Rosie's Beachbody Transformation

In honor of Transformation Tuesday, I want to share with you an AMAZING one from a coach on my team!

Rosie has been working SO hard and I couldn't be more proud of her. She used Beachbody fitness programs (mainly the 21 Day Fix), Shakeology, and clean eating to get her results!

Read her story below!

(Words from Rosie)

" When I say Beachbody has changed my life I'm not just blowing smoke. 

My mentality before Beachbody on losing weight?? Just starve yourself. Shame yourself into feeling so bad and so crappy about your body and your appearance that your emotions take over and shut down your common sense and you STARVE yourself to see results! 

New mentality?? Work your ass off, give your body ALL the vital nutrients it deserves and needs, wake up every morning with a game plan and a schedule and fuel that with a healthy lifestyle and THATS how you see REAL RESULTS! 

I joined Beachbody literally lost, with no clue on how to lose weight and get TRULY healthy. I felt daily anxiety about my appearance and my life. I felt like it was just passing me by and I had stopped TRULY living. I felt secluded and cut off from the rest of the world and honestly I felt depressed. I was always putting everyone's needs before mine and leaving myself to drown in anxiety with an emotional cup that was NEVER being refilled. 

Fast forward to today. I have NEVER felt more fulfilled. I have honestly found my niche. I have found my community. I have found my happiness... I have found MYSELF I have found my CONFIDENCE. 

I have a giant group of some of the most amazing people I have ever met behind me and I have made so many amazing friendships through out this process. I no longer feel secluded or alone but instead I feel COMPLETED and EMPOWERED. 

.... THIS is how I got THESE results and THIS is the program that I have lost 18 POUNDS on."

AMAZING story right?! This could be YOU next!

Overcoming the "Mom Guilt"

Mom guilt is usually something EVERY mom deals with at some point. 

I was talking to a new friend about adjusting from one kid to two and it really got me reminiscing about those days. My oldest, Lydia, never took a nap anymore when Claire came into our family so there really wasn’t anyway I could always just sleep when the baby slept as so many people advised. I was exhausted, emotional, and the mom guilt creeped in a lot this time around. Even though this is normal for most mom's, that doesn't mean it's not hard.

I felt guilty for having Lydia watch a movie so I could take a nap while Claire napped, I felt guilty that I couldn’t give my FULL attention to Lydia anymore, and I felt guilty every time I tried to get a full 30 minute workout in. I KNEW that it was just a phase, but I found myself feeling overwhelmed about how I was going to keep this up everyday.

Looking back, I now see that I should not have been feeling guilty for ANY of it. I had a busy husband with no family close by so I just did what I needed to do. The fact is, I NEEDED sleep, I couldn’t give 100% of my attention to Lydia anymore, AND exercise was necessary for me to get on my journey back to feeling good about myself again.

If there are any mom’s out there going through a challenging stage.. just know that you are NOT alone. I know you probably hate to hear this, but it really is just a phase of life. It seems like it will never end, but looking back you'll see how quickly time did actually pass. Don’t let yourself get caught up in thinking how you’re going to keep it up for the next days, weeks, or months to come. Focus on ONE day at a time and search for things to be grateful for everyday.



Do the VERY best you can and know that it IS ENOUGH.
