where do I start? I guess I am like any other person in this wide huge world of unique or boring people. Everyone has a story. Perhaps I should start at the beginning?
On April 7 a child was born. A gorgeous well loved baby....ok maybe not that far back. Lets fast forward 18 years or so? Up till I was about 21 before I had children I had a small physic. Everything came pretty easily. I could eat anything I wanted and like magic it disappeared and never showed on my body. I was thin. Everything changed when I had my first child. Who knew that when you ate everything you craved when you were pregnant that the baby didn't magically take it all in....not like I had thought. Boy was it a surprise when I saw my stomach and my new body after my first birth. Staring and was thinking so how many days till this disappears and I go back to normal? I had a rude awakening.
Because I never had to deal with keeping an eye on my weight, I didn't have the experience of how to eat healthy. I was an active young adult until I felt like carrying all this new weight I was carrying around felt like I was dragging the whole world with me. For years off and on I tried loosing weight tried to get fit so that I could get back to the things I once enjoyed.
I loved walking, hiking, wall climbing, roller bladding, skating, dancing, and challenging myself with new adventures or discovering new things I could do with my body like handstands, cartwheels (my favorite) To go along with all that I had a spunky, strange, fun personality to go with it all. It wasn't until I felt like I lost myself that that person slowly got pushed down and berried with low self esteem and self-conscious.
Now forward till now? Late last year in November after my Migraines were under control or at least more under control than they were. I was for months getting three to four migraines a week!! Can you imagine? I felt like my life had lost its meaning because I was just suffering and sleeping for most of it. If you have migraines my sympathies are with you. If you don't then there is no way you can imagine how I felt.
Anyway, I dove right into beachbody and their workout programs. The support of others struggling or fighting to gain their life back like me was unbelievable! That day the first of November I committed to the programs and became a coach.
I am starting this blog as a person who is changing her life. I am changing my life. Every day is one step closer to a fitter and healthier life. I have started a program called T25. It really pushed my cardio but it didn't beat me. I was pouring in so much sweat my glasses kept sliding down..hahaha.
Well that ends today. I am not writing here for others but for me. But should anyone else read this than I hope my blogs also encourage you take charge of your life. You only have one body and are only given one life. I don't know about you but I am done feeling like a robot on autopilot. I want to LIVE!
