My Story

First off, I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Cheyenne and I have been a Beachbody Independent Coach for little over a year now.

Why did I join Beachbody?
I joined Beachbody for the same reason most people do; I saw the infomercials. While I was up late feeding my infant son early in the mornings I would see shows about P90X and Insanity, they were having success, why not me? I want my body back, too!
After weeks of watching the same infomercials again and again I noticed that a friend of mine on Facebook was a "coach". I had no idea what this meant but decided to send her a message. I learned that not only does Beachbody sell programs, it also employs coaches to guide people through their health and fitness journey, be motivation and get paid for it! Win!
At 7 months post-partum with my first son, whom I gained 87, yes, EIGHTY-SEVEN, pounds with, I had not only gotten down to BELOW pre-pregnancy weight but could see my muscles again and if in pants I wore in high school!
Go ahead, tell me that's what you want, too! You may not have baby-weight but maybe somewhere along the line you've gotten married and comfortable, gotten a sedimentary job or just lost focus of a healthy lifestyle! That's okay! It's not too late to take back control of your life!
It's NOT EASY! I will never tell you it was easy, what I will tell you is that it was WORTH IT!

Where am I at now?
I am 8 weeks post-partum with my second child, have had 2 C-sections and an emergency hysterectomy all by the ripe old age of 22.
Let me give you a little run-down of why I know you can take charge of your life and your health.
I've had 2 C-sections, like I said above, but my second birth was nowhere near average. I woke up 2 days later in ICU, not knowing anything that had happened. I was still hooked up to a ventilator and was absolutely terrified, but not as terrified as I was when I learned what had happened. During my routine C-section my doctor had commented on how thin my uterus was, okay no big deal, she stitched me up and I headed to recovery with my 7 pound 11 ounce baby girl. Within minutes of arriving in recovery, I started bleeding and continued bleeding through the night. By the next morning I had received 5 bags of blood products and was in excruciating pain. While a nurse was checking on me I started feeling lightheaded, I looked over at the monitors and my heart rate had dropped to 40/20. That was the last thing I remember, I fell unresponsive. They rushed me to the operating room where they learned that my uterus was so thin that the stitches had ripped right through my uterus and I had a blood clot the size of the whole left side of my abdomen that was literally saving my life. The clot was so massive that it was holding pressure on the rips and slowing down the bleeding. I had a total hysterectomy and while I was still open, my blood tests were showing that I was still losing blood, but there was no blood in my abdomen, that's when they discovered that the main artery in my pelvis had ruptured and I was again, bleeding out. It took hundreds of stitches and over 25 units of blood to save my life. I spend 4 days in ICU, 2 of which were in a medically induced coma and 2 days in L&D. I astonished all of the doctors and surgeons, they all believed it would take weeks for me to be ready to go home. I wouldn't accept that. I wanted to be able to hold my babies and go home.
Currently, I'm 8 weeks post-partum and hope to be released soon. Its been a rough time, I'm on a massive amount of blood thinners due to a DVT that I got from the receiving blood products so fast and then being sedimentary for days after, its been a long and rough journey but imagine how long and rough it would have been if my body wasn't as healthy as it is. I believe that I was able to recover so fast because of my determination and my love of fitness.
Now if that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will.
I am on day 3 of T25, modified of course, no jumping for me.
