"She Believed She Could So She Did"
When I started coaching in April I sought after friends and
co-workers who might be crazy enough to join me on the 21 day fix journey. I
loved the change and wanted to show anyone and everyone how great they could
feel if they joined me. I made my first official call to action and invited
anyone who wanted to join me on the journey and sign up for a challenge group.
As one might expect I had many, many “no thank you” messages and many I’ll
think about it later replies, some simply ignored my messages and then I had
some “YES I AM IN” messages. I started with 12 people who were ready to take a
leap of faith and give Beachbody and the 21-day fix a try. As of today I can
say that I have been able to help 76 people so far get on track to a better
life. To say it has been rewarding would be an understatement, instead I will
say it has been life changing. I am a better person because of these people.
Today I want to share with you two transformation stories
that are near and dear to my heart. I am proud of all of my challengers but
today I want to spotlight two who believed in this with me from the beginning.
I will start with Traci. She is one of my co-workers and
teaches health education. We knew each other at work but not very well. I was
surprised when she messaged me about possibly being interested in trying the
21- day fix. I suggested we meet over our lunch period and chat about this and
see if it might be something she wanted to try. I will be very honest with you;
I was very nervous to meet with her, she is a health teacher and I am a
business teacher, lets be honest she knows more about nutrition that I did at
that point. The meeting went well and I truly believe that she saw this program
would work. Traci had the education on how to be healthier and fit she just
needed someone to walk her there because life had gotten in the way of her
journey. She was worried about having the time for all of this because she was
a busy working mom. After many conversations she soon learned that in order to
be a better mom you have to become a better version of yourself. Traci had
another teacher that joined our group as well who was a partner in crime and truly
was her accountability partner and I would say best friend lately. It has been
fun to see them hold each other accountable and get towards their goals. The
two are now within 5 lbs of the “dream weight” they set out to achieve.
Traci like many of my other challengers is obsessed with
Shakeology and has been drinking it regularly since she started this journey on
April 14th. Because of the challenge group she has learned to say no
to temptations and keep her goals in mind. She has not fallen off the wagon at
all. Not even for a day, in fact she has not taken a rest day since we started
this spring. Now that is dedication! She has also went back to running and
placed 2nd in her age group this weekend in the Arts Fest 5k in our
town.
Traci started the journey at 144 lbs – She now weights 125
lbs. She has also lost 22 inches overall. She went from a size 12 to a 4. She
did the 21-day fix for 3 rounds and has been doing Body Pump as well as running
to achieve this. She will be the first to tell you that getting back is shape
is a lot of damn work but it feels so good to achieve the goals!!! Traci, you
inspire me, thanks for being brave enough to join me!
My next challenger I want to spotlight is Kim. Kim is my yes
girl. She is up for everything and is always so positive and determined. The
very first day I signed up to be a coach I walked into the school where my son attends
and told her my crazy new plan. She looked at me and said “I’m in” just like
that. I was astonished that she was ready to believe in my so quickly but she
did. I am so thankful that she decided to join me. She kept telling me she was
ready to make a change and boy was she ever. There has not been a day go by
that she has not been kicking her butt and sticking with this. If I had to make
a poster child for the 21 day fix out of all of my girls I would pick Kim
because she TRULY LOVES the program!! We tease her that Autumn the trainer in
the video is her girl.
Having Kim in the group has been fun but what was even more
fun was that I got to see her every single morning as I started my day. I would
drop my son off at his school and she would be there almost every day bright
and early with her Shakeology in hand and smile on her face. She made me
believe that I truly was helping to make someone’s life better. Her positivity
was a great start to my day each morning. Because of Kim I have also received fantastic
referrals of challengers whom I may have never met on my own. She is the queen
of referrals but takes no credit for it. I keep telling her she should be a
coach but she prefers me to do the coaching for now. Without her I would not
have been able to start my business as strongly as I have so far. For that I am
forever grateful.
Kim went full speed ahead with not only changing her own
ways but also the ways of her family. If you are a mom you can attest that this
is never an easy task. It is one thing to change your own eating habits but to
bring your family on board with you takes determination. Her children will now
grow up in a house the values clean eating and exercise. How lucky for them.
Kim is working on her 4th round of the 21- day
fix. While the rest of my beginning challengers have moved on to new programs
Kim still loves the fix and is sticking with it. She ordered the upgrade DVD’s
for a change up and as I mentioned before is our 21-day fix poster child. She
did the Shakeolgoy cleanse to break thru a weight loss plateu around Easter and
also did the 3 day refresh this past week. Not only does she love her shakes
but she also swears by E&E -which is Energy and Endurance- a pre workout
drink that BeachBody offers.
Since our April 14th start date Kim has lost 13
pounds and 7 inches total. She looks amazing and has abs that most women her
age would kill for. In fact let me just say most women regardless of their age
;)
I am excited to see what program she picks next – replacing
her love for the fix will be tricky!! Kim keep up your hard work – when you put
your heart into something you really can achieve it!
If you want to be just like Traci and Kim message me to secure a spot in my upcoming challenge group: S.Griffith27@gmail.com
