And, the results are in! What an amazing and wild ride it has been. I have met so many strong people that have totally lifted me up along the way. I dont know if I ever realized just HOW MUCH time and resources that I should have been putting into my health and fitness. I have been through dramatic financial crisis and the stress was literally killing me. I knew what I wanted to do but I wondered how on earth Id be able to make it all work. How would I invest the time for food prep and fitness? How would I find the resources for the support and accountability that I desperately needed? I found myself with a neurologist for migraines, a pain specialist for my existing appendectomy issues, an allergist, a GP who controlled my thyroid issue and they were just loading me up with scripts. Anyone who knows me KNOWS that this isnt me. I always considered myself a health nut with deep convictions in a plant based diet and a drug free lifestyle. I prayed for help, I kept praying for help. And, its funny how God works in his mysterious ways. I joined a Facebook group and met a Health Coach. Her ideas about food and fitness and self-love were HUGE! I saw what she was doing and she had such a dramatic transformation! She was gorgeous, successful and above all, she was happy. But, I was stuck. How could I hire her? Im a stay at home mom who is a seasonal professional. Its feast or famine in my household and during this moment of change in my life, we were slipping into the famine portion of seasonal work. So, I prayed. I will be honest. I was sick of watching others make enormous changes in their lives, in their success, in their health and I couldnt sit back and watch them make their dreams come true while I sat idly by. I had it! I made a huge sacrifice. Yes, it was a first world sacrifice but to me it was huge. I sold my iPhone. I listed it on eBay. Sold it the next day. Hired my health coach. Got in one of her private Facebook groups for accountability and support and lost a dashing 4 pounds the first week. My group lasted 21 days and I got more support then I could have ever dreamed. I lost a total of 20 pounds, my muscles are shredded from head to toe and I lost 12.52 inches on my body! Can I just tell you how INSANE that is? Nothing ever worked for me. I was a professional dieter. NOT. ANY. MORE! I eat more food then I ever have, I eat clean food, and I have the single-most-amazing dessert smoothie of my life. I will never be able to thank my health coach enough for changing the way I shop for food, for changing the nutrients I put into my families bodies now and for the success I have had in my own life. I am Happy! I no longer take naps when the baby naps! I no longer sit down mid-day wondering why I want to go to bed already. My energy is endless. I went on the jungle gym today with Isabella and I was able to kick my legs up and flip over. Its the best feeling to be fit. Its like being free and couldnt be happier with MY life!
