Ready to run with me?!


This past week I have been thinking a lot about coaching with the annual Beachbody Summit quickly approaching, and I realized that I talk a lot about my physical transformation but not a lot about my transformation from nurse and mom to coach!

When I decided to become a nurse, I mainly picked it for the flexibility so I could be home with my future children as much as possible while still providing for them... I thought my job was flexible, but working all night and holidays and weekends quickly got old...

 In my "real" job as an RN:


- I work all night
- I am up for 36 plus hours at a time at least once a week (I worry what this will mean long term for my health, I hate that I am in... a fog some days)
- My income is limited to the hours I can be away from my girls and what some one else thinks I am worth to the company
- My job is stressful

 

In my business:


- I work when I want, for how long I want to
- My income is directly related to the amount of people I help
- I can work in the car, in my house, during nap time (basically any where and at any time)
- I am changing lives daily
- I work with a team of women that I admire
- My income potential is literally LIMITLESS!
So, when you look at $592 a week, yeah maybe that does not seem like a lot - but then you remember that I made that in a 10 hour "work" week (it would have taken me 21 hours in my nursing job to make that, plus the commute time, parking fees, etc) I made this money with consistent effort during nap time, before the girls woke up, or maybe just a little here and there... I can not imagine what this will look like for me in 6 months or a years time, but what I do know is that my life is forever changed and my family is forever grateful...
 
 
 
 
 
For Aubrey's 5th birthday, she added every last "add-on" to the party package! And for once, that was okay... for once I didn't have to charge the party and I could say yes to the pricey party, add ones, and giant cake (for only 8 girls!)... for me this was a big victory - I've always struggled with having to use a charge card for the extra things in life, but today was just another step closer to freedom without sacrifice!
Coaching has blessed our lives in more ways than we can imagine - it has pushed me everyday to be better, it has kept me accountable in my personal fitness journey and it has given me a financial opportunity that is almost unbelievable!

 

So you might be thinking - "Could coaching be for me?"

  • Are you motivational, driven and passionate?
  • Wanting to help others while on your own fitness journey?
  • Meant for something greater?
  • Are you desiring financial independence for yourself and your family?
  • Are you wanting to live life by design - working where you want, when you want and how you want?
  • Are you willing to make short term sacrifices for long term gains?
I am looking for 3 women to join me! Women who are go getters, motivated, ready to change their lives, and go to the top with me.. Please fill out the application below if you are interested in hearing more about this amazing opportunity...

More than inches lost...


Erin Traill, diamond beachbody coach, 21 day fix, t25, Autumn Calabrese, Shaun T, shakeology, dramatic weight loss, weight watchers, before and after photos, fit mom, fit nurse, pittsburgh


Starting this journey, I had a lot of doubts - I had tried to drop these pounds a million times on my own... I've done Weight Watchers, fad diets, joined a gym and odd ball nasty cleanses - part of me wondered if this would be any different... I had a big goal, and I was trying to beat the odds against me - a busy mom, small budget, not a lot of time and a thyroid condition that is notorious for causing unwanted weight gain...

Erin Traill, diamond beachbody coach, 21 day fix, t25, Autumn Calabrese, Shaun T, shakeology, dramatic weight loss, weight watchers, before and after photos, fit mom, fit nurse, pittsburghOne day, in a dressing room 14 months ago I had a break down - literally broke down, in public - As I collected myself, I looked down at my girls (who at this point looked scared) and I thought, "How will I ever teach them to love themselves and their bodies, if I can't even love my own?" In that moment, I distinctly remember looking at myself in the mirror - face to face - and promising that today was the day... A little (probably way to honest) backstory, when I found out I was pregnant with Aubrey, I wanted so badly for her to be a boy - I could never imagine myself as a mom of girls... I had always struggled with poor body image, poor self confidence and self esteem and I never wanted to "pass that down" to my daughter - finding out she was a girl was  challenging because I didn't think I would be good enough for her - But through this experience, I realized these girls came into my life to save it... Every time I wanted to give up, give in, skip a day - I looked at them and kept pushing harder. They make me want to be a better person, they are that driving force, the heart beat...

Erin Traill, diamond beachbody coach, 21 day fix, t25, Autumn Calabrese, Shaun T, shakeology, dramatic weight loss, weight watchers, before and after photos, fit mom, fit nurse, pittsburghWhile I wouldn't say this was always easy, there was not a moment I regret - with results like this in 30 minutes a day, who could regret anything? I started in a challenge group which is closed group on Facebook, where my coach helped myself and others like me on our journey - I learned about clean eating, fitness tips, how much water I should drink, how to order off a menu, basically how to make this a lifestyle change and not just a quick fix... I was negative at first, my stomach hit off my thighs as I workout out, my body craved sugar and carbs, I was out of breath - but I promised myself I would do this, 60 days fully committed... as time went on the workouts are easier, my energy levels improved, the cravings disappeared and I was getting real results.... A lot of times people ask me what I owe my success to - and there are a lot of things - dedication, support of the challenge groups, coaching, my girls... but I would have to say it is Shakeology - Shakeology gave me the energy, cut my cravings, it was a healthy meal that I didn't have to think about, it helped with mood stability and depression, and for once in 10 years my thyroid levels were more stable than ever... In the middle of the day when Aubrey wanted lunch and Kate needed this and life was crazy, I could have a quick on the go lunch for myself in less than 2 minutes! I went from napping on the couch when Kate napped to having enough energy to play with Aubrey, workout, clean, and just started feeling like myself!

As the weight started to come off and I could see a glimpse of the "old me", I started getting myself back - for years I put everyone before myself... I hated how I looked so I stopped getting my hair done, I stopped buying nice clothes for myself - and once I started losing weight and feeling more confident, I started putting myself on my priority list...  It is so crazy that how I started this process thinking spending 30 minutes on myself was selfish, but it ended up being the best thing I could have done for my family, because they got ME back!

And although I know my body isn't perfect, that isn't what these pictures were about - today was a celebration, celebrating the perfectly imperfect, turning my mess into my message and beating the odds...

This literally just happened - WOW!

Today was without a doubt the day I dreamt about 14 months ago - actually probably longer, I just never really thought it would be possible for me...

As I promised at the beginning of the year, I took my bikini after photos along with a "fit mom" session since the heart beat behind my transformation are my lovely ladies... it was such a fun and rewarding experience after 14 months of dedication to the process...

Little trouble maker ;)

 When we came home I did my measurements and tallied my inches lost- as I calculated them I started becoming overwhelmed with emotion as I realized my total losses are 74.6 lbs and 64 inches!!! Are you kidding me?! 64 inches is a 5 foot 4 inch person!

And although I know my body isn't perfect, that isn't what today was about - today was a celebration, celebrating the perfectly imperfect, turning my mess into my message and beating the odds...

And how did I get here?! Simply the power of challenge groups, sense super foods, 30 minute in home workouts and a specialized meal plan...
