For those who don’t know me personally, I am a soon to be 47 year young working mom of two teenage boys, a wife, a home maker, and generally a jack of all trades.
Just like you, I leave my house every morning to head off to work, come home to cook dinner and cart kiddos around to extracurricular activities, and clean my house, do laundry and run errands on the weekends while trying to find time for myself and still spend quality time with my family.
There never seems to be enough time in the day!
You have seen my posts, you know that I’m a Beachbody and Accountability Coach, and that I’ve been on a health and fitness journey.
You’ve cheered me on and supported me along the way and you have NO IDEA how much that means to me.
THIS is my BEFORE and AFTER Photo from when I first started my journey.
The TRUE changes however are on the INSIDE.
What becoming an Independent Beachbody Coach has meant to me?
Most of you have seen my workout and inspirational posts and may have even been invited to a Fitness or Clean Eating Challenge, but I’m not sure you know WHY I do it or what it means.
I became an Independent Beachbody Coach about 18 months ago, and it started as a personal journey just for me.
WHY you ask, being over 40 and the heaviest I had ever been at almost 160 pounds on my 5’5” frame, I was uncomfortable and disappointed in myself, I was eating junk and processed foods most of the time, I was cranky and irritated with myself and my family almost constantly. I felt like a failure as a wife and mom.
Then I was offered an opportunity to change all that. I was offered the support and accountability that I needed to finally stick to a workout routine that would work for me. I HATED going to the gym, I felt like it was a competition, and I NEVER saw the results I wanted even after really committing to it.
I signed up as a Beachbody Coach initially for the discount on Shakeology(TM), which has truly changed the way I feel about food. It has helped me with my cravings, it has helped me stop skipping breakfast, it helps me get all of the nutrition, I might otherwise be missing from skipping meals and or getting my meals at the drive through and ultimately change the way I eat all together.
I committed to my first 8 week at home workout program and it had profound effects on my life. Losing the weight has helped me feel better about myself, which has given me the confidence to take the classes in Natural Health that I’ve been wanting to take. I am improving myself on a DAILY basis through personal development because of the support of my team and my coach. It has changed the way I interact with my family and has made the time we spend together more valuable to me.
My WHY is to spend QUALITY time with my children before they are grown and gone, and as they become a freshman and junior next school year that time is running out.
I cannot put a price tag on that.
If I never made another dime as a Beachbody Coach, I am perfectly OK with that.
I AM A BETTER PERSON FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF BEACHBODY.
If I encourage ONE person along my journey to eat better, go for a walk, take a class, get out of their bad relationship, then my life has purpose, my life has meaning and I am grateful every day for the opportunity to live my life to the fullest.
Beachbody does not promise that you’ll become a millionaire, although MANY people have, BUT, if you show up every day, be a part of the community, make the investment in yourself. You WILL live a happier and more fulfilled life.
I still struggle, I still have bad days, I don’t always reach my goals. The difference, I don’t let it define me.
If you’ve been sitting back watching, wondering what’s going on in my life and think it might be something that can change your life as well.
Don’t be shy, I’d love to share my story with you. This opportunity is a gift, the gift of a happier more fulfilled life, and yes you do have to invest money and time into it.
But aren’t’ you worth it?
Could you be ready to start your own journey?
