About Me

I am a 24 year old mother to two gorgeous boys, Cash (Age 5) And Jaxson (2 Months). I began my fitness journey when i was pregnant with my second son. Before implementing exercise and proper nutrition into my life, I was extremely depressed and battled anxiety every single day. I was looking for something that would ultimately allow me to be a better Mom, Spouse and friend as my current lifestyle choices were really taking a toll on all of the above. Gym memberships were out of the question as i had no job and we were solely living off of my spouses $16/hour construction job. 

I had started to reconnect with an old friend of mine. We had been best friends in our high school days but had drifted apart due to difference in life paths. I noticed that she was getting these remarkable results with her own fitness journey and i couldn't help but WISH that i could have the same results. She looked HAPPY and CONFIDENT. Which i was lacking in my own life.  We started chatting about how it has changed her life and how she had challenge groups starting each month. She invited me to join her in the next one she was hosting. I immediately thought that this would not work... (Self destruction was the norm for me at this point, I honestly believed that NOTHING would give me back my life) But i decided to jump in and join her in this "Challenge group" Thing that she talked with such passion about. 

Because i was 4 months pregnant at the time i decided to go with PIYO (A combination between yoga and pilates that is low impact but high intensity) I hoped that by starting this i would be able to not only have a healthy pregnancy but also be able to bounce back after Jaxson was born. I went with a challenge pack which was the best deal as it combined exercise with nutrition (Shakeology). I was broke as a joke but i was so desperate to fight my depression and anxiety that i ended up selling some things i had around the house to help with the cost. My life after all was worth it. I signed up as a discount coach so i could get the 24% discount because like i said.. BROKE AS A JOKE.  Any little bit helped. And i started my new found journey. 

Right after is signed up i remember writing in my journal voicing my frustration and praying to god that this would be the end of my loosing streak with my anxiety and that i would finally be able to be happy in my skin again. I received my challenge pack within a week and a half and jumped right in! It was completely overwhelming at first, But with the help from my coach and friend i was able to fight the part of me that was already wanting to quit. I started eating healthier. I did an overhaul on my kitchen and spoke with my spouse and asked him to support me through this journey. If not for me ... for my kids. They deserved SO much more than what i was able to give them at that time emotionally and physically. He agreed and we started the journey together.  I started getting my energy pack which made me excited to start my day rather than fight the urge to stay in bed and hide from the world. This journey slowly started to build and build until i realized i was no longer the person who was hesitant to start in the first place. I was getting my CONFIDENCE back! I was happier and my anxiety had been easier to manage. I was using shakeology EVERY DAY (This coming from a total shake skeptic, and was only drinking the shake because i had spent the money on it) BUT i noticed such immense differences in my body and energy levels that i decided to continue using it! I 100% believe that shakeology has 50% to do with helping me battle my depression. My body was being fuelled PROPERLY after all! 

Now i get up at 5:00am and eat 6 small meals a day with shakeology being one of them. I feel the best that i have ever felt in my entire life. I had my son Jaxson on December 5th 2016. With my first son i ate horribly and was never consistent with exercise. Five months after i had my first son, Cash in 2016. I weighed more than i had ever weight at a whopping 170 pounds, Being a 5'4 tall woman this weight was hard on my body. After having my 2nd son Jaxson, 2 months after i was back to my pre pregnancy weight and was even STRONGER than i had ever been. Its an amazing feeling looking in the mirror and loving the person you have are, The person you thought you would never be again. 

Over the last 6 months i decided that it would be selfish of myself to not share what has ultimately given me my confidence and happiness back. I struggled so immensely from self hate, And have been in some very low points in my life. To be able to come out of those low points and feeling empowered has been more than i could ever imagine. I feel it is my destiny to help other woman regain the life back. This is more than just getting in shape. This is fighting that little voice that tells so many woman that they are not worthy of a healthy happy lifestyle. 

If you feel like you can relate to any parts of my story, Or are thinking right now that you could never pull this off... I WANT no ... I NEED to hear from you. Stop letting that voice win. After all, YOU are much STRONGER than that. 

From a woman who once thought that too. But now knows differently and lives to prove it!
