Why I Chose Beachbody

Growing up there were many things I wanted to be.  A journalist, a psychologist, a police officer and a forensic psychologist.  As I grew older, my life took many twists and turns of it's own.  While working in a Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program for teens, I met my now husband.  I became a wife and, very quickly, a mother and found that my heart was at home with my family.  I had no desire to be anywhere but at home raising my children and supporting the love of my life.  

I fell into the role of stay at home mom very well.  I was a cheer mom, a PTN mom and a volunteer.  I started going to the gym while my little ones were in preschool.  I loved it.  I found that going to the gym with kids in tow wasn't as easy as when they were in school, which was only 2 half days.  Not a lot of time.  I wanted more.  A friend of mine started posting progress pics of a workout she was doing at home called T25.  I was amazed! I needed what she had! So I bought it...shakes and all. After 7 weeks I was blown away! 

I hadn't gotten these type of results in the gym! I wanted more.  So I signed on to be a Beachbody coach myself.  Initially, it was to cover the cost of my shakes.  I couldn't go without my shakes but didn't want to pay full price for them.  I knew that once my friends saw my results, they would want what I was doing.  I was so excited to share and to help pay for my shakes while helping my friends!  Time passed.  I was still doing my workouts and still drinking my shakes.  However, I was finding that my "why" was changing.  I was learning.  Learning how to be good to my body.  I was learning how to feed my family the best way possible.  I was watching my husband lower his blood sugar and cholesterol while working out in between appointments and drinking Shakeology.  

What I was doing became so much more.  

A year and a half later I am still learning.  My lifestyle has changed.  The lifestyle of my family has changed.  I watch parents grow old in poor health and leave their families way to early.  I watch Mom's raise obese children.  My reasons have become far greater than how I am going to look in a bikini during the summer.  My reasons have now become how long I will be around for my husband and my children.  

I have worked very hard at developing a lifestyle that promotes health for myself and my family.  A lifestyle that develops strength and knowledge.  I am not a trainer or a nutritionist.  Rather, a mom who loves her family more than anything in this world.  It is for that reason that I keep myself healthy.  My family needs me.  This is why I do what I do.  It is not selfish to put yourself first.  Where would your family be without you? Whether your family is your parents, a spouse, your children, your best friend or your siblings or grandparents? 

This time for health is now.  Let me help you!
