First of all, why am I putting so much time and effort into improving my health? Back in my more immature years, my reasons for trying to lose weight were always about everyone else. I wanted to be popular at school, I wanted to look like all the "cool" girls who I thought had such perfect and easy lives, I wanted boys to think I was attractive. I'm sure many can relate. Were those reasons ever enough to keep me motivated to stick with anything? Nope! Every Monday was a new fad diet I was trying or some other stupid quick fix that I thought was going to work.
In the more recent years after graduating from college, I had some success through a couple different methods/programs. Back in late 2013/2014, I had lost 50 lbs in 6 months but I still wasn't doing it for all the right reasons. When I met my husband in late 2014, I was at my best by comparison to how I used to be but still not quite where I wanted to be. Oh, how easy it is to slip backwards while dating, getting engaged, and getting married with so many dinner dates and cooking for each other and just being super busy, staying on a "diet" easily slips off the priority list. So I found myself back at square 1.
Now that I'm married to a man who loves me for me no matter what, it's quite a bit easier to find the real reasons why I want and need to work on living a healthier lifestyle. I'm doing it for ME, not for anyone else. I no longer want to feel guilty after everything I eat. I no longer want to keep trying to fit into clothes that dig into my skin all day long. I no longer want to get easily tired out doing active things with my husband. I no longer want to avoid stepping on the scale or looking in the mirror at all costs. I want to be able to look in the mirror every day and like the person I see looking back at me and this time I will get there!
The 2nd why I've been working on is figuring out why I am a BeachBody coach. I'm a BeachBody coach because I truly have a passion for building friendships with other women who are on or want to be on their own journey to becoming healthier. It is NOT about hooking you in, making a sale, and never talking to you again. It IS about building a friendship, potentially helping you find a fitness/nutrition program that will work best for you and helping you through it so that you can see amazing results just like I am and share with you the things that I'm doing to learn long lasting healthier habits. I would love nothing more than to hear that a friend of mine is seeing results and is becoming happier with the person they see in the mirror.
I want to be the person that makes a difference in your life!
