So naturally I quit exercising daily and then I moved across the country and found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child, although I tried Not to put on a lot of weight I gained around 38lbs and I was already 10lbs over where I wanted to be. So after my youngest was born I found my Back and Knee problems even worse as Now I had the extra 30+lbs on me.
My sister approached me about a fun Online Challenge Group that she was starting up with some friends, so I decided to join her and I found an online Yoga YouTube channel that I really enjoyed doing. But other than that, I couldn't even jog a mile due to the aches in my knees. So over 8 months I participated in these 6-8 week groups with her and did lose a few lbs and inches and was grateful for the health path they led me too. After joining her for several groups I began swimming at the the local YMCA, and after 3 months of that I developed serious Carpal tunnel pain, on top of the back pain and knee pain. I Felt Broken and UnFixable, BUT I wanted MORE, I knew there was More for me, for my Body, for my Health and I knew that I just had to FIND IT. I prayed diligently for a way to get Fit and Free of this pain and asked to be guided to that answer.
I started utilizing essential oils and saw and felt a difference, so I decided this must be the answer and decided to form a business with two of my friends and went gung-ho on that and poured hours upon hours into starting a business from the ground up! I focused all my energy on getting it, a website up, advertising, creating products, etc...
It was right in the thick of that when my friend reached out to me and shared with me information on Beachbody and what it could offer me, for my Health and as a business. I just couldn't focus on it enough to give it a second thought at that time. Although it intrigued me a lot.
After 4 months and getting the business underway I reached out to my friend and began asking more questions, as I was still desperate for Healing and Full relief from my knee pain, carpal tunnel, and back issues. I liked the answers she shared with me and Felt like "I have tried just about everything to get Fit/healthy and heal from all this pain, and it hasn't Fixed me yet, So Why Not give this a go. If it works, Great! If Not, no loss. I'll be where I am now." So I JUMPED and purchased a combo pack of Shakeology and a Pilates/Yoga Program called PiYo.
Now I wish I could say it was cake walk from there on out, BUT it wasn't. It was a slow process that took many little steps forward and a few big steps backward. However over time my body slowly started to heal and the Shakeology allowed my body to get vitamins, minerals, and other nutrition that is was lacking. It helped me to cut my sugars and junk food WAY back and over the next 5 months my body got stronger and was able to accomplish exercises that I had not previously been able to do for many many years.
Today 18 months later I am so Thankful for the Healing and Support that being a part of Beachbody and Support Groups has offered me. I am Now a Beachbody Coach myself and love offering/inviting others to learn about Beachbody and what it could offer them as they begin their health journeys.
Today I was honestly Beaming with Appreciation as I completed my work out and I wanted to let you KNOW:
"Just because you may be in pain, or sick or have other health issues DOES NOT mean that you will never be healthy or Fit again. It simply means that you need to find the tools for YOU to get back at taking baby steps if necessary to get results."
Are you Feeling at a LOSS and not sure how or what to do??? I remember being at that point too!
Lets talk, and figure out if the tools I can offer through Beachbody and Me as your Coach are what you need to Get Results.
