Gratitude...Word of the Day!

It hit me this morning while I was in the middle of HIIT 20....3 years ago when I purchased Power 90 to gain some strength back after a surgery I never dreamed I would be where I am today!! I am so grateful for everything I have achieved through Beachbody!

I am making peace with my body and inspiring others to do the same. I am helping others achieve their best health and fitness. There is no greater gift to me than the glowing happiness of someone who has just achieved a goal they have been working so hard towards and knowing I helped support that person. That always makes my day!!

Financial freedom! WOW is the only word I can use to describe it!! Achieving it for myself and helping others do the same is truly a blessing!! Financial freedom means different things to different people. To me financial freedom means not having to worry. I have worried for far too long about finances and money and making it...all of that worry wreaking havoc on my health, mentally and physically. Financial freedom to me also means the stress melting off of my husbands face as he begins to realize the burden is not all on him!! That, to me, is priceless!!!

And lastly, my physical transformation...which goes along with making peace with my body. I won't lie, it has been a rough road that I still struggle with mentally. But Beachbody has given me the tools to deal with that! For the first time I am ok with ME. That is so liberating!! But another component that I often forget about it is the strength that I have gained through the programs. I purchased Power 90 coming out of a surgery that left me weaker than I'd ever been, partially disabled and in chronic pain. My only hope at that point was to gain back SOME strength. Well....the other day I was lifting 40 pound bags of wood pellets!!! 3 years ago I couldn't even lift my own laundry!!! SO THERE!!! And you know what? I still deal with the pain but I know that the strength that I have gained will get me through it. I feel best when I'm working out...that is pain free time for me, and again, something else that is priceless to me!!!

The journey for me has only just begun and I can't wait to see what it has in store for me!!!
