What a Difference a Year Makes

These two pictures were taken a year apart.

Pic on left taken LAST year. At that time was tired, had low self esteem, crabby ALL the time, ate food to hide my feelings, & HATED how I felt in my clothes.

Fast forward to NOW & picture on right I have: ENERGY, confidence, POSITIVE ATTITUDE, happy, & eat to FUEL my body. All of this thanks to 21 day fix. It CHANGED my life!

All of this from doing 30 minute workouts, eating clean, and drinking Shakeology daily.  It has given me a whole new, HAPPIER perspective on life.  And I'm paying it forward to help others feel as GREAT as I do.
