WHY - "Filled to Spill"

A little bit about my journey to becoming "Filled to Spill."

In August 2014 I had hit what felt like was a brick wall in my journey to better health. I was worn out and tired most of the time. Discouragement was taking over. After trying a couple different diets and cleanses that really did not give me the results I was looking for I had just about had enough of even trying. I know and believe that it’s NOT all about a number on the scale or size of my jeans but I didn’t even feel healthy. I knew I was functioning much lower than my best. It was like trying to keep my head above water just barely surviving. I wanted to lose the last 10-15lbs of “baby weight” after number four YES but even more I just wanted to feel better! I wanted to feel better for myself for my husband and for my family! I was working out consistently but still not seeing the results I knew I could get. I felt like I had tried EVERYTHING and nothing was working. I was chatting with my good friend Rachel and she mentioned a challenge group she was joining the next day and I thought, “why not?”. Little did I know this challenge group would change my life in so many more ways than just health and fitness! : )

I contacted the coach leading the group (a complete stranger to me) : ) and told her a little bit about my journey thus far and my most recent struggles. She welcomed me to the challenge group and asked me if I wanted to take it to the next level and try the 21 Day Fix. I had actually heard about this very program from a couple of my other friends and knew I was ready for all or nothing! I would go ALL IN but if this didn’t work I was OUT! - DONE!!  I had some money from my Birthday and combined with a little stash I put it ALL IN! I joined the group, purchased a 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack. 30 minute workouts, simple eating plan and replaced one meal a day with SHAKEOLOGY. 21 Days later I couldn’t believe the success I had! Honestly, I went in with low expectations that were BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER!!!! I lost 8 out of the 10lbs I was trying so desperately to lose, my pre-pregnancy jeans fit, I stopped “needing” my afternoon nap with the kids and I felt aaaaamazing! In fact I felt so amazing I decided to join my new friend’s team and BECOME a beachbody coach myself! I wanted to share this feeling with everyone! I want everyone to know they can feel as amazing as I do!

Fast forward almost 3 years and I am not just some crazy sales rep that drinks Shakeology and posts a Workout everyday. Yes I do those things but it’s SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT! I believe God has given me something that I am PASSIONATE about to use as a way to serve others. I am no longer the tired, worn out Mamma I feel filled to overflowing and want to be intentional with that spilling. Beachbody has CHANGED MY LIFE plain and simple and I want to share this so that everyone can feel as AMAZING as I do! It’s not just the encouragement that keeps me close to other positive inspiring people & consistent with my own progress but a motivation to continue learning, growing and changing as I share my journey with others! I’m not perfect, not by a long shot but I’m much further than I was even 3 short years ago and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I am seeing God challenging, leading and guiding me to turn this from simply a hobby of running challenge groups for mine and my challengers to stay accountable into a business opportunity where I am bringing on other coaches to mentor and train to do what I do and spread this amazing feeling even further! For me this coaching journey isn’t about making money(oh the weekly paycheck are nice don’t get me wrong) but the confidence I hear in my challengers voices as we chat over the phone, being able to share what I am learning with other busy wives, mothers and friends. The daily encouragement and drive they give me, cheering each other on as we take one step at a time to crush those big goals and use our bodies to be the best God designed them to be THAT is what I do this for! I guess that’s what you would call “My WHY that makes me cry.”

If your looking to take the next step on your journey to better health and could use some encouragement and support. I would LOVE to chat! Whether it’s coaching that peaks your interest and your thinking about paying it forward encouraging your friends and family or you’re looking for some friendly accountability for yourself. I would be more than happy to give you more details. I run groups monthly posting each day something to drive us forward to success and also work one on one with people not quite interested in a group setting. Shoot me a message friend! I LOVE to chit-chat about how we can work together to help you get where you want to be. Filled To Spill, Katie : )
