Just 2 1/2 years ago, I was 238lbs!!!! Thats SO crazy! I have always fluctuated with my weight and directly out of high school I was 175lbs after always being a steady 140lbs. I gained weight from partying and drinking a lot, and I definitely NEVER had any idea about proper nutrition. I had lost that 35lbs by doing pool service for 5 years, surfing more and skateboarding. I still had no idea about proper nutrtion, I just stopped eating, really. I drank a gallon of water a day because of my job, energy drinks in the mornings, smoked cigarettes, and somehow managed being active. When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I was told by EVERY one oh just sit back and relax! Enjoy your pregnancy! ha! I enjoyed, alright.... The past 2 1/2 years have been a major struggle. Like, MAJOR struggle! Learning about nutrition, how certain foods affect the body in certain ways, eliminating A LOT of foods and drinks, getting active again, learning about the body, learning about MY body.... Whew!! I love it, though, you know why? Because knowledge is power! Knowing your body and knowing how to fuel it to perform the best its ever performed is a blessing and a constant uphill journey! At 175lbs, I feel stronger than Ive EVER felt! I significantly HAVE to thank THESE challenge/fitness support groups, the women who have helped me on my journey, and Beachbody for configuring how to help people right in their homes! These programs are epic, and Im a lifer! Theyve changed my life so significantly and have trained me more efficiently for my DEEPEST passion, surfing, than anything else I could have probably thought of, being a stay at home mom of two with, at one point, only one income! My husband and I, before beachbody, had a Planet Fitness Gym membership because it was only $10 a month. Guess what? WE HARDLY EVER WENT! We lacked the motivation to get into our vehicles, drive, fight traffic, and meander around the gym feeling judged. For us, it was a waste of money. For the SAME price as a years membership, We could get a program, join these groups, and press play everyday with 100% back-up and support on struggles that may arrive. Its not easy, but its worth it! When I come to you once a month to join me, its because you have mentioned wanting change on your Facebook page, or personally messaged me. I come to you because this truly changed my life in so many beautiful ways and all I care about is watching YOURS change too! Truly! To change for the healthier, you will Have to invest money into it somehow. Whether it be buying All Organic and a gym membership on top of that and finding a baby sitter to watch your kids to go to the gym/pay for a kid care at a gym in your gym fees, or just buying organic/cleaner foods, or one of these programs. You have to decide if your health and this precious life we have been given is WORTH the investment! So! From the bottom of my heart, I love you all! Youre all worth being the healthiest and happiest youve ever been, and if I could be the one to help you obtain that, it would deeply honor me!
