Thank you for your message, but I'm not interested.

"Thank you for your message, but I'm not interested."

This is how I felt when I was first contacted by a Beachbody Coach after purchasing Insanity.  In fact, I wasn't even nice enough to respond.  I just freaked out that someone was asking me about my fitness goals and logged out of the Team Beachbody website.

Why?

Well, hello?!?!?!  I didn't want to have to tell someone how much weight I wanted to lose and talk about nutrition and have this peppy, fitness freak know that I am not giving up ice cream.  I also didn't want to have to answer to someone when coming home from work and needing to get dinner ready, so I can't fit in my workout, and then can't work out right after eating and then it's bed time....  I didn't want some size 2 crazy workout woman telling me that I should just get up earlier to fit my workouts in.  I LOVE my sleep and NEED my sleep and I just didn't want to have to answer to someone else.

So....I logged out of the Team Beachbody website and decided not to go back in there for fear of being contacted by that person.

I also deleted the emails because, oh my God, didn't she take the hint that I just didn't want to talk to her?

I then started Insanity and made it through week one! Yes!!!

Then I missed a couple workouts in week two because the kids had karate and soccer games and homework.  And I had to get my papers graded....

Then I missed a few more....

It got to the point where I didn't even really make it through month one of the program.

Fast forward to my attempt at Focus T25....This time, I ordered through Amazon (good thinking, right?  No creepy stalkers to ask about your weight loss goals, right?).

I also thought, okay...I DON'T have time throughout the day, so I HAVE to try to get up earlier to do a workout (okay, good plan).

Then I thought....MAYBE I could log back into that Beachbody site and see who else is doing this program......

I got hooked into a group all talking about this same workout....they were having the same struggles that I was...and they were all trying to push through....and I started feeling like I HAD to get up in the morning and press play, or else I'd have to admit to these other people that I didn't do my workout.  And there was this one person that helped keep the group going and kept us motivated and answered  our questions....  And she wasn't creepy...  and she wasn't trying to sell us anything....  Oh...and she was a coach.

Now, fast forward again to today.  I'm not a crazy fitness lady (although some may disagree with that statement).  I'm not a size 2!  I do still eat my ice cream.  But I've been working out 5-6 times/week since Feb. 2014 and have made huge gains with my own health and fitness.  Oh...and I'M a Beachbody Coach!  Why?  Because I want to be able to help people like ME who just want to try to be healthier and get in better fitness and nutrition while working around everyday LIFE....in order to better enjoy life!
