Being My Brand

Ok, so I'm sure people will wonder, who the H is this Chick, and why does she even have an interest in Beachbody? Well, here is the low down about me:

I was a competitive swimmer since the age of 6, all the way through 4 years at a Division I University. Growing up, I never had to worry about what I ate, working out on my own, or any of the things I now struggle with. I was in the pool for 4 hours each day, lifting weights, as well as circuit training. I would literally eat a row of double-stuffed Oreos as a snack, and somehow lose weight. It was seriously the life!!

That's me holding the Trophy! 

Once my college career was over, I stupidly continued to eat the same way, and workout about 1/38784 of the time I was used to. Needless to say, I found myself 30 lbs heavier, sluggish, and very unhappy with what I saw. I found my savior, Shaun T and Insanity, and worked out like a mad woman. I ended up losing all the weight super fast, plus some. The down side: I wasn't eating right, and the minute I stopped doing my insanity workouts, the weight came right back on. The yo-yo weight I have struggled with has been nothing but annoying and frustrating. After seeing numerous Facebook "friends" getting a hold of their lives and maintaing a healthy lifestyle, I decided it was finally time to take hold of my life. I want to be the one who motivates people to better themselves. I want to feel amazingly energized. And most importantly, I want to feel better and more confident in my own skin!

I decided to write out characteristics of myself and develop "My Brand." So here is a little about me:

I am 25 years old

Fun-loving, hardworking, but gets anxiety about the silliest things

In love with my family, friends, hiking, festivals, being out on the water, wine, and tacos :)

Absolutely loves Rom-Coms, and new obsession of the History Channel (what?! Who am I??)

Horrified people will judge me for doing this
