Fitness, Family and Fun: Feeling Inspired !

What an incredible week it has been. This week I am SO thankful!

Week after week, more and more I have been getting messages or emails or comments that have just got me excited, got me doing my little happy dance each and just feeling so lifted up that I've really landed in a great opportunity. Something I was once unsure about in the beginning.

Messages like:
"I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the Fix, thank you"

"If I didn't join this group I wouldn't have gotten this far"

"Another 2 pounds this week Jenn"

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for introducing me to this"

"My booty hurts" (we can all giggle at that one because we've all been there) "Not sure how I'm going to get through my workout tomorrow but I'm going to push through the best I can"

"I lost 10 pounds this round and so excited to start the next one"

"I want to be a coach and help others in this too, sign me up"

If I was able to just introduce ONE person with the opportunity to change their lifestyle or change the way they feel about themselves, it gives me CHILLS! Gets me excited! THEY did all the work, they pushed through tiredness, temptations, daily struggles and everything else that gets in the way in our day to day lives. THEY did it!!! All I did was introduce them to the tools to get them there. I can be a part of their journey. I can share their feelings of accomplishment and be so proud of them when they make small changes for the better. The excitement I have is for THEM!

When I started on the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology last summer, I was a bit of a sceptic. Right? Another weight loss thing.

Have you ever started to workout and not see any change for your efforts?

For me it was that struggle. I had been working out and working out but nothing changed with all the effort and time I was putting into it.

But as we all know, weight loss has two components to it. Exercise AND nutrition.

It was my eating

I had finally found something that had worked for me, and I wanted to tell the world.... and I pretty much did! LOL. (sorry to all my Facebook friends)

I wanted people to see that they don't have to give up on themselves to settle for feeling uncomfortable that I too had felt like for so LONG. They can achieve their goals too. I had struggled for so long to lose all the baby weight I had gained from having our beautiful three children. I too went through that struggle of nothing working, and FINALLY finding something that did! I wanted to share that with everyone because I wanted them to feel as great as I was feeling. That something DOES work and it's called eating and exercise! and SUPPORT, not just from me, but support from a challenge group that is made up of others doing a program as well, and seeing that everyone goes through ups and downs and we can cheer each other on in that. Similar to a Weight Watchers meeting I believe but it's there for you EVERYDAY! We are there for you every minute of the day.

If you are reading this and wanting a change, wanting to feel more comfortable, wanting to finally get those bigger clothes OUT of your closet for GOOD! I would LOVE to be a part of that process! I want to hear about your struggles and your victories and we are going to celebrate EVERY step of the way.

Ticket to Inspiration and Opportunity!

I want to share with you what Beach Body Super Saturday was all about. It is open for coaches and fellow challengers to come, listen to inspiring stories, hear what exciting news and products they have coming our way in the next quarter and then we all workout together. A big room full of coaches and people all in the same mind set of bettering themselves.

One of my guests noted that there were all sorts of coaches in the room. Some that have completed their journey, some that had just started and some in the middle.

Beach Body "Coaches" are not fitness models or nutrition experts, I mean there are some that fall into this category. But, mostly they are:

stay at home moms
doctors and nurses
teachers
office admins
managers

I have even met a coach that eventually left his job as a LAWYER.

They are just people like you that are proof that there IS something that works and we want to help you from what we learned along our journey and show you that you can do this too!

So as I sat in there in a room full of inspiring people yesterday and people going through their weight loss and lifestyle change, I felt so happy and excited to be a part of this amazing opportunity. An opportunity to help and be there for people, and receive messages like those above, how can that NOT make your day right?

So anyways I just want to thank those that have trusted me so far in this and took that leap into another "weight loss" tool. Thank you because you keep me going in this as well, and I'm so PROUD of them at how far they have come so far! Thank you for letting me be just a little part in that.
