I'm a busy mom, Health Care professional, home business owner, and fitness nut. Exercise and being healthy are my passions. I do however, have the same struggles as anyone else. I get tired, lazy, busy, and food is my weakness. But I've learned that being healthy and fit is about setting small goals and being consistent. I take it day by day, meal by meal, workout by workout. One of the biggest factors in my success has been finding a support and accountability system. Surrounding myself with others that have similar goals has helped me tremendously with staying on track. I've lost over 20 lbs in the past year and I couldn't have done it without the encouragement of those close to me! I work in Healthcare Finance, I have 2 undergrad degrees, a certificate in Healthcare Management, and an MBA. You'd think I'd be set right? Over the past few years I've realized that I chose this path because it was the logical thing to do. It's what I thought I was supposed to do. But what I do doesn't inspire any passion in me. What kind of a life is one lived without passion? On top of that, the 9-5 job really doesn't cut it financially in this day and age. Jobs are not guaranteed, the economy is unstable, and you work 40+ hours a week for a minimal raise each year, if you're lucky! This year I found something that not only inspires and ignites a passion in me every day, but is allowing me more financial freedom as well. I started my own online fitness business as a Beachbody Coach. Beachbody products are what have changed my body, and now this company is changing my life. I've completed ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, Insanity, and now I'm doing TurboFire. These products are amazing, and I get to help others change their bodies and their futures as well. Being a coach allows me to share my passion for fitness, and give others the support and motivation that helped me so much. I'm paying it forward and have BIG aspirations for 2011!
