About Me and Why I want to Blog

My name is Maria, I am 25 years old and I am living in Alaska.  In August I started to change my life for the better. Now that I am having amazing results, and having an amazing time, I want to help others. My journey began when I tried on a wedding dress and was mortified.  I have always gone to the gym and tried to be somewhat healthy, but I didn't want to be in this 'just okay' purgatory any more. So I tried Shakeology and Country Heat... and it was amazing. I lost 12 pounds in a month from following the meal plan, drinking shakeology, and dancing my butt off ( or should I say my pounds off). When I saw the results, I knew that I wanted to make this life commitment and help others.  It has always been my passion to help others and workout, now it was time to combine the two. I am now down to 126 ( I was 125 in high school). At my worst, about 2 years ago, I was at 180. I took a massive step then to change my life health wise, and now that I am at a different level, I took another step and I am amazed. I am so happy and a lot of that has to do with my Fiance too, but being healthy has this funny side effect of making things better.  Recently, I am exploring new recipies, new benefits to natural foods, with a little supplementation on the side.  Yes, I am an independent Team Beachbody Coach, and yes I want to help you through Beachbody work outs and shakeology and I am always here to be your coach, but this blog is to help people learn new things, follow along with a health / fitness journey, and look at pictures of Alaskan beauty and dogs ( because who doesn't love dogs).


Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I hope to bring you help.
