Team Beachbody Guest

Had I been asked 3 years ago to describe myself, I would have told you that I am a traveler, an artist and a lover of life. Had you seen me one year later, my answer might have included such words as depressed, emotional, frustrated, hopeless.
I wondered to myself, what changed in a year to make my usually joyful heart and spirit, turn into one of heaviness and heart break?
I began to reflect upon my journeys, when I had felt like I could sing or dance or laugh at any moment. I thought of how diligent I was about exercise and the foods I took into my body and in turn, how clear my mind felt at the time. I remember how inspiration met me each morning as I ran along cobbled streets or winding dirt pathways. I recall feeling purposeful and joyous as a way of being. When I came back into the present, I realized that my heart no longer felt happy as it once did, my mind was unclear and my body looked to have betrayed the vision I so long held of it. I was in my late 20’s, feeling depressed, unmotivated and thought I had lost my zeal. I wondered if and how I could find it again. I prayed about it, began to feel my heart soften and open and then, something else happened…
I was traveling south through the Pacific Northwest and received a telephone call, my dear grandmother had just passed away and her memorial was very near to where I was. I come from a large family of passionate, boisterous, affectionate Slovenians and when ever I go “home,” I’m sure to enjoy lots of big embraces and even warmer hearts. Amongst the hub of loving family, I saw my dear cousin Traci Morrow. We exchanged hugs and stories and she began to tell me about her heart for a great fitness program called Team Beachbody. I was immediately inspired! She told me about WOWY, its community, before and after photos, the prizes and I said “Cousin, I’m ready to get fit and win!!!”
I started pushing play to Power 90 Masters Series and listening to my body, during which time learned I had a thyroid imbalance. During my travels, I had done many extreme cleanses and fasts~causing my thyroid to slow, my emotions to swing, my moods to become listless. I began to work with my diet to eat foods that would support my thyroid, used Beachbody supplements and pushed play 6 days a week.
Fast forward to the present, where I have since won $1,000 for my fitness transformation and watched my body go from curvy and soft to LEAN and STRONG! Mentally I feel in my prime and have more energy than EVER before! What fun!
Pushing play transformed my body and empowered my mind. My burning desire emerged as my body changed; I was ready to become the best version of myself-a woman who knows her worth and loves herself enough to rewrite her life.
I have come to know a greater joy through Beachbody, my zest and succulence are back with greater passion than I had known. I am empowered in who I am and how I make my way in the world. Stepping up to live every day in its fullest and most delicious potential! A Beachbody lifestyle has been my recipe for making a complete 180 turn around from being depressed and overweight to a joyous, fit, confident and inspired way of living!
I find it remarkable that with daily exercise, proper nutrition and the desire to change, our inherent nature begins to blossom forth. Sometimes our deeper beauty is just a little buried…Let’s wipe away the muck and let it shine!
YOU ARE SO WORTH IT! xoxo To health and living in*joy!
