Before

Alrighty blogger world, I recently became a Beachbody coach!

I know what you're thinking... "A Beachbody coach? Those guys are annoying! All they want you to do is buy their stuff and workout all day everyday."

An image of a ripped sweaty half naked man and woman that looks like a man eating raw beef with one hand an lifting a dumbbell the size of your head in the other used to come to mind when I heard someone was a Beachbody coach.

But over the past couple of years I've been researching it trying to decide if it was something that I wanted to do. Turns out, it is! I'll admit, I was skeptical at first but so far things are going good! I was worried that people would see me as one of those mindless meat heads, or a pushy salesman. I am hear to say that I am neither!

First off, yes, I do want to build my team and my clients, but ONLY because I wholeheartedly believe in the programs that Beachbody produces! I want to HELP people! Whether it be with their health and fitness goals, or their financial situation.

Being a personal trainer was one of my favorite jobs aside from the selling that I had to do. I hated being that pushy buy! buy! buy! person... I believed in myself and my ability to help people reach their goals, but I was working for a well know gym that didn't seem to mind upping the price of personal training every month or so. Eventually it got to the point where I would be trying to sell to someone who could barely afford their gym membership! I hated being under the foot of a corporation, so I quit. It was a hard decision. I LOVED my clients, and I LOVED watching them reach their goals, but I couldn't work for a soul sucking company.

About a month ago, I had my first baby. I'll admit that I didn't work out as much as I should have, and didn't eat super healthy while I was pregnant. My first trimester was nausea land, and my second and third trimesters were force-myself-to-eat-playland. In hind site, I wish I would have forced myself to workout more and eat healthier. I'm not saying I was a total slob and did absolutely nothing. I just didn't do as much as I could have. I didn't gain that much extra weight either, but I lost A LOT of muscle tone. It makes me want to cry because of how much I lost. I was beefin up and lookin good.

I want to get back to that place! SOOOOO.....

Here I am internet! All 154 pounds of me. (I was 156.6 when I took the pictures)

Pardon my dirty bathroom....

I am on my journey to getting back into shape. My goal weight is 135. That's 19 lbs. TOTALLY doable! 

I hope that posting my 'Before' pictures will help keep me accountable and motivate me to push through those hard day when I want to stuff my face with cupcakes and french fries. 

Want to join me in reaching your goals? I would LOVE to hear from you! I have challenge groups going every month that are full of people who are all working towards a personal goal and keeping themselves accountable! Message me for details, or just to chat! :)
