With so many changes and craziness going on in our lives, our move, the pregnancy, changing jobs... ect I have not really realized just how healthy I have been.
I went from healthy active Amie to that "SICK GIRL"
always missing school and unable to play
You see as a 4th grader I became very ill. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me for a long time until I went to a specialist. It turns out that I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. After being put on rigorous antibiotics I did get better.... however from then on it always affected me.
I had to be very cautious about getting enough sleep or else I would relapse and all my Lyme symptoms would come rushing back and I would get sick for days.
Lymes greatly weakened my immune system and if I was around anyone who was sick, forget it- I WAS TOAST! and not to mention I would get it 10x worse!
In fact I would get sicknesses that doctors literally couldn't even put a finger on. My tonsils were constantly infected and would often swell so much I was in excruciating pain to even swallow my own spit.
I could go on and on....
In more recent years, I have had chronic sinusitis and due to all the inflammation of my tonsils as a child my tonsils have gone bad, and now have craters in them that so lovely now form tonsil stones.
Not to mention I suffered for years with migraines, lows in my blood sugars and horrible digestion.
Last year after spending lots of time and money in the Ear Nose and Throat we collectively decided that it was time to get surgery. I needed to get my sinus passages cleared and get my tonsils removed.
I was still nursing our second son, so I decided to wait until he stopped to get the surgery done.
In the mean time, last Mach (2013) I came across Shakeology.
I did extensive research on it, since pure, high quality foods are very important to me.
After looking up testimony after testimony I decided to give it a shot! After all what could it hurt!?
Beachbody even offers a full money back guarantee if you don't feel the affects, so I thought honestly what did I have to lose?
So almost a year ago to date, I took the plunge and decided to give this Shakeology stuff a shot!
To be honest, I was a skeptic, but I knew I needed something to change because my health was horrible (even though I ate properly and worked out) . I was only 25 and had two kids to be chasing after- I didn't have time to be sick!
So here I am almost a year later, and have completely taken my health for granted!
Like I mentioned, this year has not been simple or easy!
I lost my job, started my own business adventure as a beachbody coach, my husband was promoted so has more responsibilities, we got pregnant with our 3rd, became home owners for the first time, completely renovated and moved all over Christmas. I also now have become an Insanity Instructor, so I teach 3 times a week. Not to mention all the craziness with the kiddos.
But with that said, I honestly haven't had the time to really sit and think about how fortunate I am to have my health back!!! I have not been sick free like this since before 4th grade!
It dawned on me last night while I was laying in bed, how many times I was sick just last year. I was literally sick for 5 months straight, in and out of the doctors offices constantly.
And as of right now, I cant remember the last time I went to the doctors.
I never went through with my surgery because I have not had tonsil stones, or any sinus problems. Which I am beyond thankful for! (although I am sure my ENT isn't so happy on missing out on thousands of dollars---haha)
My headaches are virtually gone and my energy has sky rocketed. (minus being 8 months pregnant and not getting good sleep!!)
My digestion that was horrible before, and doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me- is now completely normal!
Who knew that drinking one drink a day of this superfood packed powder called SHAKEOLOGY could change my life so much!
I can not tell you how THANKFUL I am that I decided to give shakeology a shot. And really stick to it! I may not have thought the taste was the best when I first started, and it did take some time to really see and feel all the benefits of it.... but I decided that I was going to stick to it and really give it a shot to see if this was going to help my every day life!
To be honest, I would never go back!
I wish I had discovered Shakeology way before I did. I could have avoided so many sicknesses, and days where I couldn't get off the couch, or take care of my kids.
I could have also kept a lot more money in my pocket, rather than shoveling it out to all kinds of doctors! WHOMP WHOMP So its simple.. Its your choice!
You see I was doing all the right things on paper. I ate properly, and I exercised daily. Yet what I was doing did not reflect my health.... Why?
Because there are so many nutrients our bodies still lack. There is so much QUALITY nutrients our bodies cannot get from the food we have today. With pollution, GMOs, Chemicals, Pesticides, Herbicides... ect ect....... Our healthy food lacks so much of the nutrition it once had.
Shakeology fills in those gaps and truly feeds our body the highest quality nutrients it needs!
MY HEALTH and life is too precious to live feeling sick all the time!
Don't you agree!?
So if your ready to make a change, and get off of the crazy health cycle----give shakeology a shot!!
