My story does not start with me saying, "I've always been an active athletic person who just let life get the best of me and soon became unhappy with my body and self image..." Nope! Because that is not who I am; I am the girl that never liked sports in School, loathed PE and thought that working out was only for those who were already physically fit...sounds silly right? But that's who I was. I didn't like to work out but let me tell you I could diet like no other! I've tried everything from Atkins to Nutrisystem, sometimes it would work but most of the time it just wouldn't stick!
Now I love food! I've always loved to cook since I was little and knew I wanted to be a Chef! After some hurdles I finally attended and graduated from The French Culinary Institute. I enjoy food but I also enjoy being healthy and food was the major impact on my health...and my weight! So I learned to take all of my favorite "Bad For You" dishes and turn them into healthy ones. This is what I wish to do for others.
Being a BeachBody Coach is something that I believe would not only motivate others but also motivate myself completely. I know I'm not close to being in the best shape of my life but I am known for helping people, I've always been that friend that everyone always comes to for advice and this would be a better version of that. I do have to admit that working out is not my strongest suit, however I am working on that and have been pushing myself. So far, I have been able to stick with it and not only with Insanity and Shakeology but planning "Friend Time" around things like Hiking and Bike riding instead of eating appetizers and sitting around just hanging out. Helping people is my passion and this is a wonderful way for me to do that. My hope is that I will not only be able to continue my journey of fitness but also inspire others as others have inspired me. My coach has kept me honest and has made me accountable for the days I do and do not work out. This has helped me stick to my workout plan and when I look at the progress I have made I know that not only am I excited but I also have someone else who will be just as proud and excited.
So, wouldn't it be incredibly amazing if I could help others with something I have struggled horribly with my entire life? If you can relate to my story or just really want a friend you can come to for advice & support, let me be that friend! =)
