Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my page! Just wanted to give you guys a little insight to well ME! I'd say I started my journey in January of 2014 but the truth is my journey started a long time ago. I've never been the super fit girl. I've played sports my whole life but was never a star athlete. In high school I never really seemed to fit in with anyone and for the most part I was okay with that. I could and still can get along with anyone but had very few people that i felt like understood me.
Fast forward to college and I quickly adapted to my surroundings. I was a girl who would easily make friends and could hold a conversation with anyone. Because of that I was also the girl who would spend most Thursdays-Sundays partying and drinking and was more focused on my social life than my studies. Not only was I filling my body w/ empty calories from alcohol that usually lead to late night fast food runs and to say I gained weight my freshman year was an understatement. I joined a sorority and had an amazing experience moved to Arizona on a whim and continued down that path.
My first couple years in Arizona were a lot like my first couple years at college. However, living in a state that's sunny what seems like 360 days a year you can easily begin to compare yourself to others around you and become super super picky about your body. I did all the unhealthy things you could think of to loose weight and tried just about every diet you can think of. When that didn't work I joined a gym and spent money I didn't really have on a personal trainer. He was great and I was finally starting to see real results. Then i started to get to an unhealthy addiction where i was doing 2-3 hours of cardio 5-6 days a week....let's be honest A. Ain't nobody got time for that and B. WHHHHHYYYY????? It worked for a temporary fix I lost almost 60 lbs in 5 months but HOWEVER food was BORING!!! --> Now lets HOLD THE PHONE here for just a few minutes I do need to stop and thank Joey my incredible trainer who A. tried to talk me out of my cardio addiction and made me lift some weights AND also give me such incredible experience that made me want to help other people on their journey and is probably a bigger influence on my life than he will most likely EVER know!
Ohkay anyways, I moved home stopped working out, started eating junk and quickly gained most of what I had lost. I joined a gym felt out on an ship alone tried classes wasn't my thing mostly because I didn't have the drive to make myself go! November 2013 I had seen a great friend who had an INCREDIBLE transformation after having babies and made a connection, I knew that I needed to do something and I knew that while it turned to an unhealthy addiction I felt my best when I had a direction and a plan for my health and fitness. I remember how great those endorphin's felt when I used to push myself to the max (runners high anyone?) I had heard of p90x had no idea there was an actual company with people behind it but it was brought to my attention that p90x3 was about to be released. I said to myself "Well, there's no way you could make it through p90x but 30 mins that I can do." (Note to anyone still with me reading this I could have made it, your mind will do anything you plant it to do) I lost 28 lbs and 27.5 inches in 90 days and I was hooked. People had started to ask what I was doing and I was so glad to share. I have been though all those feels, I know what the highs and the lows feel like and I love being a backboard for people when they need it to figure out the next step and bounce ideas off of. That's when I really started thinking about this coaching thing and team beachbody. I already had proven the product worked and I was a walking billboard I figured I might as well give it a shot and see what can come of it.
Fast forward now to almost 2 years later I am slowly creeping up to the -100 lbs mark, I LOVE everything about this business ~ Helping others, Continuing to push and grow myself and those around me, the reward of hearing other people get excited that they now can do things they couldn't or that they have more energy, that they can play with their kids and MOST IMPORTANTLY be comfortable in their own skin. Incredible side bonus to this I no longer feel like I don't fit in, I am able to surround myself with the MOST INCREDIBLE people I've ever met in my life who challenge me, push me, and continue to help develop me and for that I will forever be truly blessed. If you made it through all this give yourself a pat on the back AND please reach out to me! I would love to hear from you!!!
