I
am a busy mom of two kids ages 1 & 3, I stay home and take care of
our family household. My husband likes to call me the CEO of the Hill
house :)
I
was very active growing up. I was a Cheerleader throughout high school,
ran track, and I paddled (canoe race) when I lived in Hawaii, I never
had trouble with my weight.
Then
I went to college and gained my Freshman 15 plus some! I really started
to notice that my bad eating habits were catching up to me. I got
married at 25 and I had my first baby at 27. I gained 45 lbs. I went
from 130’s to 196 the day my son was born.
For
2 years after my son was born I struggled with my weight. I was in a
very dark and depressed place in my life. The one person in the world
who I counted on for so much in my life passed away one month after I
had my son, my Dad. I had no idea how I was going to survive it, he was
EVERYTHING to me, I was a complete daddy’s girl.
My
depression was so bad, it was combined with post partum and the passing
of my dad. My hormones, weight and life was spinning out of control.
I went to the doctor to see if there was something I could do to feel
better. They took a blood sample and found out I had Hypothyroidism.
It was very off and causing a lot of my depression, crazy moods and
inability to lose weight.
After
I was able to get my hormones balanced I started to notice some weight
loss, but it was still very difficult. I was up late one night and saw
an infomercial on a home workout called Brazil Butt Lift and I had to
have it! I wanted my body back and a Brazil Butt of course! Lol, so I
ordered it.
I
didn't know how to lose weight since I never had to before. I wanted to
find a way to get in shape that wasn't a quick fix. I wanted a
lifestyle change. I was able to get back down to 140lbs which was
awesome!
Then,
I had my second baby and I gained it all back plus some. I was 206 lbs
when I had my daughter. I struggled with post partum depression again
and it developed into more depression for 2 years after. I felt like I
had lost who I was, I stayed home day in and day out and never wanted to
go anywhere. I cried everyday feeling overwhelmed with the kids,
housework and poopy diapers. I never really wanted to go out or do
anything. I really felt worthless and I was desperate to find a deeper
purpose for my life.
I
knew that if I could work on my diet and exercise more I would feel
better. I started small with taking walks around the block. I was
completely out of breathe just doing that. Then, I decided to do
crunches while I watched tv, squats while I was doing laundry and other
housework. I eventually started finding workout videos online to do and
I got stronger and started losing weight again. I made a decision to
just keep going and not focus on my weight, just focus on being healthy.
Then
I found another home workout that was even better than Brazil Butt Lift
and worked for my mom schedule (only 30 minute workouts), a simple
nutrition plan and a support system to really help me stay accountable.
I
felt awesome, and wanted to help others. So I started coaching women
(and a few men), and other moms just like me to lose weight, get fit,
gain confidence and create a lifestyle change. I started coaching in
Feb. 2015, and I've been doing that ever since! I have never had a job more fulfilling than this! It has
been life changing!
