I decided to do a little different throw back Thursday. I decided to share a part of my life that I have for so long wanted to forget about...... Many of you may or may not know that 7 years ago I was in a really dark place. I felt like I was failing at all aspects of my life...failing as a Christian, Wife, Mother, I somehow lost my way. I was depressed riddled with anxiety and daily panic att...acks. I literally felt like I just wanted to give up.
I reached a point in my life where I said NO MORE. I know the reason most people get into health and fitness is for a BODY transformation, to lose weight, to drop a pant size BUT I GOT INTO IT to lose a different TYPE of "weight". The weight of anxiety sitting on my chest day in and day out, the weight of wasting DAYS, WEEKS of my life just worrying about what was going to happen next. My journey has been long and hard but it well worth it!! I HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I am thankful every single day that I made the decision to take control.
Now lets fast forward to January 2015....The day I decided to join my very first Beachbody challenge group and not a single moment goes by that I don't thank the LORD I did. The group I joined was called The Passion Project and that's how I met my AMAZING COACH!!! Along with some of the MOST AMAZING WOMEN I have ever met!!! This group CHANGED MY LIFE. Not in a traditional way you might think BUT in a spiritual and internal way. The encouragement, love and support that was brought to this group blew me away!! I only wished I had this 7 years ago when I was so lost as a person!! BUT I needed this to reignite the passion I have to help others. In this group I got to know each one them and relate to them on a level I never imagined. This group will forever be near and dear to my heart!! This is also the reason I decided to become a Beachbody coach...its so much more than just promoting healthy eating and exercise. As I sit here and think back to the girl I once was and who I am now and what I have been able to overcome that is my WHY in life. I want to help other people. Most of all I want to be the BEST VERSION of myself for my children. We all have the ability to change to be the best version of ourselves and truthfully it's well worth it!
