Sharing wellness, fitness, mom life, lifestyle
🍎 Healthy journey started 6/25/18

A little side by side of my transformation. It’s painful sharing some of these photos. But I’ve lost over 50lbs and got my real smile back, and the sparkle is back in my eyes.

Every day I am working towards my goals. Every day I wonder if I’m being too open by sharing my journey. Every day I ask myself “Should I stop sharing? I’m sure I’m annoying people with all of the posts, who even cares right?” I’ve been pretty open about the hate, the unfollows, the “is she okay?”, the “She’s brave for posting that.” Every time I almost close that access, someone messages me that I inspire them, or they love watching the transformation, or that I am glowing and they can see how much happier I am. Honestly, I can’t even watch my highlights back because I cringe, I keep them up for a digital diary of my progress. I look at the side by side photos and I can see that I wasn’t as happy as I was pretending to be. In the moment those were photos I liked, and now I see how long I had lost myself. It’s amazing recognizing myself again.

The truth is, I’ve always been a happy person, I’ve always been confident and comfortable in my skin. I haven’t always been happy with how I felt or looked. I couldn’t let that keep me unhappy because it wasn’t something I could change in a day. I only needed one day to decide to change. I always knew I had it in me, I just needed to find a community I was comfortable in. Anyone that knows me knows I don’t give up, don’t challenge me because I’ll do it. I’m dedicated and loyal.

I’ve been through too much in my life, if I had let things sit and fester I’m afraid of the person I could have been. From the youngest age I’ve been grateful for every day I’m given. I know that if I wasn’t supposed to be able to grow through the things I go through, then they wouldn’t have happened. That there has to be something completely amazing and magical waiting for me after all of the tears and pain.

I’ve been feeling things shift lately, I’m pretty sure that the great things are just around the corner, this next decade has so much in store for me and I can’t wait.

$My Killer Body journey started in December after I saw a video of a dance class. “I’ve always wanted to take a class like that.” Usually I check the location and it’s in another state, but this time it was only 30mins away. I told Britt ”I’m not a gym girl, weight lifting is not my thing.” She said “Try twerk and work, you’ll be taking the others before you know it.” If she could have seen me rolling my eyes. Let me tell you, Britt knows what she can do. That was my first class, I became a member the next day and never looked back. I spent days going through photos and videos, this isn’t even a fraction of my 6 short months. I had lost my spark, I’d been dulling down my personality for years to make other people comfortable. As I’ve shared my journey I’ve watched people side eye me, unfollow me. I’ve also found out who truly loves and supports me. Some people have been “so surprised” while my closest friends are giggling and clapping saying “this isn’t the least bit surprising” I’ve watched people fall away as I’ve found myself again and had others tell me how happy they are to have me back. From the day I stepped into Killer Body I found a new home. Accepted as I am, uplifted, and supported. I genuinely love every woman I’ve met through Killer Body. I found a community. It’s heartbreaking to see the space closing, but the relationships remain. Keep me in mind for classes because my asthmatic self will literally come running for my KB women. I couldn’t have done it without any of you. I found my confidence again, I’ve taken control of my health. Finally getting the results I was looking for. The progress is undeniable, I am forever grateful. Britt you pour into women with your whole heart. You’re the ultimate hype woman and we all need someone like you. We’ve connected on a soul level with experiences in common that have made us the strong women we are today. I know I found you for a reason. I hate to see you go but I am so proud of you. You have my support for life. I’ll make sure I make it to Florida so you can kick (or slap 😅) my ass some more. I love you and I will miss you. “One more time for the good vibes and the good energy.” 💜 #killerbodyfitness$
