My story!

Before my health and fitness journey started, I was living in New York City, working my way up the corporate ladder at Dow Jones. I enjoyed my job but knew there was something missing. I had absolutely no passion for what I was doing. I wanted to help others but also have a successful business. I was a bit lost to say the least. But was hopeful that I would find my gig. 

When I moved back from New York City to Portland Oregon and became a spin instructor! I was ADDICTED to spin and loved how I was able to motivate others! A year later and 8 classes a week I was put on five medications for overworking out and not eating well. I trashed my body on the inside. I smoked to lose weight, drank way too much and struggled with binge eating. 

So I needed a change. I was NOT going to have to take 5 medications for the rest of my life. Scrolling through social media one day I saw someone I went to high school post about portion control, clean eating and getting paid to get healthy.. I was IN! Skeptical, but IN! I needed a change and this was it! 

In 6 months, I was able to go off ALL my medications. I lost 31 inches. 8 pounds and gained my health back! Through the virtual community, I gained my life back along with several other ladies who wanted health just as bad as I did! 

It's been such an incredible journey! It hasn't always been easy but its been worth it! And I hope to inspire others out there who want to find something that gives them passion, that they TOO can have their health and live a lifestyle by balance!

Coffee updates! FOOD CRAVINGS

Yesterday I posted about spicing up your coffee and I had a hit this morning by putting coconut oil in my coffee and with dairy free coconut creamer. It was seriously delightful! Not to mention its great for you, it has been said that if you consume coconut oil your metabolism increases throughout the day! Try it :) Let me know if you have done this before. Also, I found this interesting! I crave foods that I should not be eating ALL the time, this list totally makes so much sense. I will give it a try and let you know what I come up with. I crave sugar mostly so I really need to dial it in on what to put in my body when this happens. Normally, wine does the trick but does that count as fresh fruit ;)         Here is the article if any of you want to read more in-depthly!   http://www.herbs-info.com/blog/what-food-cravings-are-telling-you-about-your-nutrition/
