My journey with Cancer

Cancer FREE 3 years

Today I wanted to write about something different than the normal recipes and fitness tips. I wanted to share a little more about my personal journey with cancer. I May of 2011 I was diagnosed with 2 primary cancers, one rare and one aggressive. But that is not where the story ended for me. If process to recovery was a difficult one at times, but August 2, 2011 was the date that the tumors were removed. I wouldn't know until a few days later but was then told that "no residual tumor" was left after the second surgery. 






After that one would think that I lived life to the fullest and was thankful for every moment, but that is not the case. I lived in a bubble of fear. I cried a LOT. I was absent in my own family. I ate, gained weight and gave up. One day I looked in the mirror almost 2 years later and realized that I no longer recognized the person looking back at me. That was the day I decided to fix it. 

I dusted off the copy of Insanity that my friend Kim had given me and I pushed play. I printed out the schedule to follow and I never looked back for 63 days. There were times I laid on the floor in my own sweat and cried. There were times I yelled out during the workouts because parts were so hard. My son actually asked me if I was dying! My point is that starting a health journey can be soooo hard in the first few days and months. I lost 17 pounds and 12% of my body fat during those 12 months. I began to feel alive inside again. I had support from a community of Beachbody coaches and others who used the program. 

After that was over I knew right away that I wanted to do the next program by Shaun T that came out called T25, so I signed up as a Beachbody coach myself, with T25 and Shakeology, to  help others feel the way I felt! Let me tell you, that by far has been the best decision of my life thus far! I get to spend my days checking into my support groups and helping others on some of their hardest days and on the flip side, celebrate with them in their greatest victories!

I moved on to do the Ultimate Reset,  Chalene Extreme, 2 rounds of the 21 Day Fix, P90X3, 3Day Refresh,and now working through Piyo. 





These programs are what have given me my results to date and what drive me to help others achieve the same. I encourage you today to check out the links to the videos I have attached to see of any of these programs could help you. If you are feeling alone, sad, scared, I am here to help with that fear!
