About Me

Hello Everyone!!
My name is Candice and this is my page featuring my journey to get back in shape (The best shape EVER!) post pregnancy! Through out my early teen years and into my young adulthood I always had body issues. I tried every diet and workout plan you can think of but could never stick it out...thus ending up with very little results. At 27 I had my first child, which goes beyond any experience that life has to offer. But I did what every classic new mom tends to do...Eat for two! But..I'll be honest; I think I ate for ten! My 5 foot frame really took a hit with my carelessness. I gained between 50-60 pounds with the pregnancy and was left with awful stretched skin... I felt more self conscious then ever.

Little did I know, Beach Body was already IN my life and I just didn't believe in myself to take it on. My boyfriend was killing P90X (and I have NEVER seen someone as flexible as this guy before in my life! Not to mention the sweat that would get THROWN at me - Literally, as he completed the workouts!) I tried to join in, but just continued to lag and procrastinate. Then it happened. Baby #2! Pregnant again with a one year old. I kept telling myself, I am NOT going to make the same mistake with my eating......January 6th I gave birth to another precious bundle of joy...and had gained yet another 55 pounds with my pregnancy. In addition to weight gain and even more significantly was the stretched skin I adopted. I knew that something had to change in my eating, and that I needed a workout program that would really kick my butt - as well as transform my baby belly body! ...

Seeing the success my boyfriend had with P90X I decided I needed to take action and really commit to a lifestyle change. I looked up youtube video's of Beachbody workouts and transformation stories and decided I needed something with intense cardio...and decided to order INSANITY. I also decided to give Shakeology a try, being a VERY picky eater this was adventurous of me. I had tried my boyfriends protein shakes which resulted in expected yuck faces but couldn't ignore all the rave reviews of Shakeology. When I received them I was really successful in my clean eating and Shakeology really played a HUGE role in curbing my late night sweet tooth and I cant lie, chocolate Shakeology literally tastes like heaven or my interpretation anyways!

AND it's filling and good for you! Bonus!!..
I committed to doing my Insanity workouts but was still slacking a bit on giving it 100%. From April to July I did workouts here and there, giving myself excuses like " I have two kids, I dont have the time" .."I'll start it fresh tomorrow" ...Come July with my half assed attempts I still managed to lose more weight and inches then ever before. I went down THREE pant sizes! Even my friends raved about my results and how good I looked! And I FELT good!
...and was happy and PROUD of the person I saw when I looked at myself in the wedding photos.

 Then I came back home....and literally threw it all away. I went on a binge....I stopped working out, strayed from my clean eating and ultimately in 1 month was right where I had started.
Today I have something I did not have before. Proof. That I CAN do it.

I am picking myself back up, more motivated then ever to commit to living a happy healthy and active lifestyle! I have a wonderful support system with fellow BB coaches and it really makes ALL the difference! And I want to be a part of sharing MY experience and journey with other women/mothers just like me!

We ARE human right?!) but the important thing is to PICK YOURSELF BACK UP!  I am creating a WHOLE NEW lifestyle for myself and in doing so I am leading a life of positivity and FUELED with new found CONFIDENCE!
