My Beachbody transformation started back in September of 2005 before there were Beachbody Coaches.
I was lucky enough to be part of Chalene Johnson’s Test Group for TurboFire.
It couldn’t have come at a better time for me both physically and emotionally. I was in the worst shape of my life. It had been almost a year since I had my miscarriage. For some reason I just couldn’t get over the loss. I was 15 weeks into my pregnancy and everything was normal. Then all of a sudden one day I no longer felt pregnant. My baby bump was gone and I was left with this feeling of loss and uncertainty. It took another week for my body to actually deliver my baby. It was a week before Christmas and I was left with a post pregnant body and no baby.
This was the first time in my life that I just couldn’t diet and run my body back into shape. I was getting more and more depressed as time was ticking away for me. At 39 I knew time was ticking. I was feeling the pressure of my age and the fact that we wanted to try to have another baby. At 40 there are so many more possibilities for something to go wrong. Feeling unsure of my body because of my miscarriage I was becoming very depressed. It had been six months already and I wasn’t pregnant yet.
Then came along Chalene and her TurboFire Test Group. I signed up without hesitation. Chalene gave us her 10 Day Plan and told us if we followed the plan we could lose up to 10 inches in 10 days. I was in.
We worked out with Chalene every day for those 10 days (sometimes twice a day) and followed her 10 Day Food Plan.
I will admit it was tough. But what did I have to lose? My body was a mess and I was depressed. So I gambled on her plan working for me.
I did everything Chalene said to do. I questioned NOTHING. By day 2 I started feeling changes in my body. By day 5 is started seeing changes in my body and by day 10 I had CHANGED my body.
In Chalene’s 10 Day TurboFire test group I lost 9.75 inches in my body, a total of 6 pounds and went from a size 12/14 to a size 8/10. I was my old self again. I was in the best shape of my life and I was no longer depressed.
By November of 2005 I was down to size 6 and in the best shape of my life. I was happy and confident again. I ran the Dana Point Turkey Trot on the morning of
Thanksgiving that year in one of my best race times ever. Little did I know at the time I was pregnant with my daughter.
I had a very healthy pregnancy gaining only 25 pounds. Because of my age (40) my doctor told me I WOULD get Gestational Diabetes with this pregnancy regardless of how good of shape I was in. So I decided to follow Chalene’s 10 Day Food Plan for the duration of my pregnancy to just be safe. I was able to get through my pregnancy with no complications.
In July of 2006 I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Gabby. My delivery was easy because I was in such great physical shape. My recovery was quick and I was back into my pre pregnancy clothes in no time.
I continue to use what I learned during that time with Chalene to keep myself at my best. Now I have Shakeology to use to fill in some of those nutritional gaps and to just simplify my dietary needs.
I decided to become a Team Beachbody Coach because the lifestyle of a coach is the lifestyle I had already been living. I just hadn’t realized that I could live my life on such a huge and amazing platform. I figured if I could just help one person the way Chalene helped me then it would be worth it.
I have been a Team Beachbody Coach since September of 2010. I have enjoyed every moment of my journey. At the age of 45 I am in the best shape and health of my life. Thanks to the Team Beachbody Coaching Opportunity I also have a very successful home based business.
