New journey

It's been a really long time since I have posted anything on here.  Since last time,  life has gotten pretty busy for an addict like me who has never lived life on life's terms before. Big question: "am I still clean? "

Yes,  I am.  And not only am I still clean I have embarked on a new journey in my life.  During the process of recovery,  I have gained more than 20 lbs! Some look at me and say "girl, you're tripping!  You look good! " The polite thing I always say back is "thank you".

What some fail to realize is that,  I am not used to being 20 lbs heavier! I prayed,  whole-heartedly one night and God answered my prayer! My answer went by the name of Melissa and she introduced my to Team Beachbody.  For a month so far,  I have been working out and eating clean!  My diet has changed and I having seen amazing and miraculous results!  I have lost 5 pounds and probably many more inches.  Eating clean has afforded me more energy,  clearer skin,  a more toned body,  and I haven't had one of those nasty headaches I get everyday!

There are so many spiritual rewards that come with it as well.  I am building a better relationship with my body which is extremely important to the self-esteem.  Yes,  I was comfortable with ME and the person I have become but my body image messed up my head a lot too!  I knew I want treating my body like the temple it is and in turn, my health started taking a turn for the worst.  I couldn't figure out why after walking up only 2 stairs I was breathing like I just ran a 5k marathon!

I am now a Beachbody coach and just like with my recovery,  I want to share with you guys what was so freely given to me!  My experience,  strength, and hope is a powerful tool to help others in need.  That is my purpose in life today,  "to help people achieve their goal to lead healthy fulfilling lives!
