Still Smiling

Alright, So here is an update for everyone: (Since I was really annoying with my Vote For Me status updates...LOL) I did not win the Beachbody Challenge Quarterly Contest... but I do want to say CONGRATS to the winners!!! They are both amazing people with amazing stories of their own and everyone who was in the Beachbody Challenge Contest were already winners in my eyes because we have all gained our health and have become more confident people out there to inspire others!!!! So CONGRATS again to the winners of the contest!!! You guys ROCK!!!! Keep pushing play, keep leading the way, and keep inspiring all of us!!!!

Next thing:  I apparently was not annoying enough with my posts (BEWARE IF I EVER GET IN A CONTEST AGAIN..... BWAH HA HA) Just kidding.... or am I????  Hee hee hee...

I am so incredibly blessed in my life...I have lost 90 lbs.... my relationship with my husband is amazing...I have a beautiful, healthy daughter who loves to work out with me and that makes me feel so good that I am setting a healthy example for her to follow!!! AND best yet... I can actually do things now without getting winded or feeling like I am going to die!!!! So Woot Woot for getting healthy and fit!!!! Thanks to my Amazing coach as well Megan Gutke who is truly an inspiration herself!!!! Love you girl!!!

Now it's time to keep pushing play, to NEVER GIVE UP, and to reach for my dreams this year!!!! Did you know that my goal is to have Beachbody pay my bills for me??? Yes...that's right... I get paid to be a coach on top of helping others to become healthier and happier!!!! Woot Woot!!! What a great company that I get to work with!!!

The next best thing now...is working on building up my team of amazing coaches to help me end the trend of obesity and help others to live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives!!!!

I am currently taking on 3 new apprentices (Join the Dark Side...Bwah ha ha) to join my team and see if coaching is a good fit for you. So contact me today and let's see what we can work out together!!!

The Truth behind the SCARS!

Some of you may be wondering "WHY" I am posting my before photo (again)... LOL but it's because it has come to my attention that some of you may think I have "cheated" my way into the Beachbody Challenge and I want to set the record straight!


I pride myself on saying that I have accomplished everything naturally through eating clean, Shakeology®, and exercising with fitness programs such as Insanity, Focus T25, and P90X!!! And I have lost 90 lbs....YES... 90 lbs. doing this naturally!!! It is a lifestyle change people....not a fad or a diet!!!!


I have NOT had any weight loss surgeries or lap band procedures or anything of that sort!!! However, in my before picture you can see some scars... I am not ashamed of those scars....nor do I have anything to hide... Ask me anything and I will tell you the truth...I am a straight shooter like that... LOL


My scars, and yes I have many, are from having my gallbladder removed not long before this picture was taken!!!! I have had a total of 6 surgeries in my life and you can ask me about all of them!!!!
Believe me when I say....you CAN achieve your dreams and you can do it the RIGHT way!!!! No fads, No diets, No surgeries ( I have not even had a surgery to remove excess skin....and yes... I have excess skin people...LOL).... just eating clean and working out and making it a lifestyle change!!!!
You can do it!!!! And I am here to help you however I can!!!!

And I also want everyone to know...that in life you will have people who support you through thick and thin and you will have the haters that try to bring you down, trash talk you, and try to break you..... How you react...and what you do.... should not be because of the haters!!!! Don't listen to them...surround yourself by the positive and the people who support you.... and to the haters... tell them to "BRING IT"....because its not going to stop you!!!!! It hasn't stopped me....and I wont let it!!!! :) :) :) You can do it.... We can do it together!!!

Lifestyle Changes

Did you know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to?

Well....you can!!!

I use to "Think" that I would always be the "Big Girl on the Block", that I would never really be able to lose a lot of weight, and that I would most likely be a diabetic and not be able to do much because I had already had 2 back surgeries. I was depressed and couldn't, or I guess wouldn't, do much to try and change my lifestyle. I would eat whatever I wanted because I believed that it wouldn't make a difference anyways.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!!

Four years ago I had a beautiful little girl come into our lives and she changed my perspective and she gave me more than just a reason to change....she became my "WHY" I should change!!!! I wanted to be healthy, happy, and most of be able to keep up with her. I did not want to her hold her back...like I already felt I was doing to my poor husband who enjoyed doing a lot of activities but never would because I couldn't do them with him. I did not want to be a DREAM KILLER for my daughter. I wanted to be her hero...her example... the one she would always look to!!!!

