Hi there! My name is Aimee Lee Wynn, welcome to my page! So good to have you visit :) I am truly not your *typical* fitness junkie....but have become one the past year! :) I am SO excited to share with you how this wonderful, life-changing (and life saving!) change came to be! :)
I have been struggling with weight my entire life...and not just a BIT a weight... a whole extra PERSON of weight! I started out this Journey a bit over a year ago at 337 pounds! Kinda crazy I am sharing that horrid number here on the Internet for all to see, but I feel it is important for those visiting my blog here to know it. Thanks to finding my *soul-mate workouts* I am now down over FIFTY pounds, and have truly become ADDICTED to fitness! When I miss a day due to illness etc., I MISS the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual boost that it gives me! My day no longer feels complete without a great workout! I CRAVE that, instead of filling my mouth with foods that were only keeping me feeling trapped, depressed, and unable to see any possibility of the future I want for myself!
For anyone who grew up knowing me, they would tell you, that is a complete about face from the *old Aimee*. :) ! The current Aimee, and the woman I desire to be in the future is so happy the *old Aimee* finally got up off that coach, stopped making excuses to herself and got to work! Physical activity has never been easy for me. I have had a chronic sprained ankle since I was about 13 (I am 36 as of this writing), a knee that had a meniscus tear and has had surgery, and still has an ACL injury. On top of that, I injured my *good* ankle with a hairline fracture a few years ago with a klutzy trip down the stairs. * sigh*. ;) Both ankles are always wrapped up during exercise and modifications are often done due my ankles/knee and size. ( Beachbody is WONDERFUL with having a modifier present in their workouts! Such a crucial thing!)
Even WITH those limitations... this lifestyle change has become a permanent fixture of my life!!! My hope in becoming a fitness and wellness coach via Beachbody is to encourage everyone, but most especially those of you out there with weight and/or limitations that you might have felt would prevent you from pursuing health that you CAN do this! I am living proof!!!
I am SO very excited to be part of the simply AMAZING Team SOS..my fellow coaches and I are all here because we desire to see you succeed and find something you come to LOVE doing everyday that will help enrich and change your lives for the good! WE have found that elusive element that has helped us each personally, thus why we became coaches. Feel free to ask any of us about our individual journeys!
One final thought I would like to share: Fitness is not just about your body! It is a mental, emotional, and spiritually transforming act as well. It is combining all those elements of who you are, and fighting for the person you may have had hiding inside to bring that person to the surface. You all can do this!! Let's Fall In2 Fitness together and see how amazing we feel as time goes by!
A few little tidbits about my non-fitness related interests if you may be curious! :) I ADORE animals, my best friend/roomie and I have a few cats, and her beautiful golden retriever mix Rylee. I am ADDICTED to music, especially ethereal, intense sounds in the minor key ;) . I am a musician myself, trained to sing operatically, and also play a bit of guitar. I am in love with the art of photography, write poetry and am an artist as well. ( I may occasionally post related to those on my personal blog @ http://turbobearfit.blogspot.com/ ) The greatest blessings in my life, are my Lord Jesus, my friends and family, and being able to lift others up in prayer and encouragement. ( and on that note if that is something you ever would like, I am always willing to lift you up in prayer! Just feel free to jot me a note!:) .
Bless you each on your individual journeys, and SO good to have you here!!!! :)
