Ive been up since early this morning getting some work done, prepping for my next challenge group, and responding to messages from some incredible women that are making changes! All this BEFORE peanut wakes up! A few months ago you wouldnt have caught me dead at 5 something in the morning getting stuff done. My entire life my family has had to turn lights on, pull covers off, and practically have to hook me up to an IV of straight coffee to get me out of bed in the morning (ask any of them, Im owning up to the truth) LOL. Yes, becoming a mom you have to get up earlier than you are used to, but to get up BEFORE the toddler wakes up!? Ummm maybe that other super energetic mama that gets everything done before the sun appears, but never me! .... I have never gone to bed with anticipation and woke up excited about something in my life (except my wedding day, and when Nate called me for the first time for a date;). Until coaching came into my life! Here I am with my hot green tea, laptop, piles of notes, goals and worksheets...and Im loving every second. Do I have to put the time in? nope. Do I want to? Absolutely. Because I have found something Ive become truly passionate about. I want to put the work in and see the results. Ive found something that makes my heart happy and my energy flow! I started coaching for the discount on Shakeology®. I loved it and knew it was something I was going to want to keep drinking for the long haul. I thought well, Ill hopefully be able to just get it paid for each month with coaching, but I dont think I will want to do much more. But then I got introduced to my team, Mamas with Muscles. The energy, positive atmosphere, encouragement, the motivation... It was infectious. I told Nate that I thought I wanted to try coaching and see where it goes. I was so hesitant... Im a nurse, I have a degree, people will be like huh?, its a scam, I dont have time.. You name it, it ran through my head! ;) But, we decided to try it for 3 months. If it didnt seem like it was working or I didnt like it, there was no penalty to quit. So why not!? Im still here, Im still coaching. I have found my motivation. Ive hit success club every single month for 6 months. Ive been able to supplement our income more than we thought possible and still rising. Ive met the most incredible and inspiring women from around the world. Ive lost 25 pounds and still going. I gained enough courage to start training for my first half marathon. Im more positive and energetic then my family has ever seen me. Im now building my own incredible team of ladies, and am not far away from becoming Diamond Coach status. And yes, I wake up excited to do it all over again every day. I know its a God thing. Im becoming the woman He has seen all along, I just never knew the potential that I had for something totally out of my comfort zone.... Its become a passion that I plan on fueling and taking to the top. I dont feel as if Im floundering anymore! Im ready to run with life, and be the best version of myself possible. Its such a freeing feeling to do something I love, that makes a difference to others and enhances my own life! I know without a doubt that God has placed me right where He wants me. Why coach?...well I think you get the idea;)
