Scared to Life!

Why do we have to be standing in front of a casket to be reminded how uncertain life really is? Just a few years ago, I stood in silence - in shock - staring at my aunt lying in that casket. She was only 64 years old and without warning, without any signs of poor health, she died of what appeared to be a heart attack. As family and friends were reminiscing about her life and the memories they shared with her, my thoughts were elsewhere. I was rewinding to a conversation I had with her a few months earlier. I had just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and my doctor asked me if anyone else in my family had the disease. "I don't know, I don't think so, no one ever mentioned it," I replied. My aunt was the family historian. I knew if I asked her about our family's medical history, she could point to someone, somewhere in my genealogy who had the disease. To my surprise, she too had suffered from RA too but chose not to reveal it. "You can't do anything about it, you just have to live with it," she said. End of story.

Unfortunately for her, the medications that are available today to slow the progression of the disease did not exist when she was diagnosed. For years, she just quietly put up with the pain and didn't complain to anyone about her struggles. RA is an autoimmune disease with no cure. If left untreated, chronic inflammation from the disease can damage the lungs, kidneys and the heart leading to a premature death. And it is estimated that as many as one third to one half of RA patients will die of coronary artery disease.









So as I listened to people paying respects to my aunt, I'll admit it, my thoughts were more selfish. I stood there terrified, wondering if I was facing the last 20 years of my life. Did the countdown begin? I stared at the expression on my kid's faces and imagined if that's what they would look like standing there looking down at me. I did not want my story to end that way. At that moment I decided to step outside of myself and take a good look at what needed to change. There's nothing that she or I did to end up with this disease, it was pre-set in our DNA. However, with some lifestyle changes, it is possible to manage RA and lessen the symptoms. For the first time in my life, my health and happiness became a priority.







So why should it take a tragedy or a crisis to scare us into taking better care of ourselves? We spend the first part of our lives on automatic. We don't require a whole lot of maintenance. We live as if there is always going to be a tomorrow, like we have all the time in the world. Most of the time, we're lucky because things work out just as we had planned. The car starts in the morning, the pizza gets delivered on time, the internet is working, the kids remember to take their lunch. But when one of those seemingly insignificant things doesn't happen, it can absolutely ruin our day. We are not prepared for things to go wrong.

But what if all of a sudden, you were faced with an even bigger problem? What if you suddenly suffered a loss, illness, divorce, economic hardship, a life crisis beyond your control -  eventually it will happen. Tragedy, especially when it hits close to home, has the ability to shake us into taking action. It forces us to re-think our priorities and hit the reset button.

I made the decision that day to make the rest of my life the best of my life. I'm happy to say that today, my RA is under control. I look and feel better than I have in years. But it wasn't easy. I had to first change my mindset, then modify my diet and make a commitment to becoming fit. It's not a temporary fix, it is ongoing. It's a new way of life that focuses on replacing unhealthy habits with better life choices. It means putting an end to life in quick and easy mode. No more skipping breakfast, frequenting drive-throughs and concession stands,  juggling stress and chaos, no more self-punishment by putting myself last and rewarding myself with late night Netflix and snacks - sound familiar? All of this was taking years off my life and making me miserable.

I want to use my story to help other people transform their lives. I want to show you how to make your health and happiness a priority now, before a crisis happens. How you can take much better care of your family if you care for yourself. I'm inviting you to Join me for a 30-day online fitness and accountability group. It's not selfish, it's personal development. When you shift your focus to the things in your life you can change and control, you will be prepared to rise above any challenge.

Take the Tour & Learn More

Click here to join my FREE 5 Day online virtual tour into Beachbody Coaching

Curious about Beachbody coaching? Worried you can do it because you haven't completed your own personal transformation? Think you don't have enough time? Maybe you think it's just for people
who are fitness experts and trainers. Join me for the virtual tour and I'll show you that just about anyone can become a Beachbody coach as long as you enjoy helping others and are willing to make your own health and wellness a priority. Oh, and if you are worried that you'll have to sell stuff to your friends and family… don't be. We do not SELL anything except a healthy lifestyle that is based upon the principles of eating whole natural foods and regular exercise. Of course, we promote Beachbody Fitness programs and supplements because they work! This is a chance for you to turn your own fitness journey into a business and then share your success with others.

One reason I chose Beachbody coaching is because I can easily fit it into my busy day. First, and foremost, I am a wife and mom of 3 and my tribe is my number one priority. I also have another
career working as a travel agent from my home. The biggest concern I had before I decided to become a coach was how in the world I was going to find the time to get another business up and running. But I was happy to learn that the company offers complete flexibility. You work from home and set your own hours so you can work as little or as much as you are comfortable with. Some people treat it like a hobby and are able to earn enough to cover the cost of their own fitness products, or their cell phone bill, or for holiday shopping. On the other end of the spectrum, there are coaches who are committed full-time and earn a living solely from coaching. The opportunities are limitless. If you focus on building your business, it can be very lucrative. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme, but if you are driven to succeed, coaching can be both personally and financially rewarding.... simply by helping others.

