I am Brooke King, a health and fitness coach on a health and fitness journey. I grew up playing sports at the highest levels and never had to worry about my weight, although I was never "skinny." Went off to college and was a party girl, gained the freshmen 15 plus some, continued with the party life style after college, moved to suburbia, got married, and had my babies. I was the queen of the yo-yo diet for as long as I can remember. If it existed I tried it and usually had pretty good success. See I am pretty damn stubborn so when I set my mind to something I will usually be successful. The South Beach Diet, Adkins, Weight Watcher, diet pills, you name it! When I got pregnant with my son I actually lost weight because I had to put the wine down ha! Shortly after he arrived I was pregnant with number 2! Two C-sections later I had a lot of leftovers. Unfortunately for me I am not one of those women that came out of the hospital in my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans, quite the opposite and the C-sections didn't help. After my daughter was born I was feeling awful about myself and the way I looked. Someone that was usually strong, and fun, and confident was everything but. I was sad and depressed and took everything as a direct insult to me. My husband ordered T25, when he told me I got pissed he just spent another cent on home videos, we already had a bunch, but he assured me T25 was the hottest thing on the market right now. January 2014 we kicked off the new year doing the program together in the basement every morning. Day 1 I completely fell in love with Shaun T, then I found out he had a husband, talk about bummer haha!! But he is the best trainer I have ever seen or touched (yup at Summit '15) ever. It's like he was in our basement with us, motivating the shit outta me to do this workout, and by the time I was done with my excuses it was over and I felt awesome the rest of the day!! Together Eric and I lost a combined 33 pounds before we went to Mexico that March!! It's really true that once you see results you become addicted.
Upon our return from Mexico the 21 day fix was being launched and I was feeling so monnnnay from T25 I made the decision to become a coach and share my journey with the world in hopes of inspiring other momma's that might be able to relate to my situation. My first round with the 21 day fix was April 2014 and my life was forever changed. All because of these cute little containers I got my life back! I lost 12lbs and 14.5 inches in my first round of the 21 day fix, with my first ever challenge group of friends doing it with, and never turned back. The accountability of a coach is what keeps me focused. Sure I fall off but I have my network to bring me back!
I am loving this journey, the people I have met and helped along the way, and the new lifestyle my family is living. If you are interested in joining me, PLEASE DO! You won't regret it and in fact I am pretty much guarantee you'll be in love too!!
