Welcome!

Hello!

My name is Sarah, and I'm so excited to share with you my journey to greatness--as it's happening! I'm not saying I'm not already great, cause guys, I'm pretty great. (I kid of course;)) I just believe there is always room to grow, room to improve, to learn, to be better, love stronger, and to give more.

I am a believer, saved by grace, a wife to an amazing husband, a mother to two gorgeous little girls, and we're currently living a day to day adventure in Mexico! And yes, my Spanish is still awful, but with lots of room to get better!

I grew up living and breathing soccer until after college, and fitness was never fitness. I was just doing what I loved, and boom- I was fit! I didn't understand how someone could let themselves get so out of shape, when it wasn't hard to be in shape. It felt so effortless. I swore up and down that I would never be that mom who was struggling to be fit, who wore mom jeans, who had a muffin top. Well folks, pride comes before the fall. Here I am today, that mom. However, now I have a totally new understanding about how easy it is to not work out, because you only got 3 hours of sleep last night-and every night. How hard it is to even think about working out when you hardly have the energy to shower or change out of that shirt with dried spit up on it. Plus you're breastfeeding, so you get like an extra 6,000 calories, right?

I struggled with fitness after college, and a few years before I even became a mom. I was that girl who treated Google like a magic genie, searching for that one thing I could eat or rub on my tummy that would evaporate fat, thinking it must be out there, hoping it turned out be a cheap household item I already had! And why hasn't anyone capitalized on it yet? Well it is out there, it's just called 'work'. So I'm finally fixing it. I found Beachbody, and have become a coach, which drives me everyday to be better so I can help other people reach their goals. I love to be able to encourage people, and see the absolute joy that exudes when they start seeing changes they've only in the past hoped for.

It's also important for me, to do this right. I'm being so careful to make this journey about health, energy, giving, sharing, and not vanity. It's hard though! It's so engrained in us to want the "perfect body". I won't lie and say I don't get excited when I'm losing inches, but I want to set the example for my girls that the important thing is to love your body, and treat it well, exercise it, fuel it. I want to show them that they can push the limits of what they think they can do, and give them confidence. I do not want to engrain in them that they need to be skinny to be beautiful, because that is just simply not true.

So there it is! I'm excited about all of the adventures that await my family, and I'm putting in my effort to live a long, happy, healthy life. Contact me if you'd like to jump in on this crazy journey with me!
