Wow, it's not only a new year, it's a new decade! I'm sitting here looking back on my last 10+ years since I have moved to Maryland out of school.
I went from being fit and athletic. Being up and out the door so early to have fun, maybe rollerblade a few miles! I remember my diet was definitely not the greatest, but living single I ate what I wanted. It was mainly vegetarian, I had a lot of salads, yogurt and yes pasta as staple foods.
As time went on, I became a little less active. Seems like that life called work starts to suck you in and gets you into a routine. Plus, then I started dating more, and that meant more dinners out and about. It meant those times I did go to the gym, I tended to skip a little more to go out with my friends. I remember hanging out at the bars for many happy hours which lead to a few too many beers in my life.
It's amazing over time the 10 years I've been out of school, I just would add a little more weight on each year. I went from a size 8 in collage to basically a 14 in 2007. Each time I ha to shop for a bigger size, I was more and more depressed about me. I know I tried many things to get the old me back, but nothing ever seemed to work or stick.

Between September and Christmas of that year (the hardest time to lose weight), I was dropping pants sizes each month. By Christmas I was wearing a size 6 and asking my family for new cloths since mine were way to big! It was incredible! I was now smaller then when I was in college! I was on my way.
Today, is 2010. That journey I started in Sept. of 2007 I am still on. I'm still achieving new goals, I'm still pushing myself more and more. I'm 1 week away from running my first marathon! Can you believe that? I never would have guessed that I would be running 26.2 miles just because!
I know I did all the hard work these past few years. But, I owe it all to Beachbody! I have to say, joining the community really changed my life. Finding a coach who helped me along the way, encouraged me to eat right and push play even when I did not want to. Reading what others were doing, having friends in the community who were there doing what I was doing and feeling the pains I was, kept me going. I was getting results!
I decide to turn what I learned to help others. I became a coach! Since I started coaching, I have meet some amazing people and seen some incredible successes. I have personally met some of the Beachbody trainers and taken their classes. I have been to all expense paid trip to California for some top coach training.
Plus, as I keep telling people because of the Coaching Karma I am pushing myself more and more each day to reach bigger and better goals! I know that 2010 will be the best year ever. I can't wait to see what I can do with my body, my fitness, my business! I have so big goals I set for myself. I'm willing to help and bring anyone that is willing to go for a ride along!
So, here is to a very healthy and happy new year to everyone that is reading this! If you have been struggling for sometime to get to where you want, I know I can help you! Just drop me an email at HeatherB@BeachbodyCoach.com. Today is a new day, a new decade, so decide to start it off right!
