HAPPIER and HEALTHIER

Wow! Coming across this pic of me from 4 years ago when I "thought" I was in the BEST SHAPE of my life AFTER 3 kids... and seeing this pic from today.. has me SHOCKED!

NOT because of the difference in Pant Size.. 

But because... 

4 years ago... I was tired... stressed out.. accepting of the fact that there was NO WAY I could change anything else about my body.. especially AFTER having kids!
- I didn't work out because there wasn't enough time in the day
- I was TIRED of being TIRED
- My nutrition consisted of hot cheetos and beef jerky (<----YUP!)
- I couldn't make it up a flight of stairs WITHOUT losing my breathe
- I had HIPS and they DONT LIE
- I was a smoker of 15 years (only quit during my pregnancies)
- I drank about a bottle of wine a night... maybe more on weekends...
- I was short-tempered and could snap at the drop of a dime

TODAY.....
I'm HEALTHIER and HAPPIER! Thats all!

I love life! I don't strive to be perfect.. only BETTER than I was the day before!

The fact that I've LOST WEIGHT in the process is ALL a RESULT of a decision I made 21 months ago... which was just to GIVE myself an hour a day to focus on ME!

That decision has forever changed my life! My kids lives! and my Family Life!

Little Black Dress Challenge!

When I signed up as a Coach, I had these small glimpses of me helping other ladies reach their Fitness goals.. and when I say small.. I mean.. I HOPED I could do it, but couldn't actually see it VIVIDLY come to fruition... And I didn't know HOW I could ever even begin to make it happen. Especially since I hadn't even started working on myself.  

And here I am now... a year and a half later.. and I have not only HELPED myself get into the BEST shape of my life.. but I have gotten over 100 LADIES started on THIER FITNESS JOURNEYS!

Its so easy to say.. I'll wait for the New Year to get started. and I don't know about you.. but there are VERY FEW Resolutions that I've kept.. ESPECIALLY the one that I always made year after year about "getting in shape". And because I've helped so many women THROUGHOUT the year.. I realized.. You DO NOT need a Resolution to get started.. YOU JUST NEED TO START!

We have 35 ladies joining our Little Black Dress Challenge that starts December 1st. DONT WAIT til January to make a vow to yourself to start your workout..
I'm INVITING you to JOIN US NOW!

Helping others is WHERE it's AT!!!!

I remember reading Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich about a year and a half ago and thinking to myself that I wanted nothing more than to help others… NOT for my own personal gain.. but because its so rewarding to make someone ELSE happy!

I initially discovered Beachbody to keep myself accountable so that I could reach a goal and actually COMPLETE a program… I would have NEVER thought at the time that I would be receiving messages from MY coaches FIRST thing in the morning to tell me that they received they BIGGEST paycheck for ONE WEEK of helping others do the same!!  

My coaches are in AWE because people are trusting them.. to help them...

- To complete a workout program.. 
- To eat cleaner..
- To get motivation for something that THEY'VE been WANTING for so long..

The JOY and EXCITEMENT that my coaches have from seeing their business thrive and GROW has been ABSOLUTELY REWARDING beyond belief!  I could tear up!

Our team does NOT consist of professional fitness trainers or experts in nutrition.. 

Instead, we are made up of stay at home wives/husbands, part time college students, active duty military, full time professionals in Corporate America, teachers, and hair dressers!  We are normal regular people!!

All doing one thing in common… HELPING OTHERS! 

Seriously though.. If you have been thinking about joining.. You don't want to miss out!  It could be YOU messaging me first thing in the morning!!
