Team Beachbody Guest

I am a 37 year old wife and mother. I have two beautiful daughters who are 11 and 7 years old. I have been happily married to my wonderful husband, Reed, for almost 12 years. As you can imagine, they keep me pretty busy. I am a full time nursing student, mom & wife. In addition to that, I also run 2 part-time businesses. I run a part time Stampin' Up! business from my home. I teach classes and do home workshops. I love sharing creative and fun ideas. Then in July of 2007, I became a Team Beachbody Coach. What a truly rewarding decision that was! When I'm not working, I am the Leader for both of my daughters Girl Scout troops and teach church school. I also am currently studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer so that I can take this business to the next level. I am so excited to be able to share what I love and help people to achieve their fitness goals. Plus I really love learning about the body and how everything works. I find it so fascinating! Let's just say, there is "never" a dull moment! If I can find the time to work out, anybody can!
Here are the details of my transformation story.
I had gotten so used to doing and being everything to and for everyone else. Along the way, I lost who I was. I think the day that my eyes were opened was in seeing my "before" picture. I remember thinking, "Who is this person?" The other "BIG" wake up call was when I had weighed myself at 183#! That's what I weighed when I gave birth!! It was time for a change.
I decided to watch my diet and start my exercise program (Yet again!-I have always struggled with my weight-always up and down!) I started walking and doing "Great Body Guaranteed" back in June of 2006. It was easy enough and didn't take too long, an average of 45 minutes. I have completed my 3rd round of P90X and I've added P90x+ in just for FUN! I am currently training for the Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-Day walk. I have been averaging between 6 to 8 miles per day. (With an occasional 12 mile walk thrown in. I'm trying to work up to 20 miles to prepare for the walk.) During the 3-Day walk, we will walk 60 miles over 3 days to raise money for Breast Cancer. I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing cause. So when people always say: "There just isn't time to exercise!"(trust me, I know-I was one of them!!) There may not be time, but YOU need to MAKE the time, YOU need to become your PRIORITY and MAKE the time for YOURSELF!
I haven't missed a day since the end of June 2006. I have never felt or looked better. It is so amazing to me that I was wearing a size 14-16 and I now wear a size 4. I still can't believe it! I lost 56# and 43 3/4 inches. Not to bad for someone who is only 5' 3 1/2". I have done all the diets, quick fixes, and programs out there-there is "NO" magic pill. The only times that I have been successful were when I was working out. Now if I would just continue with it, I wouldn't need to re-start! This time I'm Keeping IT off! I now have the knowledge, the tools(shear determination~wink!) and the support of my Team Beachbody friends!!

I am finding out that as long as I work out every day and watch my diet, I am able to maintain my weight. Working out just needs to be a WAY of LIFE for me. It keeps my body healthy as well as my mind. As an added bonus, it really helps to relieve my stress.

NOTHING tastes as GOOD as being thin FEELS!!

People continue to ask, "How did you do it?" I happily direct them to: teambeachbody.com.
A big "Thank You!" to Tony, Debbie and everyone at Team Beachbody for giving me the tools and inspiration to find "Me" again!
