Ready for a change??

Maybe you're like me 2.5 years ago and you've found yourself stuck in a rut. You wake up each day tired, you try on different outfits, only to be uncomfortable in everything you put on, you pin things on pinterest and WANT to get healthy and in shape, but you just keep starting and stopping. You find yourself with little patience with your kids, cravings that get the best of you, and sometimes a voice in your head tells you to just give up because making a change is just TOO hard!!

If this sounds familiar, please know that there is HOPE! Because I DID IT. I changed my life, one step at a time, one day at a time.

The first transformation on the bottom left is ME. I didn't have the money or time to go to a gym, I tried videos on my own at home only to stop after a week because I wasn't there yet to hold myself accountable. I was running outside at night after my husband got home from work, and it was helping but I was still STUCK!

Then I found a challenge group with my Beachbody coach and everything changed from that moment forward. It was a sacrifice to get my challenge pack, but I made it work because I WANTED CHANGE more than I wanted to STAY THE SAME. And when you really want something, you make it happen. I dived into researching clean eating, how to read labels, how to make my meals healthier, and we found Shakeology through that. I knew after reading that ingredient list that we couldn't get these super foods and whole foods at the store, and I knew that our bodies desperately needed this nutrition!! So when my challenge pack came, it had a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the workout program Insanity, and I had a challenge group that I had committed to check in with each night to report my day!!

60 days later, I no longer needed naps each day, my cravings were gone, I had more energy, clarity, I was happier and I was 12 inches smaller, and 8 lbs lighter. It just continued to get better from there :)

2.5 years later I've helped other women reach their goals month after month by passing on everything I've learned. I see women getting off migraine medication thanks to Shakeology, cholesterol and blood pressure medications, those with autoimmune, it's helping their symptoms, etc.

In these groups I share my favorite recipes, my grocery shopping trips, sample meal plan ideas, I have them check in each day with what they ate and how their workout went, and sometimes sweaty selfies. And I see the light come back in their faces. Their confidence increases, they see how STRONG they are..and best of all -

THIS LASTS! This is a full circle LIFESTYLE CHANGE!

And lucky for you - if this sounds like what you deserve right now to make a change in your life, I have 2 spots left in my group starting next week! Let me know if you want it and I just might send a bonus workout dvd to you in the mail as well ;) Add me on www.facebook.com/mindyjrose and we can talk more and get you added in the private challenge group which is on facebook!

Don't underestimate yourself!

I LOVE that even though I'm not where I want to be yet..that I can finally not hide behind the camera or behind Chris. I was looking through our pictures, and it's just sad how many pictures I'm not in, because I was so ashamed of how I looked. 

NO ONE should feel that way. 

We are all so unique and blessed with bodies that can do amazing things. It takes sacrifice and a DESIRE to change and when we take care of our bodies, they reward us in return. If you want it bad enough, you will sacrifice time, money and whatever it takes to get what you want. It wasn't easy to give up certain foods, but I wanted to feel good bad enough. I wanted to feel good physically and emotionally, and I got my wish. Having 3 kids in 4 years was tough. But I used it as an excuse for 5 years that I didn't have time to exercise, that my body would never be the same, and I was too tired. It's true..pregnancy does take a toll on our bodies, and we have to work even harder and eat more clean to regain our strength back. BUT, I'm a better Mom now, than I ever have been, because I feel better and have more energy. It helps a lot to have nutrients back in my body, and taking that time for yourself each day makes you a better individual. My body isn't the same as before..it's even stronger. Thank You Shakeology and Beachbody workout programs, for taking to me a place physically and mentally that I've never been before.
