The Start of My Journey

First post, and to say I am nervous writing this is an understatement. Wanting to share my journey is scary, but it is also so freeing to be able to share about what has helped me transform my physical and mental health.

To start off, I want to be clear that what I have done has not been a quick fix. It has been a long, committed journey to find the things that work for me.

For at least the last 8 years, I have struggled with finding balance in my health and wellness. I struggled with working out too much and not working out enough. I never really knew what I was doing when it came to working out. I tried certain workout studios and personal trainers, and it got to the point that I was spending so much money on something I wasn’t ready to change. Also, I struggled desperately with my relationship with food. I thought that restricting my meals was the only true way to lose weight or feel better about myself. Along with that, I would binge eat constantly and then feel extremely guilty about it instantly. I tried all the fad diets and did everything I could to try and make something work.

It wasn’t until March of 2020 that I was really ready to take back control of my health. I had been receiving messages from my coach Macy for at least 8 months about joining beachbody and her accountability group. (I know I was stubborn and thought I was too good to be a part of something like that, but I also knew that I had tried things on my own and it wasn’t working for me.)

Let’s just say that joining that group was the best decision I had made in a long time. I have grown so much in my physical and mental health in the last 6-7 months. I have learned balance with my nutrition and I now have access to over 1,500 workouts provided by certified professional trainers at my fingertips. I now have no excuse not to better myself because it all easily accessible.

What is holding you back from your best life? Do you want to have my energy, be able to keep up with your kids, or just be mentally stronger? All of those things are possible! It’s all about lifestyle changes. You can still enjoy the things you love and still live the life you want!
