In 2015, my younger sister asked me to be her maid of honor in her wedding and I was excited for her. She was so happy so of course I would do that for my sister. 

We went to try on dresses and it was very disappointing. Nothing, and I mean nothing would fit or even looked remotely decent on me. Size 18 - 20 wasn't zipping up.  So embarrassed and hurt by this ya'll... Like seriously... My heart hurt.

My sister said you have time until the wedding…you could lose it. I thought to myself yeah right... That is impossible!!! 

Then the whole way home I thought to myself…how did this happen? I was never THAT overweight before, how did I let my weight go this out of control? I didn’t understand it. It was difficult and it bothered me to my core!! Kept thinking I was a complete failure.

It wasn’t until I was at work and all of sudden my vision went black and right then I knew it was my sugar. That was a major wake up call.

See, my grandma was a diabetic and lost both of her legs to it. My first thought was what would happen to my son Shawn if I were to die? He would have no mommy and my husband would have to raise him all on his own? Why and how could I do this to them?? They are my whole life!! BUT.... I was heading in that same direction as grandma if I didn’t take a stand for my insane junk food habits... I mean seriously ya'll... Eating 36 candy bars a week, entire pizzas, and ice cream galore will only kill you. 

I had to find a solution...

A few days later I saw an invite from my now current coach and it was for the 21 Day Program and my first thought was – Could this be it??

I researched it a little, but deep down I knew it was for me... I was drawn to it. With my weight spiraling and my sugar getting higher I thought what do I have to lose? 

I ordered the program and that was the start of my new life because this is not a diet or a short term fix!!

I consider this program my lifestyle now. I am in no way hungry on this program plus my sugar has been regulated. Thank you God!!!..

I eat so much food that sometimes I wonder if I can get it all down. It is amazing! 

Oh and the workouts are pretty awesome too!! Pretty fantastic when they can be done anywhere... I love being at home because I can get in and get out since they are only 30 minutes a day and the instructor is very motivating! . Of course there are different ones but I started out with 30 minutes a day and haven't looked back since!

I no longer dread working out like I did in the past because I am getting results!!! That is what we all want, right??

Plus, the program came with my chocolate veggies/goodies lol!! This stuff is fantastic!! It feels you up! It helps you lose weight, reduce junk food cravings, provides tons of energy, and is great for your digestion! It is definitely the healthiest meal of the day. 

I am still continuing on my journey because I still want to lose another 20 to 30 lbs. but I know now I can accomplish anything.

Plus, I will be teaching my son that his health is worth everything and not to throw it away like I almost did. We love doing workouts together too!! So many are offered on the site! 

“One day and one pound at a time!” You have to start somewhere, why not today? Yeah I know my before pictures are pretty scary but look at the progress I have come thus far! Just imagine where I will be and look like by the end of year!?!? . What will YOUR transformation be like?? Don't give up on yourself... Been there and done that!
