Fitness Group

I am beyond excited. In less than a month, I will be launching the women's fitness group at Redemption Church in Tempe. It's amazing that I have been given this opportunity. I have come so far in my weight loss journey, but the conversations I have had with other women continue to push me in new directions. Many of my friends and family have purchased BeachBody workouts, and many have come over to work out with me too! I have committed to working out at least 5 times a week for at least 30 mins, so I love when I am not doing it alone.

Right before I discovered the magical world of BeachBody and Shakeology, I talked to SO many women about weight loss struggles, being a first time mommy, wrong expectations, and postpartum depression. How do we explain to our husbands that we're struggling with depression after one of the most amazing experiences in our life? How do we explain that we completely understand many women would trade places with us in a heartbeat, but we can't stop the tears? What happened to my body? Will these stretch marks be this big and dark purple FOREVER? I didn't know many moms to ask. I had my own, but she didn't really develop stretch marks. Who could I talk to about these issues?

I realized I needed to have women in my life. Actually IN my life. Once I met my BeachBody coach, Shannon, I knew God had placed her in my path. I followed her on Facebook for a month, completing her free challenges and asking her question after question before I dropped 10 pounds. In a month. I knew I need to share what I knew with everyone!

I do sell BeachBody products, including Shakeology, but I joined because it created so many opportunities for me. I am continually looking better, but even better than that, I have been able to help my friends and family achieve weight loss and exercise goals. I believe I will reach many women and create many needed connections between women with this fitness group. If you're interested in joining my team, or simply buying products, click the link below.

21 Day Fix Complete!

I don't know what happened to the entry, but I completed the 21 Day fix, and it was amazing. I was seriously shocked at the difference! I couldn't really tell a difference just by my own body, but that's the beauty of taking pictures! It was a great difference! I lost 4 pounds, 4 inches from my waist, and that pooch that never goes away DEFINITELY reduced. The day I finished, I was still 15-20 pounds heavier than I want to be, but I have never felt so good being that heavy!

My advice:

Take "before" pictures often! You won't realize you're losing inches based on what the scale says. I never realized the importance of this before this workout!

When you don't feel like doing a workout, DO YOUR WORKOUT! I've heard it takes 21 Days to make a habit, and only 3 days to break it. I was glad I had something to do every day because I knew it was only 30 mins. Even if you're doing another form of exercise, AT LEAST go out and walk for 30 mins. You'll thank yourself later.

Get accountability partners. It's easier to lose the weight when people are doing it with you.
