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!
