My story:

3 years ago, I was a brand new teacher who was too worn out to fix my hair or my lunch in the morning. After losing 15 pounds for my wedding on a crash diet, I quickly gained 20 cooking and celebrating with my new husband. My health, my job, and my marriage were all suffering because I was always too tired and too unhealthy to do anything or go anywhere.

In July of 2014, I found an amazing opportunity for people just like me to live a different, better life. Through the help my coach, Steve Donnelly, and Beachbody products, I have lost, and kept off, 23 pounds to date.

But it was so much more to me than losing weight, that tired, sluggish feeling went away. I went from being sick and dragged down to being a healthy and upbeat teacher who could keep up with her students. My husband got his active wife back. I didn't have to give up anything to be this way; this way of life GIVES ME what I need to succeed in life.

In September, Steve motivated me to become a coach myself so that I could share my own story with others and help them get back on track to where they want to be in life - people helping people. This blog serves part of that purpose. If I can reach out and help just ONE individual through sharing my story, my meal plans, my struggles, my success, than I will know that it was all worth it.

This journey has been an amazing one, and I can't wait to see what else is in store :)

Who am I:

I am a wife, teacher, nerd, fashion freak, who loves to read and drink wine. My husband and I live in the swamps of South Louisiana, closest to the things we love the most: family, God, and country.
