Babe in Total Control of Herself: Meet Michelle!

This quote by an unknown author was passed to me by a good friend, “There are so many people out there that will tell you that you can’t. What you got to do is turn around and watch me..”. I have felt for much of my life the first part of the quote. I believed for years that I “couldn’t”. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and we are very thankful the outcome was good but now it was time for me to make a change to do what I could to fuel my body with the appropriate nutrients and step up my exercise.

This past summer I finally decided to change my outlook and create goals. I am turning 30 at the end of October and knew this was the time I had to get in the best shape I have ever been without a dangerous “diet”. I ordered a Beachbody Challenge Pack with Chalene Johnson’s TurboFire with the Chocolate Shakeology. My coach placed me in a 90 Day Bombshell Challenge. Wow was this workout intense. I would pause the video, catch my breath but I would keep on going! 15 minutes lead to 20 minutes and so forth! Then before I knew it I was making it through the whole workout! Changes aren’t going to happen the next day, but I knew inside I was making progress and I did not want to stop! The rest was history! I felt more energized, I started to build up my endurance more than more every day, while fueling my body with healthy food. My face was glowing, I started losing inches and I was an all over more positive person. People started to ask me what I was doing to get fit and why I had a greater outlook on life. I decided to go with the second part of the quote on top.. Watch me! I was committed to finishing this 90 Day Bombshell Challenge and wanted to take it to the next level and inspire others! So I signed up to become a Beachbody Coach.

I absolutely love inspiring others to reach their fitness and weight loss goals. It has been amazing to see who has transformed themselves to a level they never thought possible. All the support and guidance myself and other challengers give each other is priceless. Everyone has the same goal and we are all in it together. I have had crash diets, fluctuated constantly in weight – but this is different! I noticed this was a LIFESTYLE change not a fad diet! That this was improving my health and this is something I don’t want to compromise! I want to be a good role model for people around me and healthy for when I choose to have my own family. You and I must come to terms with knowing some days will be harder than others, but to go the extra step and know that this is a journey to arrive to your destiny of who you want to be. You are never too late to achieve everything you want and live the best life you can live. It all starts NOW!
