Back in October of 2014 I started taking tamoxifen to reduce my risk of breast cancer. Among the side effects listed, I have to admit that the potential for weight gain was one that scared the hell out of me. Gaining weight seems to get easier with each year, while maintaining or losing weight is so much more of a challenge. I've been determined to not let tamoxifen win. And so far, it hasn't.
I've kept running over the past year, have created a little gym in my home, andhave incorporated various Beachbody programs into my routine (21 Day Fix, PiYo, and 21 Day Fix Extreme). And since August of this year, I've been working out 5-6 days a week and feel healthy, fit, and strong. I've been a part of challenge groups with my sisters Erin & Paige where I've met wonderful people from across the country who've been supportive and encouraging. I love that I can erase the stresses of my day by popping in a DVD and exercising for 30 minutes. I love having eating plans that help me take care of me. I love having Beachbody on Demand so I can do my workouts when I travel. I do this for me. For my husband. For my daughters. I do this because I'm not going to let tamoxifen win. I do this because I believe life is too damn precious and short. And I'm sharing this because life is too damn precious and short. I'm always here for any questions you may have, just message me. Give yourself a gift for the holidays. Take care of you-for your loved ones, for yourself. Life is too damn precious and short not to. xo
