About Me

I am 28 years old - born and raised in Colorado. I married my high school sweetheart almost 5 years ago. Faith and family are very important to me - I have a passion for helping others and desire to make a difference. I am a Disney fanatic, total kid at heart and this love for 'The Mouse' runs in my family! 

Being only 5 ft 1 inches, my weight easily fluctuates and I always feel like I have to work harder at seeing results. I have always been an emotional eater - especially in High School and College. I remember in a health class having to get weighed as well as my body fat percentage calculated.  I almost passed out when  my body fat came up as 39%. I tried crash dieting, low-fat fads and would lose the weight but never keep it off. I was depressed, unhappy, and lacked confidence. I was on the dead-end diet merry-go-round. I would switch from one fad to another - consistently feeling deprived and never fully understanding nutrition. 

Nutrition and clean eating began to click for me in the last year.  I began a 30 day cleanse where I cut out dairy, gluten, processed sugar and processed foods. I ate whole, natural foods - I ate superfoods and healthy fats  and I was amazed at how I felt and how much energy I had! I decided that I never wanted to go back to eating processed foods, they really dragged me down. After the cleanse, I continued juicing and make homemade smoothies. I was spending crazy amounts of money on the natural ingredients in my juice and smoothies to be sure I was getting a lot of nutrients. 

One day, I was researching clean-eating and came across my Coach's blog and saw that she was recruiting people for a coaching program where you help others achieve their fitness and health goals. It intrigued me right away and within a few days I was signed up as a Beachbody Coach - it just felt right! Along with this, I also discovered an amazing product called, Shakeology. A shake with dense amounts of nutrients and superfoods. It included all the extra items I was adding to my shakes and tons more! I tried and immediately became hooked, it tasted fantastic and cost me far less than the homemade concoctions I was making. 

Fast forward a little bit and I am now helping others on their fitness journey and excited about the future. I am at my lightest weight and lowest body fat percentage - at 19% right now and have lost 25 pounds from my heaviest weight. I continue to drink Shakeology along with 5-6 small meals a day and have never felt better. The best part is that I don't feel deprived, I am excited to workout and come up with new recipes. I have completed Insanity and will be documenting my journey with P90X3 here in the next few months.
