Why Being a Coach is Awesome

If you've been following my health and fitness journey you know that I've lost over 50 pounds, twice, after having kids. Let me tell you, it didn't come easy.
Having been an athlete my whole life, my mentality had always been that I needed to run long distances to maintain my weight. Our boys are 14 months apart so in the beginning their naps took up almost the entire day. It was nearly impossible to get out of the house, let alone workout.

My boys were born in 2013 and 2014. In my head 2015 was going to me "my year". By the end of the summer I had increased my running to 7 miles but I still wasn't losing weight. November creeped in and I knew I had to get down to business. At the time I was 139 pounds and would have been happy with any weight under 130. 
I found 21 Day Fix and started drinking Shakeology. Within 2 weeks I lost 6 pounds. Within 2-3 months I lost 15 pounds. I felt like I had cleansed my body of all that fat and sour grapes that I had been holding on to. I feel so strongly about the balanced approach that worked so well for me that I created *Get Rockin' Fit*  to inspire other moms who need that tiny nudge to get headed in the right direction again... because that's what I needed and I was lucky enough to have a friend do that for me.
One of the first things people ask me, is how do I have the time!? Being a wifey, full time working mom of two beautiful boys, Jack and Bo, time is of the essence. When I started to "take back" a little time for myself, my chaotic world became a bit more clear :-) I'm the happiest I've ever been. It took re-establishing life balance after having kids.  

Here's the part that is just crazy awesome...

My business gives me the structure and platform to be the best version of myself. Since becoming a coach I'm more positive, I'm a better friend, and I believe in my own ability to dream big and go after those goals.
