What I USED to look like!

Can I be EMBARRASSINGLY transparent with my friends for a minute? The reason I am doing this is so that you can hold me accountable. If you’ve known me over the years, you’ll remember I used to be rocking numerous Beachbody workouts and Shakeology in 2011-2012. I had tried everything previous, and due to my thyroid issues, Beachbody and Shakeology is the only thing that worked for me back then. In fact, right after Insanity, I had only 10lbs to go to get to my goal! I was in the best shape of my life! But in 2012, a turn of events, including medical issues, led me to throw pity parties in my honor. I wanted to give up everything I had worked for, including the supplemental income from Coaching and health benefits. And I did.

Ever since then, it has been a slippery slope. I had previously found something that really worked for me and I'm kicking myself that I had walked away from it.

This photo should normally show these photos the other way around, but this is in the right order. I can clearly see a huge difference in what I looked like and I remember how great I felt. Today, I’m  40lbs heavier and I feel awful! Not only that, but fertility issues are preventing us from starting a family. I can only attribute it to my weight and terrible diet. I miss the way Shakeology made me feel. I miss the way I used to look!

So this journey is back on. It’s not the end, it’s not the beginning, but it was just a slip off course. I’m getting back on and I’m getting back to Coaching, as well. This is going to be hard work, but it’s an investment in me and any future children I may have. I need my friends (You!) to hold me accountable! I’m dead serious.

And if this post has hit close to home with you and you are serious about getting back in the game, then join in this journey with me. Let’s stick together. I’ll be joining in with a clean-eating group on FaceBook that is starting soon. Completely free, no purchase and all online. It’s just a group of us sticking together with cleaning up our diet and sharing recipes. We are stronger in numbers to keep no one from slipping off-track. Let me know if you are interested in jumping in so we can help each other out.



I have 50lbs to loose.  What's your goal?

No more pity parties. No more excuses. It is time!
