I am a mom and a kindergarten teacher on a mission to help people get healthy. Want to learn to eat Hello! Welcome to my page! Let me tell you my story.
I am a wife, mom of 2 boys, and a kindergarten teacher. Like most working moms, I took care of everybody except myself. I have always been concerned about nutrition, but when I had my boys all of that concern went to them. I spent all of my time, effort, and money making sure that they had the best, organic food, but didn't pay attention to what I was feeding myself. My health was starting to suff
er and I didn't like what I saw when I looked in the mirror. Something had to change, but I was lost as to what I could do. My husband has a very chaotic schedule, so the gym was not an option for me. I was always one of those people who wandered the gym aimlessly trying to figure out what to do, so it wasn't like I wanted to go to the gym anyway. A personal trainer was completely out of the question for me, as I would never spend that kind of money on myself. I tried going for walks and yoga classes, but nothing really stuck. I was trapped in the endless cycle of try, give up, feel guilty, repeat. Then all of that changed. I decided out of desperation to try Focus T25. My husband purchased it. I actually made fun of him and told him it was a scam. At home fitness programs couldn't work! I'm not sure why I did it, but I decided to join a challenge group and give the program a try. It was working! I was losing weight and most of all I felt better! However, things changed for me in a heartbeat.
3 weeks into the program I woke up in the middle of the night with pain in my shoulder, back, and arm that was worse than child birth. It was horrifying. After many doctors and agonizing, sleepless nights, I ended up at a neurosurgeon who informed me that I had three herniated discs in my neck. We still don't know the cause of the injury, but the doctor speculates that it must have been a trauma I had experience before that shifted. Never the less, the injury was so bad that it was literally pinching a nerve that ran down my arm. It was killing the nerve and I was heading towards paralysis in my left arm. I had to have surgery to replace the bad discs. I had so many fearful thoughts going through my head. One of those fears was that I had missed my opportunity to be healthy. You never really appreciate things until they are taken away. The fact that I may not be able to move normally, much less exercise again, was depressing for me. That is why I promised myself that if this surgery was a success, I would take care of myself and never look back. The surgery was a success, but the recovery was very slow. I was put on a liquid diet since the incision was in my throat. I chose Shakeology over the standard juice and popsicle recommendations. Then while I continued to recover, I followed the 21 Day Fix eating guide. When I was given clearance for moderate lower body activity, I started a modified version of Brazil Butt Lift. My body started changing drastically. I lost six dress sizes and started feeling a confidence that I had never felt before. Despite all of my obstacles, I was finally able to take control of my health. It was 6 months before I was given clearance to resume regular activity. However, my body was still not fully recovered. My nerve had to regrow itself and my muscles in my left arm were extremely weak. That is when I started PiYo. To this day I say that PiYo is my soul mate program. That program literally rebuilt my arms. After completing PiYo I was actually stronger that I had ever been before. I fell in love with the way I felt and decided that it was time to show my thanks to God by helping other people. I became a Team Beachbody coach and also got certified in PiYo Live so that I can help people feel the way that I feel now. If it hadn't been for my own Beachbody coach, I'm not sure what would have happened to me after my injury. I don't know where I would be today without all of the support I received from my Beachbody community and the programs that rebuilt my broken body. It's time for me to pay it forward and to help all of those people out there who are feeling the way that I once felt find their healthy solution. There is a way to juggle work, kids, and life and still find a way to take care of yourself. We have to appreciate our bodies and take care of them so that we can life our best beautiful life. I can help you. I want to help you. Message me today and let's get started on your journey.
