I started for I was tired of being FAT, I was tired of WHO I saw in the Mirror, I was tired of telling my adults kids that I CANNOT do your 3K, 5K what ever events they wanted me to do with them. Our Granddaughter came into our lives and I knew I wanted to keep up with her. I wanted to do the fun things that currently if I didn't start taking care of ME I was going to be the sit on the couch Grandma and be no fun. I was tired of taking my High Blood Pressure meds. I was working in the Health Care Industry currently in Cardiology seeing these people of all ages come in with these BAGS of medications to which was probably keeping them alive. I was tired of being tired and telling my family and husband that I was just to tired.
I was tired of looking at pictures of myself saying WOW you are a large woman, thinking at times I was kinda cute with the face shots but then you got the FULL figure woman in the picture and WOW. I was currently a size 18 and heading heavily on my way to a 20. Not liking that thought at all I thought to myself. There is NO WAY in hell I am buying a size 20 pants and creeping to a 2XL shirt size, I was finished. Up late one night watching infomercials my husband purchased me P90X. Then as I would surf though Pinterest and see weight loss stories saving each one for it inspired me. Then I came across Shannon McArthur he story caught my eye. I searched her out and asked her HOW she did this. We began talking and talking and talking LOL We talk almost every day now. I became a beachbody coach for the discount of my Shakeology. I got my first bag, thought this better be good for the cost is crazy to much. So I took my first 30 days of Shakeoloy and at the end I sent back my empty bag and decided it was not for me that it was way to expensive for me to afford. After it was gone I really missed it and realized that when I was taking it I felt better, healthy, my inflammation was gone and I didn't have constipation issues. So I did some research online and dug into it to see why it cost so much and thought I bet I could get this at GNC or someplace local not as spendy. So I printed off the Ingredients offline and went to GNC and a local place to see if I could replace the healthy benefits of Shakeology cheaper. Well you definitely get what you pay for. They were like WOW not sure if I can but lets see what we can do, well a box of this and a bag of that and oh a little of this here you go that should be close she stated. Well that was $120 and like 5 different things to mix together. In addition to all the additives and crap they had that I was not getting with my WHOLE FOOD Shakeology. So then I went to the other place and he said well now lets see. With this and that and a little of this and wow I cant really get you that without this. Again preservatives and crap I was trying to keep OUT of my body again. So for the $120 for Shakeology minus the crap equals $4 a day and I came to the conclusion I would just add this to my budget. Then I learned I could get it for $85 if I signed to be a Coach. Well along the way I met so many Amazing people with amazing stories and with so much Passion for what they did the passion to built in myself.
I have had many jobs as most of you know if you know me. I got into the Medical Field for I do have passion in me. I love people I love helping people and I would do almost anything for anyone. I want to better lives, I want to make a difference and I just could not find that in the Medical field. It was stress, drama and bullshit to tell you the truth and it was not what I had pictured. So getting back to the Beachbody Family I have to did many of the MLM Businesses as you that know me know. But this was different, it was not about you do this to make me money, You have to sell this much this month or be inactive. You have to do this or that or call after call and email after email pushing me to SELL SELL SELL (MaryKay) to let you drive the Pink car. NO this was different, it was truly about helping me helping others fight the Obesity Trend. People I have never met, people who I didn't even know reaching out to me to help me be successful in my weight loss, my health, my better quality of life. Then I to as I started losing weight and people started following me asking me how I was doing it how could they to be successful. The passion starting building in me that I could make a difference. That I could show people that the IMPOSSIBLE was POSSIBLE. What held me back was laziness, I didn't want to do the work. Well take the IM out of POSSIBLE and know that YOU to are worth the Journey.
Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE, as I say and has become my saying " If YOU can Dream it, YOU can Live it!!" What is your "WHY" whats holding you back? Do you have a Husband, Wife, Children? Don't they deserve a Better you, a better chance at life. Full memories that are worth keeping in that memory bank? There is so much LIFE to LIVE and if you DO NOT do it. What was it worth? Get up off the couch, walk a little every day. Go to the Grocery store and stay OUT of the inner isles. I to an help you, just ask me. I feel so much better, I look better, no more meds for me. I have met people that have got OFF their diabetic meds, high blood pressure, migraine sleep issues, cholesterol digestive issues. A guy that had to weigh himself at his local scrap yard for he was over 400 lbs and his scale would not weigh him at home. I have seen success story after success story.
NO losing weight is not easy, at times it sucks hard. I pleated for four months at the same weight as I worked my ASS off and just wanted the scale to move. Then it moved pound by pound, the inches are coming off inch by inch. Its not fast its a process. Those FAD diets that you lose weight FAST BAM and you look HOT for a minute. That weight will come back cause you did it the wrong way, those fast do it now take a pill and be bikini ready diets are a HOAX you have to work for it if its worth the trip. Its a Lifestyle Change and its forever, not just a month or so. Its FOREVER and YOU my friend as I are worth every tear cried every cus word said during workout. But it is OBTAINABLE I PROMISE.
Join me now and we can do this together instead of waiting til I am done and said I could of been there to. I love you and we are a TEAM I can help you to a better you. If I can do this YOU can do this to. Its Hard at times but I wouldn't change it for nothing.
