As most of you know by my posts I have recently started working out and am loving my results. I wanted to tell you all a little bit about my story.
Just a few months ago I was becoming a really unhappy person. I was not loving my working environment (loved the actual job, not the conditions) I was putting on weight and actually got heavier than the weight I was when I went into labor with my second child. I was getting depressed and it showed.
Big changes came over the next month. I started working from home, therefore improving my working conditions. I started cooking at home more..began slowly improving my diet....and eased my way into working out again.
Then in Sept my life changed in a way I never expected. I started working out to Slim in 6, a Beachbody product that promises to change your body in 6 weeks. Well, I have two weeks to go and I'm already a different person.
Change doesn't come easy, and anyone who tells you it does is fooling you. Step one of the Slim in 6 process, taking before pictures. THE HARDEST THING in the world is looking at those pictures. It isn't so much the fat rolls and extra weight that really bothered me...but the REASON I had those fat rolls and weight. It was the physical proof of the way I've been feeling. The proof I couldn't ignore any longer.
So I took on the challenge. The workouts are hard, they require focus and dedication and follow through. Some days I didn't feel like doing them, but I did. I pushed through the soreness and my results are proof of that. After 4 weeks I have lost 15 pounds and 25 inches over my body. 2 weeks to go and I'm hoping to hit that 20 pound goal for my 6 weeks.
Slim in 6 isn't a magic potion, its hard work. The hard work doesn't end after 6 weeks. I'll keep working. I'll keep pushing to get to where I want to be. My next challenge will be ChaLEAN Extreme, a 12 week program that will have me lifting weights! I'm scared, but know that I've already conquered the hardest part. I admitted my weakness, I acknowledged that change was necessary and now I have committed to making those changes a reality.
If you feel like I felt, if your energy is low, your mood is bad and your body is not what you dream it to be...join me on my journey. We will motivate eachother!
It's not easy, but by getting up every day and pushing PLAY, I am one day closer to my goals. One day closer to my AFTER.
If this speaks to you, please email me and I'll send you my link. I'm not pushing this on anybody. I don't want to pressure you...but I feel like I've found my answer and I think it could be yours too.
Thanks everyone!!
A special thanks to my coach...love you and your support!

About me
I am a work at home mom of two who always put herself last on the list. My kids, work, housework...it took all my time. Over a period of 4 years I put on 50 pounds, with two pregnancies, two times on bedrest and horrible eating habits. I looked in the mirror one day and I didn't recognize who I was anymore.
My journey has taken me two years of starting and stopping my workouts and diet plan. I wasn't ready to do it. I honestly don't know what stopped me, but each time something held me back from giving 100%.
Sept 2009 brought big changes for me. I stopped working with my mom and ventured out on my own. A change that was necessary but scary too. Knowing that all the responsibility of my home business was in my hands was huge. Empowered and scared, I vowed to change myself for the better and put myself back on the to do list. I needed to be fit and happy in order to do my job as a wife and caregiver well. So I did.
I started a round of Beachbody Slim in 6 and I will never look back! In 3.5 weeks I've lost 14 pounds and 24 inches around my whole body. I've gone from wearing really really tight size 12 pants to easily sliding on any pair of size 8's.
My journey is just starting and I want you to take it with me! You owe it to yourself to live your best life and Beachbody is the perfect way to start doing that. Visit my site at www.beachbodycoach.com/JAMIEMARIE and sign up for my FREE coaching!
In a few more weeks I'll be kicking up my workouts for a new challenge. ChaLEAN Extreme! Can't wait to continue watching my body change and to help you change yours.
Til next time,
