View Coach Marie’s Beachbody Coach Profile
After years of a toxic lifestyle and her battle against medical issues such as severe tension migraines, gynecological issues, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, ADHD and anxiety/depression, Marie was introduced to Beachbody by Coach Chritgo late in the summer of 2009. She started with P90X but due to her relocation from FL to NJ, she was unable to complete the program.
The beginning of 2010 was when everything changed for Marie. Without her doctor’s consent, she decided to slowly to wean off all her medications and do a more natural approach – mainly with her ADHD and migraine medications. She was put on ADHD medications primarily due to poor concentration and forgetting major priorities (paying bills on time, missing appointments on her calendar, deadlines at work and freelance gigs, being indecisive with her career path and life in general). There was no focus and her path in life was not going on a road that she wanted. She then decided to make a huge change with not only her physical being, but also mentally, spiritually and financially. She organized her life by making to do lists, prioritizing deadlines and appointments, and making use of a calendar. She always carries around a small notepad in case she has to jot something down so that she doesn’t forget later on. She also taught herself breathing techniques and yoga practices when she needed to be calm.
Marie started with a program called Insanity and vowed to stick to it for 60 days. She was also more cautious with her nutritional intake and went all natural, all organic, and primal while on her high intensity workout program. She also drank Shakeology everyday. She noticed a difference with her energy level and felt healthier and lighter since then. With the small decisions and changes that she has made, her migraine spells have been non-existent for months and after her completion of Insanity she weighs 140lbs, fits into size medium shirts, single digit dress sizes, and size 26/28 pants!
