Here's a bit about me and my journey :)
I have struggled with my weight for most of my life; I was heavy in school and was teased all the time until high school when I had had enough and decided to lose the weight. I lost 60lbs one summer and when I returned to school no one recognized me! I was able to maintain that weight and felt fabulous.
Nine years ago had my first son and gained
80lbs with him. When I was pg I met my coach Brittnae on a message board
and we became friends.... I struggled losing the weight but then I decided
enough was enough and lost the weight.
I then decided to become a personal trainer to
help other new moms. I trained clients at parks, in their homes and opened the
2nd boot camp in orleans (at the time there was only one other one!) with my
dad. I was in amazing shape and I helped a lot of people! I then found out I
was pg and then at 19 weeks found out we were having twins! I continued to
train my clients and workout. I ate sensibly but wanted to make sure my babies
were a good weight when they were born and I gained 65lbs. I had to stop
training clients at 28 weeks and the most I could was walk to the mailbox.
After I had them I started exercising as soon as I could!
When my twins were 6 months old I was in a bad
car accident and my left ankle was crushed. They operated on it and I had to
get 12 screws and 2 plates put in (they are still there) and my dr told me it
was likely I would never run again. This broke my heart. I became very
depressed and felt sorry for myself. I was at home with 2 babies and 4 year old
and couldn’t even do the simplest tasks. I then stopped feeling sorry for
myself and started to lift weights in my wheel chair and become as mobile as
possible.
I was following my friend on her journey with beachbody coaching and knew this was something I wanted to do! But it still wasn't available to Canadians!
A year after my accident I was able to run and
started teaching a boot camp. I was also working full time but then going back out at night after being gone
all day was too hard on my family. I had looked at other network marketing
company’s but just couldn’t join them because of how they were encouraging people to
lose weight and get healthy. I did a lot of research about beachbody and knew
that because they encouraged eating well and exercise to reach your goals -
this was the company for me!
On Oct 1, 2012 Canadians were allowed to sign
up as coaches! I remember getting the text from Brittnae the week before and I
almost died! I was one of the first coaches in Canada to sign up and I have
never regretted my decision since.
Being a coach is allowing me to continue my
passion for helping others on my time and when it’s convenient for me. I don’t
have to be away from my family and I earn a very good part time income!
This isn’t a business where you can sit back
and expect to make a lot of money. You do have to work for it but you can pick
your own hours and decide how hard you want to work.
Everything I have learned I pass down to my
coaches, I give them the knowledge and the tools they need to build their own
business and make their dreams a reality!
When I started as a coach I knew I wanted to
help others and grow a team but didn’t really know the direction I wanted to
take.
I have struggled in the past year trying to
come up with a team name and have been racking my brain for a long time trying
to figure something out. I had so many ideas but none felt just right. I wanted something that shared who we are,
that we are real, that we have curves, that we are not perfect, that we indulge
with wine, chocolate, etc, but we take care of ourselves, we do our best to
find balance and make the most of our lives.
So this is how ‘The Perfectly Imperfect Fit
Gals’ happened!
The Perfectly Imperfect Fit Gals:
• We are strong
• We are real
• We struggle to drink enough water every day
• We like wine
• We like chocolate and pizza and fries and
donuts and cake and burgers and candy
• We exercise for at least 30 mins a day, 5-6x
a week (so we can indulge with chocolate, pizza and wine)
• We have and will likely in the future eat
candy in a closet where our kids/spouses can’t see us
• We like active wear and messy hair but are
always presentable when we leave the house
• We embrace our curves
• We do our best to be healthy
• We can spend hours on pinterest and lose
track of time and don’t feel guilty about it
• We like salads. Yes that’s right, we like
salad
• We let our kids watch tv and sometimes eat
fast food
• We have homes that are messy but clean
• We take time for ourselves
• We grow and strive to be the best person we
can be
• We do not talk negatively about ourselves
(or anyone else)
• We embrace our flaws
• We can and will help others whenever we can
• We are real. We are gals. We are making our
dreams come true.
This past January I became a certified fitness nutrition coach so I can better serve my clients!
As a coach I help women and men across north America
be healthy and active with at home workout programs that are created by
Beachbody. In this type of opportunity, teamwork makes the dreams
work! I LOVE seeing my coaches have success. That is where so much of my
passion lies, helping people live their lives by design and creating financial
freedom for themselves and their families while doing something they love!
If
you decide you want to be a coach on our team—- you are in the amazing hands! I’ve
created systems and trainings that you’ll have access to from day 1 in order to
help you learn the ropes and build a solid foundation in this business and
you’ll have ME there to mentor you every step of the way. The sky really is the
limit. If you have a passion for helping others, learning what we do as a team you will be a LIFE CHANGER! Starting with your own:) I can’t wait to
