long post alert. okay so lets flash back to a little over a year ago. I was spending about two hours at the gym, five days a week. counting calories like a crazy person. making sure I had 100 calorie packs of snacks. lowfat ice cream. and a whole lot of potatoes cause theyre super healthy, right? it was working out okay for me. I lost about 10 pounds and decided to post up a progress picture. the first one EVER. I nearly peed my pants. it got a decent amount of likes and brought me out of my shell a little bit. then I got a message from a girl that I went to high school with. we werent even friends, so I was super shocked to hear from her. she told me how impressed she was with my progress and then asked if I wanted to try out a Beachbody program and shakeology. obviously NOT. the gym and counting calories was the only logical thing to do and it was working, so why would I stop? fast forward a month and I hit a plateau. already. really? after like 5 months of going at it. so I messaged this girl back and decided to go all in. I bought Insanity and Shakeology and figured if I was going to do it, I was going to do it right. Insanity was, well, it was insane. my results in only 2 weeks were more than I had seen at the gym in those 5 months. and Shakeology. well. whatever crack in that had me buzzing around like a bee and reduced my cravings by a ton. even when I was on vacation in OBX. once I got home from that vacation something happened to me that basically changed my life. a lot of people know this about me, but I have an intense phobia of vomit. someone elses, my own, an animal, anyone. well. I got sick at work. later to find out (like an entire year later) that Im allergic to almond milk. but on that day the only thing in my system was Shakeology and I was convinced that I was allergic to this amazing super food fairy dust. SHOCKER Im actually not. in the mean time I decided to buy Focus T25 and complete that (twice now). but I needed something else. why? because I was struggling so badly with anxiety that there were days that I wouldnt even eat because I was afraid I would throw up from it. over New Years I literally had to nurse myself back to health because I had gone 48 hours with a half a slice of pizza and a piece of chicken. I almost passed out and had to call out of work for an extra day just to pull myself together. word cant even describe how I felt about myself that day. hopeless, almost. and then like a little miracle that same stranger from high school pops up again. she asked me to join her test group for some program called the 21 Day Fix. literally life changing. I started to eat again. I knew what to eat and how much of it. there was no margin for error. and 4 months later here I am, still using my containers. it took me 9 months to try Shakeology again. but I havent skipped a day in over 3 months now. and I feel INCREDIBLE. that random girl with no shame has become one of my closest friends. Jacqueline saved my life. and I want to save others. join me on this journey. let me work one on one with you to change your outlook on food, exercise, and most importantly -- YOURSELF. that is why, after all, I became a Team Beachbody Coach.
