Get Fit Feel Fab Sue Peters

MY STORY:

I'm your average every day mom just trying to make a difference in myself and the world around me. I wasn't always fit nor did I always eat the way I should. My life has changed for the better since I found my passion in living healthy and fit. It has been an amazing yet difficult journey:

 

My journey began in 2005 when I was pregnant with my daughter and I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I was active when I was young but never ate healthy and it caught up with me. It was eye opening and I'm actually thankful for it because it brought me to where I am today. I was able to change my lifestyle "just enough" to remove medications but little did I know high cholesterol and hypothyroidism was breathing down my neck. It was a very slow moving journey to figuring out what I had to do and I was alone in this endeavor. I had nobody to turn to for what to do and, unfortunately, my doctor just wanted to throw medication at me rather than help me resolve the actual problem. 

It felt like year after year I was growing as a person and becoming more and more successful at making food my medicine. It was liberating and it felt amazing. But, in 2014 when my doctor put me on hypothyroid medication I honestly believed that was it-I'm stuck and will be on this for the rest of my life because I can't change this part. I was wrong and yet again I stepped up my game and in early 2015 I went off of my meds and I feel truly amazing. Unless you can experience it for yourself you can't imagine the tremendous joy it feels to accomplish something like that. I honestly felt like I won the lottery. 

Today-I'm never perfect but I do my best to eat clean, stay active and I still have many goals to achieve in this part of my life. The difference now is I no longer feel alone and I know I will get there. Becoming a coach has allowed me to surround myself with like minded people to keep me motivated and accountable. It has also given me an avenue to share my success with others who struggle with the same thing; the power in this is so incredible. The road getting here was long, exhausting and included many many tears but it's been worth every moment. I've tried a crazy number of workouts over the years and found my best success with Beachbody programs-not always following the program exactly yet still getting results because they simply kept me active and engaged.  I believe in the programs they have, I believe in Shakeology and it's many proven benefits, and with Beachbody's help I know I'm a much better, not to mention healthier, version of me!