So I decided it was time to make a change!!!

My friend contacted me and introduced me to Beachbody...and I decided to commit to her challenge group and give it a go.... Besides everything else I had tried never seemed to work and I was on my last straw with giving up for good..... She asked me to try Brazil Butt Lift... so I gave it a go!!!!

I lost 70 lbs.... 70 lbs... with Brazil Butt Lift!!!! WOW!!!!  I became addicted to Beachbody and decided I could do so much more!!! So I tried Les Mills Combat...then I moved on to the one program I feared the most.... Insanity!!!  Needless to say... not only did I complete Insanity but I moved on to Shaun T's next program and did Focus T25!!! Boom Baby... I just keep getting better and better... I am losing more weight...I am gaining more muscle... I have more energy, endurance, and strength!!!! So I move on to P90X!!!! Blown away... My muscle definition is AMAZING now and guess what.....

I have now officially lost 90 lbs..... WHAT????  Yes.... 90 lbs!!!!  Can I get a Woot Woot!!!!! I am so beyond proud of all that I have accomplished and I no longer tell myself that I cannot do anything... I tell myself.... YES YOU CAN SO DO IT!!!!!  I have so many dreams and goals this year and it's going to be amazing!!!  And on top of all of this... I won the Beachbody Challenge Monthly Contest in October 2013 and now I am in the Beachbody Challenge Quarterly Contest!!!! Eeeekkk!!!!  LOL

I have been so blessed and I am healthier and happier than ever!!!! And more importantly... I no longer feel like I am holding my husband back from doing the things he loves...and I know my daughter will be able to do whatever she wants without her mother slowing her down or having her be embarrassed of me!!!!

Becoming a Beachbody coach was just the next step to continue on this path... I want to help others to realize that they can reach their goals too!!! Even to have one person say..."because of you, I never gave up" means the world to me!!!!

So I just want to say thank you to Beachbody, to my amazing coach Megan Gutke, and to my wonderful family (my husband Casey and my daughter Alli)... all my other family members, friends, and Beachbody family.... You guys are all amazing!!!! Thank you so much for all of your love and support!!!!

My Transformation to Date

Yes... I know... I am terrible with my blog...but this year I am setting some serious goals for myself and will try to keep everyone updated as much as possible on all social media channels that I do... which include Facebook (www.fb.com/RadForDFitness ) on IG: Rad_For_D_Fitness and my YouTube account....can you guess what my name is there... LOL... Rad For D Fitness.

Anyways... so far to date...I have been with Beachbody since July 2012 and a coach since February 2013 so almost a full year and a year and a half of doing the programs... and I just need to say I LOVE Beachbody!!! This company has the products to help you get healthy, fit, and as a coach I earn an extra income to play around with (like going on a cruise in March.... EEEEk....my first one ever and yes I am totally stoked). During this time frame I have done several programs including Brazil Butt Lift (Leandro is still my main man and I am a total nut every time I meet the guy), Les Mills Combat, Insanity (on my second round of that now), Focus T25, and I just barely finished my first ever round of P90X. I also drink my Shakeology everyday!!!!  I use to weigh 220 lbs. and now I weigh 130 lbs. YES...you read that correctly.... I have lost 90...let me say that again....90 lbs. BOOM BABY!!!!  Never say that it cannot be done... I have done this all the healthy natural way...no surgeries...and am the healthiest I have ever been...at 30 years old... Yes... I am 30... LOL!!! 

Once again... I LOVE Beachbody and my amazing coach Megan Gutke for supporting me and getting me started with this amazing company!!!  I LOVE paying it forward and it warms my heart to hear people say that I inspired them in some way or helped them to achieve their goals. That is what this company and us as Beachbody coaches are all about... and I am so blessed and grateful to everyone!!! So Thank You.... and I hope that I can inspire so many more to live healthier and happier lives!!!

Contact me today if you are wanting to get started on a program or if becoming a Beachbody coach is something that you believe fit's you!!! I can guarantee.... it is worth it!!!!
