What's your "Why?"

So I am not good at selling things. I never thought I would find myself in any kind of sales or marketing business, ever.  I am however, good at sharing me. I was pregnant at 17, bought a house at 19 and married at just 20 years young. I had three kids by 23 and now, at 25 I have one more on the way. Make no mistake, I am a blessed girl. But it took a while for me to get here, to where I am standing and feeling right now. 

I have always struggled with weight, but in reality, I have always had a healthier weight. Then all of a sudden, I weighted over 230 lbs. Im not sure how I got there exactly or when it really started to happen.

I let a lot of things pull me down. Jealousy, anxiety, my ideal idea of what marriage was supposed to be like (you know, what we see on TV. I was trying to be me in at one age, but at many stages in my life - a teenager, a wife, a mom, a homeowner.. you get it. I lost my "me" -- and then I gained a whole lotta ME. 

For a long time, I never felt like I had a place to fit in. I never felt a place to belong or click with any group, outside church. Even in church, I had my friends but no ministry or program that I felt like I could really belong to and get in my groove. I was still trying to pick that identity and run with it.

Through Beachbody I found my own identity again. My massive me, became my "why." Weight loss hasn't been just about a physical thing; but a mental, emotional, and inspirational thing as well. Since I have been working out, I am told I look better and I seem happier. 

Feeling better in all areas of my life is my why. When I first started working out, I felt a little selfish. I was taking the kids to the gym and leaving them in the daycare. I was getting sitters to run outside and they didn't see me run my races. But now I see I am a better mom for it. I don't yell nearly as often as I did before. The urge to get angry at spilled milk now is laughing so my kids don't worry so much. THEY are happier - and when they see kids from the gym, they get all excited and point them out.

So what's your "why"? Why do you want to make changes? I want to help you get there! Being a Beachbody coach is more than just about me or money. I get so excited when I see other people's lives changing. So why not you? WHY not you start to make the changes to make your own identity or just get healthy. I guarantee weight loss will not just change your body but you life.

Let me tell you a little story....

Once upon a time there was this girl. Her name is Kayla. This is what she used to look like. 

Kayla HATED what this girl looked like! There was a skinny girl trapped in a fat girls body!

One day she looked in the mirror and she hated what she saw... the scale confirmed her sadness and started her drive to be better. Now, Kayla didn't really have self esteem issues, she just wanted three things.

1. To look good naked for her husband 

2. To lead a healthier lifestyle for her family 

3. To get back to her old self. The self that felt good, always.

It was a hard transition for her to make. Kayla's friends weren't on the band wagon with her fitness goals just yet. It was hard to run by herself, to workout by herself and to eat better.. by herself. But Kayla wasn't completely alone. She had her husband and a fitness coach to cheer her on.  

After a short 5 months, Kayla and John began to race together. Completing four 5k runs and a mud run.
Her proudest moment was when she finished the survival race, her first mud run!

Slowly but surely, this was the mindset Kayla took. John could encourage here, but couldn't make her do it. Cory could push her but she couldn't make her do it.  >>>>>>>

 
 It was slow moving but she began to see big changes! She isn't the fastest, she isn't the strongest, but she continues to race and improve.

Kayla's kids now talk about Shakeology, drinking water, and being healthy all the time. They prefer fruit over treats and enjoy being outside and running around! Her fit self started to turn into a fit FAMILY.

Sometimes Kayla didn't FEEL like doing the workout, but after she did she was so much happier!

 Some days she feels like this. And it took a lot to get her goals accomplished. Kayla even dealt with feelings of guilt for putting her needs first some days. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 And now with a baby on the way.. She is a little worried about her fitness goals. Will she regress? Will she snap back to the "new" Kayla?

 But she remembers that this is where she came from and where she ended -- so its not time to give up yet!

Here is the moral of the story! If a busy mama can do it, so can YOU!
