Blessed

Looking back over the last year, I can't help but be brought to tears with the way my life has changed! I began my journey with beachbody last April. I bought Insanity because my best friend had done it and had great results. I never imagined what that one purchase would lead to. I never knew that a fitness program could make such an impact on my life! I started insanity and wasn't fully committed. I skipped way too many workouts, ate way too much crap, and didn't have the right mindset. I quit 6 weeks in. I have always been a quitter. When things get hard, I quit. I never knew what it felt like to give something my all and complete it.

 

After quitting insanity the first time, I dabbled in other workouts and continued to eat crap. It wasn't until my Coach Liz Horne contacted me in October about challenge groups that things really started turning around for me. When Liz messaged me that night I saw a spark in her like I had never seen before! She was passionate about this thing she was talking about and I wanted to be a part of it. I really believed this was the thing that would FINALLY help me succeed!! When Liz added me into my first challenge group it all started slowly clicking. I realized that I couldn't continue to eat terrible and expect results. I started drinking shakeology and it completely transformed the way I looked at food. You see, food used to be my comfort. I ran to food when things made me mad, sad, when someone hurt my feelings, when I had a bad day at work, when I had an argument with someone. I let food be that support system instead of having another outlet. Challenge groups and my workouts became that outlet! The girls in the challenge groups became my motivators, my encouragers, and my supporters!

 

Liz approached me halfway through the first challenge about becoming a beachbody coach. Me? A beachbody coach? But I never stuck with anything, I'm a quitter, why did she think I would be good at this? Liz saw something in me that I had not yet seen in myself and for that I am forever grateful! Liz saw that little flicker in me that would eventually turn into a spark and now that spark has turned into a FLAME!! I told her I would think about it. I continued through three more challenge groups before I finally worked up the nerve to take the leap of faith.

 

Once I decided to become a beachbody coach it was like a whole new person emerged. I have found something that pushes me past the limitations I had put on myself. I've learned that new life starts just outside of your comfort zone. I have found something I'm truly passionate about! I can't  describe in words the way the last year has changed my life forever. I just know that if I could meet the girl I was a year ago, I wouldn't recognize her. She was negative; I am positive. She was a quitter; I am a go-getter. She was unhealthy and unhappy; I am healthy and happy! She was miserable in her skin; I am finally becoming happy with myself. She held herself back from amazing opportunities; I jump at new opportunities! I could go on and on with the ways I have changed in the last year, but I can't find all the words. If you're ready to change your life forever, now is the time! Don't waste another day unhappy and miserable with the way your life has turned out. You choose the life you live! Make the choice to take your life back and make it YOURS! My best days are not behind me, they're in from of me, and I can't wait to see what is in store!!
