Coaching!

Friends, I have something EXCITING to share! As you may or may not know about me, I have been a lover of health and fitness for a long time. I enjoyed playing sports in high school and health was my major in college! I had dreams and goals of being a physical therapist, or an athletic director, or a personal trainer. Before I was able to finish college and get into a career, I got pregnant with my oldest daughter! While I was VERY excited (and let's be honest, nervous) about being a mom, it changed my plans and goals for a while. I got pregnant with our second daughter fairly soon after the birth of our first and my health and fitness kind of took a back seat. I was busy being a young mom of these 2 girls and did NOT want to eat healthy or exercise...it was WAAAYYYY down on the list. After we had our 3rd baby, I had a moment that I want to share with you: I overheard an older man ask my husband if I was pregnant. Our son was almost a year old, but I was NOT pregnant. This moment in my life was a make or break moment. It was then that I decided I needed to make a change. I was sad, I was unhappy with my body, I was not confident, and I was uncomfortable. I cried almost daily while getting dressed because I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin. My journey has had it’s up’s and down’s, but I am proud of where I am today and I am proud of the choices I have made to change. Not only have I had changes in my physical appearance, I have had changes in my overall health mentally and emotionally as well. An internal transformation and personally, I think THAT is the most important part. I am happier, I am healthier, I am more confident, and I am able to get dressed tear free! One thing that has helped me so much in my health journey has been surrounding myself with people who are on the same journey as I am. Having this community has been great because we can look to each other for support, accountability, help, motivation, tips, and even complain to each other when our journey is hard! I have been drinking Shakeology and have done several of the workout programs from Beachbody (P90x3, T25, PIYO, and Insanity Max 30) for quite a while now and have fallen in love with them! I have seen such a difference in my overall health and physical fitness by using these products and being a part of online groups that I want to help others in achieving their health goals! If I can help even just ONE person who has struggled with some of the same things I have struggled with, it would be an honor! I became a COACH because of the changes I have seen in myself and because I truly believe EVERYONE can live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life and I would LOVE to help with that!!! I am hosting my first online support and accountability group on October, 19. I would LOVE to be a part of your health journey and help you achieve your health goals, whatever they may be!
