I have always been against any kind of weight loss shake or supplements because it was deemed as "weight loss" and I have bad memories of family members trying all kinds of programs or shakes to lose weight and feel better. Hence, my hesitancy to ever becoming involved in a fitness program including a shake. I've steared clear all these years and knew my motives would not have been healthy if I did it. I would have abused it and taken it to either a strict level or I would have "failed" in my eyes and been worse off. It has been a year as I have witnessed the growth of my friend Rachel and her pursuit as a Beachbody coach. For the record I'm still allergic to the "beachbody" words because I do not feel that I am in this to have a "beach model body". I do not believe that is realistic nor will I place myself in a position to go extreme as I've wanted in the past.
My inner self and heart has changed over the years and I simply desire to be the healthiest I can be for myself, as a daughter of God and who He desires for me to become and for my family. I want to be the wife who can do the activities with her husband, the mom who can chase her boys and give them "competition" as they get older and the friend who can walk alongside and show love and empathy. I am my best self when I am physically sweating every day and I am my best mental self when I have exerted myself and pushed my limits. I am kinder, listen longer, think deeper and give love more. I want that for this world. I want for others to also desire this. We are all made for such much more!! Thus, I signed up to be a coach with this fitness system called Beachbody and primarily I am here to help others...here to reach places I never thought I might reach and to work on nutrition because my Lord knows I have struggled with the sugar/carb cycle for a lot of years. I'm ALL IN for what God's desire for my life and I want to help.
