2014 IN REVIEW

2014 IN REVIEW

Like most people, I have taken the last few days to reflect on the entire year as a whole.  I can say that 2014 has been THE BEST and MOST DIFFICULT year of my life. Strange how it can be both, huh?  What I've found is that I've grown so much through the struggles of this year and continue to praise Him in my storms of life. One thing I can say as we close out 2014, I am the healthiest I've ever been....mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially. One thing I talk with all of my clients about is being healthy is not just what we look like.  It's far more than a physical thing and everything tends to work together or against each other.  

I started 2014 NERVOUS and STRESSED.  

I was 8 months pregnant.  I was not ready for our little man to arrive.  We were in the middle of house renovations (it was not in livable conditions and our little guy was coming whether it was ready or not).  I was doing a job I didn't love.  I was the biggest I had ever been and had gained 56lbs during my pregnancy.  I was emotionally, physically, and mentally drained.  I knew becoming a mother would completely change my world and I wasn't quite sure if I was ready for it.  There are a lot of things that go through a woman's mind during the stages of pregnancy and to say that I was freaked out in many ways is an understatement  Would I be able to care for him the way he deserves?  Would I be a good role model?  Would I like being a mom?  Would I be able to provide for him? Would I be able to breastfeed?  So many questions and no way to find out until it actually happened. I'm sure you can relate if you're a mom.

I officially had our son February 4 and can say that my heart grew twice the size that day.  All of those questions I had and all of the reservations were gone as soon as he was placed in my arms and we locked eyes.  Breathtaking.  Life changing.  Becoming a mom has been the most humbling and amazing opportunity God has given me.  I love him more than words can say and he has made my 2014 the BEST year of my life. 

*YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE*

Besides being a mom, my biggest accomplishment of 2014 has been my health and fitness journey and helping others as a Beachbody coach.  I have struggled with my weight and body image my entire life.  I've been heavy. I've been skinny fat. I've been healthy. I've been bulimic. I've been mentally strong. I've been spiritually weak. I believe all of these things tie together to make a healthy person and for ONCE, I feel like I have them all in line.  Through changing my diet, reading personal development books, lots of prayer, surrounding myself with amazing people, and helping others, I've been able to become the best version of me so far. 

Becoming a Beachbody Coach has transformed my heart, mind, and body and I will be forever grateful for this company, my Beachbody family, and this opportunity God has given me to inspire others to be happier, healthier and live more fulfilling lives.  It's only taken 31 years for me to get into the best shape of my life ---- mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially. My heart is full knowing I have helped others along the path to do the same. One of my biggest take aways from 2014 is when we focus on others, in turn we do some incredible things for ourselves. 

I'm ending 2014 confident, strong, happy, and fulfilled!

Will you look back on 2014 and see all the positive ways you have grown? Are you in need of some changes in 2015? You CAN make 2015 your BEST YEAR YET and I'd love to be a  part of it.  Leave a comment below or email me if you're looking for a fresh start.
