My journey to the new and me and new mindset.

As far back as I can remember I have had issues with my weight and my self esteem. I started out my child hood with being bullied and being called names that would stick with me forever. As I grew up a bit I started to thin out, BUT the names had been ingrained in my thinking that I could'nt see myself as anything more than over weight and fat. I started playing volleyball in 7th grade and played 365 days a year until my freshman year in college. I started to get in shape, looking back I cant believe how in secure I was. I was BEAUTIFUL! Before games I would stretch my jerseys over chairs so they were not super tight, i always covered up as long as I could until I didn't have a choice but to get on the court. I played volleyball all over the United states and because of my self esteem and my aim to please I pushed my self so far my volleyball career ended with me in the hospital un able to walk because in my mind I was not good enough and I had to push myself to be the best. I ended up creating a degenerative disk disease in my back, along with having a few open vertebrae because of the high impact I continuously put on my body. Once my athletic days were over, I met a boy. Long distance relationship turned into dating, then into marriage. Once we were married the happy pounds started piling on. I wasn't in sports anymore and I was a wife going to college. After we were married about a year I started to do something about it. I started working out, going to Zumba classes every day for 2-3 hours. Going to bootcamps on the weekend and on the day I hit my 40 pounds lost goal.... I found out I was pregnant. In the beginning I didn't gain any weight at all. Not even at 27 weeks no weight gain. I got towards the middle and the end and the weight started piling on. I gained 86 pounds. I was disgusted with myself completely. I just had a baby and went into post pardum depression because I was unable to breast feed. I had so much pressure on me to do that, but yet I produced nothing. About a year and a half later I looked in the mirror and realized how much I had let myself go. My husband wasn't attracted to me anymore, we were on the verge of divorce. I knew I had to make a change. I started working out and eating right again. I lost those 86 pounds. I still didn't feel good. I felt better and I was gaining confidence, but something was missing.
I was approached by someone and they asked me if I had ever thought about become a coach and helping other people get motivated to lose weight as well. I was all in and knew I had a place to serve. I love helping others with their goals and dreams. I was introduced to 21 day fix and fell in love. I live everyday to serve others and fulfill my mission to spread the word of the gospel while I help them reach there fitness goals.

For many years I only thought lemon was meant for dessert recipes or just to put in your water. I always opted out. Once I got pregnant the only thing that kept me from getting sick was to eat on lemons. Once I started my weight loss journey i started looking into things that would help with bloat and digestion problems and everything led me to LEMONS!

After doing research I found that lemons help with SO MANY THINGS!!!!

I was blown away at how this small little fruit could help me. SO I started to put it in my water and starting getting more energy in the morning. I will say its pretty tart. I put some honey in there or even put lemon with my hot tea and and some honey to help with it tartness of the lemon water. It made a world of difference in my life.
