About Me

Hello!

I am a 30 year old mother to 2 amazing kids - Wyatt (4) and McKinley (1). I (like every other mom!) am crazy busy and finding time to work out was TOUGH.

After McKinley was born the weight just STAYED. I managed to get it off much faster after Wyatt and could not figure out what I needed to do. I started running because my husband is a runner - BUT I am not a runner. I dreaded it every day. This clearly, was not going to work long term.

I wanted to shed those pounds that made me avoid the mirrors in our house and a gym just wasn't an option. We didn't have the extra money for a monthly fee and I could not rationalize going to work all day, just to pick up my kids and drop them off at a gym daycare.

My life changed the day a college friend posted about PiYo. I bought the DVD's and took my measurements and before pictures (cringing all the way!) and decided I was going to do this. The pictures depressed me JUST enough to give me a reason to set my alarm for 4:30am every morning. This was the only time that I could guarantee that the kids would not need me & I still be able to get to work on time.

It took a few weeks but I became hooked. I am not a flexible person, but I was able to do the moves and feel the results. After 30 days I felt like this could become a lifestyle change for me - I could see myself working out regularly if it was going to be as easy as hitting play on a DVD. One thing I was missing was my nutrition. I would eat good 75% of the time but I was rushed and I could easily be persuaded to eat out and break my plan. I decided to invest in Shakeology because I knew I was missing a big component of my daily nutrition. Also, I had begun to TRUST the workouts and I began to believe in Beachbody. I was ready to try out the "magical drink" that they say will do so much.

That is when I really started to see the changes in my body and energy skyrocket. I FELT better every day. I looked forward to waking up every morning for my workout because I knew I got a delicious chocolate "milkshake" afterwards. After my 60 days I lost 4 lbs and 9.5 inches. I could not believe the change and LOVE my new body :) I moved right into T25 and will start the 21 Day Fix soon!!

I became a Beachbody coach because I love the products and what this company has done for me - I want to spread the word. I am here to help you reach all of your fitness and health goals because I know how much value it will add to your life.  Running accountability groups for people who are trying to make a change in their lives in my passion and it is one of the reasons I look forward to waking up in the morning.  I have learned SO much over the past 5 months and I cannot wait to continue to share with others. My family and I are more healthy than ever before and I am pumped to see where this journey takes me. Please check back to see my journey!
