Somebody save me! I can't stop being awesome! 😹🙀😸
This June my own health and wellness Coach, Lindsay Matway, hosted an accountability group just for coaches. Yes, folks, believe it or not us coaches need motivation and support of our own. Prior to engaging in this new group with her and my fellow coaches, I'd been facing my own personal challenges.
Go on a journey with me, will ya? 🎢 🌋 🌅 🏖
Last summer I completed 3 rounds of 21 Day Fix and consequently signed up as Coach. In September 2015 I was given notice that I would be laid off and on Oct. 1st I was unemployed and so was my husband who had just got out of the Marines. So, there we were an unemployed couple dealing with a difficulty that would have probably broken two people apart. Yet, some how we managed to stay on our feet, stay in love, stay in harmony, and stay positive. Things turned around for us in January when I got a job and hubby went back to school full time. We were back on track. Did I mention through out this time I was still working my coaching business and workout out daily (21 Day Fix and Master Hammer and Chisel). Then, as all rollercoasters go, I experienced another low. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in late March. I had the symptoms for years, but I think it finally did me in when I began gaining weight out of control for no apparent reason and therefore ruining all my hard work. The harder I fought to transform my body the harder my body was fighting me back. The months after the diagnosis were experimenting with drugs and dosages to get my tsh levels normal. Just when we thought we had it, we didn't have it. lol I also finished 22 Minute Hard Corps from beginning to end during this time and I barely made a dent on my body image, thanks to my hypothyroidism.
Now, this is enough to get an ordinary person to QUIT. Many times I contemplated giving up on myself, but my body needed me now more than ever. My livelihood depended on my effort to fight for me. As much as I'd love a bangin' body I had to learn to do this for my health. So, I worked and I worked and I worked through the struggles even if my body wasn't changing. I needed my me time to stay in peace amidst the chaos of life.
By the time I joined this group I needed the positive environment and I needed someone else to motivate me because motivating myself was such a task at times.
Then one week into this accountability group with my own coach I was diagnosed with SHINGLES! Give me a FREAKING BREAK !!! GEEZUS !! It was caught in the early early stages, so I didn't have the break outs or the hives, but I had the pain, the extra fatigue, the insomnia. I was out of it for about 3 days. Thank God the medication worked beautifully and I was back on it.
Three weeks in we took a road trip back home and I indulged in local foods like street tacos 🌮, tostaditas, raspas, carne guisada, CAKE, Whiskey, and my sister in laws delicious breakfast 😳😳😳 lol Hey, the flesh is weak. Then 5 weeks in I took a trip to Nashville for the Beachbody Coach Summit. My first one ever! I had a blast! Even though I worked out there and walked a lot, my nutrition was subpar. I hit up the bbq, ice cream, and hot chicken while I was there.

I was being my least favorite type of challenger...because I've had some folks like me in my own challenge groups lol Today it was time to face the music and I gotta say I'm not upset. I'm actually quite happy about my results.
This photos is last year before my first ever round of 21 Day Fix in June 2016 fast forward through all that happened in between and the after is after 2 rounds of 21 Day Fix Extreme. I feel healthy, happy, comfortable, confident and STRONG ! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
No one is ever going to turn me down because I lack commitment or because I'm not a product of my product. Nope. I work dang hard on myself and I give of myself selflessly to my clients without regard of what is happening in my own life. I believe in others who still don't believe in themselves because I know what its like to be completely alone in this journey. I was alone for so long until I found my beachbody family.
If you have read this far, THANK YOU! You're the real MVP.
If you didn't, well...you aren't going to read that you just won a brand new car...send me an email with your address so I can ship it to ya!! lmao
Anyway, without further ado
