THE PERSON I AM TODAY
I was always picked on when I was a little girl. I had either big hair or I was over weight. My self esteem when I was entering High School wasn't the best. I weighted 191 lbs and I didn't like my life very much. I was even once called into the counselor office because I wrote a alarm calling letter.
But I decided that I can't live like this, I need to change. And really it started in tenth grade when my P.E. teacher taught Aerobics and also made us run on the track. I HATED RUNNING.....but she was a very encouraging teacher. She would push us. Not in a bad way, but how a coach would.
I started to drop my weight, I was still eating bad, but my P.E. Teacher would tell us to NOT STOP, KEEP GOING...
And I was sooo Proud of my self that I actually completed a mile without stopping. I ran/jog the whole mile. It took me 13 minutes or more, but I never stopped. That's when it clicked on me. I need to push myself to loose this weight.
It became a obsession though. I started loosing weight and I started to run everyday twice a day. It got really bad that I had to weight myself everyday and I portioned controlled to the MAX. I got down to 110 lbs. I was Bulimic!!! I started to eat and I had to find a way to burn it off. Bulimic doesn't necessary mean you purge your food out, it can mean that you exercise to extremely trying to burn off the calories of the food you just binged.
Then I had a wake up call. One day training for JROTC Summer Camp. When I fainted and I was feeling really cold in 98 degree weather. I started to eat some what normal and exercise some what normal. I went up to 130 lbs. That's a normal weight for a 5'5 girl Right?
I was still not happy with myself. I had too much self esteem damaged.
Is when I hit the lat 20s that I started to feel comfortable with myself. After I had two beautiful children. My son Eddie, he loves to talk, he is a character and he is only six years old.
My daughter is two. She is my baby girl. She loves to sing and she makes me smile all the time. Both of my kids are the reason why I am the person I am today. I decided I needed to learn to eat healthier, work out better for I can be there for them more and they can learn a healthier life style.
I was offered to be a Beach Body coach by one of my good friend. And you know what, I turned her down. At that time I was thinking I don't have the money for that and it's a waste of my time. Oh Boy was I wrong. After couple years I watched other coaches and saw what a great impact gave them to their lives. And I wanted that. I want Freedom to be there for my kids. My job does not permit it, because I have to work every weekend and sometimes leave work when my children are a sleep. I decided that since I love to exercise and I like to brag about my progress that I should give it a try. And you know what, I LOVE IT.
Who wouldn't? I love to transform my life. Get a better and fitter body. I also got a great Team of Coaches that we connect so well. I love to help others also with their health and share tips. Encourage them just like my coach in tenth grade of high school. Believe that we can do it together. Eat healthier, drink a amazing shake called Shakeology that is a Super food shake full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidant, and so much more. A shake proven to HELP in losing weight, lower cholesterol, and reduce blood sugar levels. It's the healthiest meal of my day.
