ABOUT ME:
Hi I’m Jamie! I have been married to my for 10 years and have 1very active redheaded son and a little girl on the way. I am a health and fitness coach who works from home. I love what I do and love that I can stay at home with my babies and still help provide for my family. It’s a dream and a blessing! MY STORY:
I was always active growing up. I was in gymnastics and cheerleading all the way up to my Sophomore year of high school. Then I taught gymnastics all the way through college. I was also very much into lifting in college, so I got in amazing shape that way. I started to eat a little better, but didn't truly know the meaning of eating healthy at that point. I still enjoyed having my ice cream with chocolate syrup for lunch without any repercussions at the time smile emoticon It wasn't till I moved with my husband and got married that it all went downhill. We ate out all the time. I stopped working out consistently due to excuses of working all the time and having a pretty hefty commute to and from my job. With each move, this just seemed to compound and I was probably at my heaviest when we were in Washington State. It wasn't till we got to NC that I started focusing a little more on my fitness. During my husband's first deployment, I trained for a half marathon with a few of my fellow military spouses and lost quite a bit of weight, but wasn't tone like I wanted or like I had been in the past. By the time my husband's second deployment came around everything kind of fell apart. I had lost my job a few months prior and was having a hard time finding another job. We were trying to get pregnant with our first and it just wasn't happening. Before my husband left, I ordered P90X, but it sat in the closet for a bit. It wasn't till after my hubby left that everything came to a head for me. I decided if I wasn't going to be working and instead of being depressed about something I can't do anything about that I better get myself into shape and take advantage of the free time. I had no excuses. This is when my journey began. At the time I didn't have anyone helping me through the program, so needless to say, I was very self motivated. I was determined to be in the best shape I could be when my husband returned. I got up every morning, did my workout and got on the elliptical or went for a run after. During my first month I noticed that I wasn't getting the results I was hoping for, so I looked at my nutrition. I was eating lean cuisines and just not so healthy stuff. So I stepped it up and cut them out and started adding in snacks and making better choices. I had awesome self-control because I rarely went out to eat. I completed my first round and got amazing results. Immediately after, I started a second round. I was addicted at this point! I ended up losing a total of 20lbs. About the time I was finishing up my second round of P90X I met my coach. I loved the thought of what she did, but wasn't ready to fully commit. When my son was 4 months old that was when I was finally ready to focus on my fitness and nutrition again. I dug in with Shakeology and the Insanity program. After completing the program, I got such amazing results and that's when I decided to sign on as a coach. It has became my motivation to keep going and I haven't stopped yet! TODAY:
Now I'm the best version of me I can be and the most healthy and fit mom/wife inside and out. It was the BEST decision I could have ever made for me and my family. In just 60 days I lost ALL my baby weight and had ABS again! I couldn’t believe the difference in my body! I was happier with my body than I had ever been even before kids. I felt great! Had energy, and for the first time ever could do an unassisted pullup! Using Shakeology to help me with my nutrition became the icing on the cake, as well as, following meal plans from my team of coaches. I LOVED the encouragement. Any day that I felt to tired, or that I just couldn’t do it any more, or I just didn’t have time….I would open up facebook and see my fellow coaches posting about their workouts and what they were going through and it would encourage me to push play! P90X, Insanity and shakeology made such an impact on my journey and my success that I decided to start actively running my own challenge groups to help pass on the amazing feeling I got from these programs and products! I have grown an AMAZING team of coaches who have such amazing hearts for helping others along their journeys too! I can’t imagine being anywhere else today and all because I made the commitment! Now I get to stay home with my amazing babies, earning a 6 figure income working part time hours, and not miss a moment of their life!