I'm not a sales person. I simply share my story. The last thing I want to do is offend my family and friends with annoying sales pitches. I do not sell anything except a healthy lifestyle that is based upon eating whole, natural foods and by exercising regularly. I hope that my story and my transformation will inspire others to make their health and wellness a priority. I believe in Beachbody fitness programs and Shakeology. I will never have to "diet" again because my lifestyle has changed. I am stronger, healthier and feel younger today because of Beachbody's complete wellness system that includes fitness, nutrition and support. Step away from those 3 elements, and it's just another diet.

Lord knows, I was not a fitness expert when I started on my journey. I was overweight, in pain and could barely walk. But through my own transformation, I've gotten to know the Beachbody system. Everything I learned about Beachbody, I learned through my own experience. As far as coaching goes, Beachbody has training and tools available to help you every step of the way. I have a wonderfully supportive coach, Melanie Mitro, and an awesome support system from other coaches in our team. Our team is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds. There are stay-at-home moms, people with 9-5 jobs, professionals, retirees, and college students, and so on. So if you are considering becoming a coach but you've got a few reservations, I encourage you to reach out to me. I'm looking to expand my team with individuals who want to work on themselves while helping others. People who want guidance, not a boss. Upbeat folks who are open to learning. And those who want to add on to their income from the comfort of their own home.

Curiosity Killed the Fat!

Curious about Beachbody? I was too - for a long, long time before I decided to consider it. I knew a little about Beachbody fitness programs because my husband, Bill, used them regularly. At 50, Bill is in the best shape of his life! He tried his best to encourage me to use the fitness programs and to get in better shape and it frustrated him and the kids to see me spending so much time laying on the couch, tired and in pain. When I was 42, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I spent 2 years trying to get pain free, and the last thing that was on my mind was getting fit!

Little by little I began to recover and after 2 years of medical treatment and modifying my diet, I received the good news I had been waiting for - my RA was in remission! I was very fortunate to be in this category and I was finally beginning to feel like my old self again. At this point, the best thing I could do for myself would be to get in shape, lose some weight and gain strength to protect myself against any future flare-ups.

It is Not Mission Impossible!

I'm not athletic and I didn't know a whole lot about fitness, and let me tell you I was overwhelmed by choices. I thought about joining a gym, but I wasn't looking forward to the drive back-and-forth plus the time it would take to complete a workout - especially in the dead of winter! Friends offered to go walking and invited me to yoga classes, but I just didn't feel like it was enough. To accomplish my goal of losing weight, getting stronger and gaining mobility, I needed to get serious! I need a complete lifestyle adjustment!

Stop Putting Yourself at the Bottom of Your To Do List!

For the longest time, I thought you only had to exercise if you wanted to lose weight. But over the past few years, I've changed the way I look at my health and I've learned to put myself at the top of my to do list. Not because I'm selfish, but because I decided to make happiness and health a priority.

Invest in Yourself, Challenge Yourself, Transform Yourself!

I lead my family by example, and I can take much better care of them if I first take care of myself.
I found success through Beachbody because it is a complete wellness system, not a fad diet. It's convenient and I can workout at my own pace and in the privacy of my own home. I have done 21 Day FIX, P90, PiYo and Slim in 6. I also drink Shakeology every day and follow a clean eating lifestyle. As a coach, I do not SELL anything except a healthy lifestyle that is based upon the principles of eating whole natural foods and regular exercise. Of course, I do promote Beachbody Fitness programs and supplements because they work! I have tried them and I know that if you follow Beachbody's blueprint, you too will get the results you want.

Share Your Success!

Not only have I transformed my body, but I now have more energy and a more positive outlook on life and today, I love to share my success with others through coaching. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme, I do it because I want to make a difference. I do it to help end the trend of obesity and to promote wellness. I do it to help give hope and encouragement to people who feel like giving up and giving in. Yes, I do work at it... but it is as rewarding as it is challenging to help people get fit and feel great, just like I did!

Challenge Groups Work!

I remember when I was invited to join my first challenge group I had no idea what is was about or what I was getting into, but toady, I am so glad that I took that leap! Even though I am not at my goal weight, I am more than half way there! The friendships, accountability and support that I found in the groups that I have been a part of made all the difference in the world, and I am thrilled to now be a part of Beachbody and to be able to share that experience with you.

Other people will be doing the same challenge for the same duration so you are in good company every day, helping to push through and reap the rewards of completing the challenge.

Join a Winning Team & Lose!

Online challenge groups are a growing trend. Do a quick Google search and you can scroll through pages of choices. For the most part, challenge groups follow the same format - group members complete assigned exercise and then check in on social media for daily tips and advice. But exercise is only part of the solution. To achieve lasting results requires focus on good nutrition too. This is where Beachbody stands out from the all the rest. Their challenge groups follow a proven 3-part formula that incorporates 30 minutes of daily fitness, an easy-to-follow nutrition plan and individual support through personal coaching. With more than 20 fitness programs to choose from, Beachbody has something for most levels of ability and interest.

Shakeology ( a dense, nutritious meal replacement shake).

Real People Here to Help

Never get stuck trying to figure out what workout to do again, choose the program that is right for you and follow the schedule that's included. In addition, challengers are assigned a personal coach at no additional charge. Beachbody coaches are former challengers, people just like you, who want to help you reach your goal. Throughout the challenge, your coach is available to answer your questions, offer tips and advice, help you with meal planning and motivate you to keep going. In fact, coaches continue to provide accountability and support long after the challenge is completed.
