I'm so happy you've stopped by and I can't wait to share with you a little glance into my life. As a Mom to four children and a wife to a busy Husband, I understand LIFE can feel full ... overwhelming ... or just too busy.
I hope I can shine a little light on how I seek to find that precious balance each and every day.
I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by trying to start a new healthy lifestyle. After my fourth baby, was born I could no longer get a grip of TIME or much less Life. I actually had control over nothing. I felt overwhelmed and I felt lost. After sometime of denial I realized I was going through post-partum depression. And, going into such a dark place where nothing felt comfortable from my clothes to my home and just looking into the mirror. I was not happy and I needed a CHANGE ... I did not even recognize who I was.
During that pregnancy I had gained 52 pounds and I needed to get it off. I needed to sweat it off and I needed to learn a new system as a stay at home mom. I did not know anything about clean eating and I was worried it would be too hard. I had always enjoyed working out and feeling that deep burn or sweat dripping down my stomach. However, the story of my life prior was ... I was a GYM Girl.
At this season in my life I could not afford a Gym, a Sitter for those hours or create a health plan with consistency. So after a long year of one of my Girlfriends asking me to be in a Challenge Group with her and to push play on a T-25 and drink Shakeology daily ... I finally said, "Yes"!
Within the first week I felt different ... my mind, body and soul was transforming. ALL from working out in my guest room and finally discovering that the Healthiest Meal of the day was a Shake. It was WILD! The support and positive motivation from my on-line Challenge Group was Life Changing. I did not feel alone ... but I felt connected to New Friends. I was being pushed by women who were living in another STATE or another CITY, but we were reaching for the same goal.
"A Healthier ME."
Let me tell you - I could not be here today if I didn't have those bad days! They became my motivation to DO BETTER and to FEEL BETTER! I had to BELIEVE I could do it and I did! After four months with T-25 and Shakeology ... I lost my baby weight and I had found "MARY" again.
Today one of my greatest passions in life is to help others and give back to the community - to share the knowledge that I've learned. I truly want to help you get started. Sometimes that can look completely different for one person verse another. Remember life is about taking one step at a time.
