Welcome to my page and the beginning of YOUR journey!
Hi! My name is Erika! I am from a northern town in NH but currently live south of Boston, MA with my boyfriend. I am a Travel PACU Registered Nurse, an absolute shopaholic, and a true mountain lover at heart!
I am SO excited you’re here and to share my journey with you! If you’re anything like me, you’ve tried countless diets, you’ve tried going to the gym but never sticking to it, and you’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food and your body.
Being an athlete for as long as I can remember, I’ve always been active. Softball became my love early on in life and I played throughout high school and some in college, but I NEVER liked working out. I didn’t like it in the off-season, and I didn’t like it when it was required in college. I always felt self conscious when I was there like people were judging me and I mainly felt lost when I went to the gym.
A year and a half ago I was 30lbs heavier than I am currently, and just about cried when I looked at myself in the mirror. I was working as a new grad nurse, still adjusting to moving to a different state, going out to dinner all the time, and drinking whatever I felt like. I HATED how my clothes fit, how drained of energy I was, and hated my eating habits. My mental health was at an all time low and I could feel myself slipping back down the path I did in high school and college when my eating disorder reared it’s ugly head.
In the early spring of 2019, a friend of mine sent me a link on FB to join Beachbody and to join a 3 week challenge. It was perfect timing as in 3 weeks I was heading on a tropical vaca and wanted to look my best. Little did I know that it would be THEN that I would fall in love with the process and journey of this program! I loved the results I got, I loved the ease of following a 30 minute workout from home, and loved the meal plans laid out before me.
Most importantly, it made me feel like me again! My mental and physical health were stronger than before and it made me realize that I wanted to help people that were feeling the same way I was prior to my journey! My goal every day is to constantly work on becoming a better version of myself BOTH mentally and physically, so that’s what I’m here to help you do, too!
I have chosen “YOU do YOU” as my team name because this is all about YOU and your journey. This is about what YOU want to do! YOU have the ability to choose what program to do, and about reaching whatever goals YOU are striving for! My team is all about empowering one another, radiating positivity and to give you the guidance and reassurance that we are all in this together!
So, if anything I said above sounded familiar to you, like somewhere you’ve been before in your life, then all you have to do is swipe to join my team! YOU got this!
~Xo~
