If you asked me 25 days ago if I would become a fitness
coach, I would have laughed out you of the room! I’m still thinking to myself “Am I
really doing this?!” I must be crazy!
As many of you know...I have struggled for years trying to
be healthy and lose weight and all I’ve had is let down after let down of
failed attempts – which unfortunately led to an even worse lifestyle than
before. Even when I made changes, I steadily continued to gain weight.
I had ZERO energy, I had ZERO motivation to
do anything physical, I hated my body, I had no self –esteem, and no
confidence, and I'm still a work in progress. I hid all of these negative
struggles as much as I could and put on a happy face for the people around me
and really just tried to be OK with the fact that this, being overweight, was
my life.
25 days ago, I jumped at the chance to start a challenge opportunity
and I was going to give it ALL I possibly could! I was amazed with the
workouts, with the motivation received from my coach, with the fact that I
could easily manage the ‘diet restrictions’ – which really isn’t hard! I
still have my dessert sometimes, or go out for dinner, but I am extremely aware
of what I put into my mouth and how much of it I eat! It’s amazing how your
mindset changes when you’ve put in a sweaty workout and you have a chance to
ruin all your hard work! All of a sudden those, French fries don’t look so
good!
The biggest reason I
want to be a coach is the fact that this program truly WORKS! I had noticeable results
within 3 weeks! My FB and emails went INSANE when my friends and family saw a
before and after pic after only 3 weeks of my challenge. I jokingly said to my coach “I should become
a coach getting so many newbies asking about Beachbody LOL! ” and he said “
ummm that’s not ‘LOL’ You really should!!”
After thinking it over a little I decided why the heck not! So what if I’m
a plus sized fitness coach. I won’t be fat forever! and it makes me relatable...right?? Sure Jill, Sure...
I feel like I need to say that I’m not in this for money, nor would I give it all up if I
don’t get anyone to actually ‘coach’...of course that would be AAAAMAZING if I
did get that opportunity, but it isn’t my end goal. My goal in being a coach, in doing Beachbody
workouts at all – is to learn and put into practice tools to help me get
healthy & be active and to support and encourage the people around me to do
the same. I would love to coach and motivate others as they
make changes in their lives, I really can relate!
I still have a LONG way to go before I reach my ultimate
goals and I NEEDED this program to get me started on it and I will continue to
use it because it has proved it really works for me. The support from my coach, friends and family
has inspired me to do my best and their support has been imperative in my
weight loss and now being a coach, I’m excited to hopefully be that person for
others if they want it!
