I met Jenny Schultz by chance a few days after we
moved into our last home in Wisconsin. Jenny was on of our neighbors. I knew
her as a wife to Nick, mommy to toddling twins, Faith & Jacob, and a busy,
full-time accountant. We became friends on Facebook and caught up when we were
in passing in the neighborhood. It wasn't until Jenny decided to jump in and
join Team Beachbody as a coach and challenger that I really got to know her.
I've gotten to watch her transform not only physically but in her mind as well.
She grows more confident by the day and it is a wonderful journey to watch
unfold.
Here's a little more
background on this amazing lady:
Pre-twins,
she worked out regularly and was in great shape! A little over 4 years ago, the
life she was building with her husband was turned upside-down for the better
when their twins, Faith and Jacob, were born. In that moment, like so many other
moms, her life become about the kids first, her second. At the time, she was
okay with that.
People were always telling her
how amazing it was that she had twins and that she must be exhausted.
"Twins?! How do you have time for anything?!" Jenny started to believe them. She thought she had
time for nothing but work and babies, and that meant ditching her workout
routine. I was there to observe Jenny when she changed jobs from a firm that
she loved to one that would provide new adventures and hopefully better hours.
I think that might have been the turning point to her. According to Jenny, she
realized that she needed and wanted to be a better role model for the kids. She
knew something needed to change and realized that she had to put herself first
in order to become a better mom and wife. When I asked Jenny what was
going through her mind at the time, she told me, "I wanted more energy to play with my kids. I wanted them to grow up thinking being
healthy is the norm in today's world."
It was then that Jenny decided to
give T25 out and become a Team Beachbody Coach while she was at it! She figured
if she was going to do this then there was no better way to hold herself
accountable than to help others at the same time! 60 days into T25 Jenny has
already had an amazing transformation inside and out. When I asked her how she
finds time for it all - wife-ing, mommy-ing, working, coaching, and
transforming - this is what she told me:
"I am more determined than ever to make it
work. I always press play, no matter
what time it is. I realized I did have
time, I just had my priorities different.
I always had time to watch TV at night, to be on Facebook....yes I
didn't have time to workout? Yeah that
doesn't fly anymore. I press play no
matter what and I feel great after doing it!"
Jenny is down 9.5 pounds and over 13 inches in just 60 days. Check out these amazing transformation picture!!
Jenny is living, breathing proof that excuses are for the birds. She has very little time, has young, attention-demanding children, and works 40-60 hours a week every week! T25 is a program that is doable for most any fitness level and is done in 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Between the simplicity of drinking one Shakeology per day and spending 25 minutes per day working in front of the TV, Jenny has been able transform her mind and body. I am sure she already feels like a better wife and mommy because she finally feels good about herself again!
Way to go, Jenny! I am so happy for you!
