My name is Lynsey Gould. I am 24 years old & I currently live in Michigan with my loving & supportive boyfriend Justin, & our 2 year old fur baby Astro.
I first and foremost am a follower of Christ. I am so blessed to have been raised in a family where I was shown and taught the love of our savior at a young age! I have been raised in church and in a Christian home my entire life but never really had an intimate relationship with God until I was 23. My life was forever changed the day I decided to step into close fellowship with the lord. I found a home church that not only teaches the gospel but they love on their community and people the way God has called us to do. I found a small group of believers who has helped me to grow in my relationship with the Lord and has helped me find a way to live every day with a purpose for our heavenly father!
I am also a college student. I have been attending school part time for the past 5 years working toward a degree in Occupational Therapy. I have had to work my way through school so it is taking me a little longer than I would have liked! I just turned my application in for the Assistant Occupational Therapy program at Baker College. I will find out in a few weeks if I was accepted or not so I very anxiously await to hear the news! I have dreamed of working in the field of Occupational Therapy since I was very young & cannot wait to dig in and make my dreams a reality! If accepted I will graduate in May of 2018.... FINALLY!
I currently work full time as a Marketing Representative and Supervisor for a Homecare Company. I have been with them for almost 5 years. On top of my full time job for Homecare I am a Health and Fitness coach through Beachbody. Something I never dreamed I would be doing because trust me, leading and coaching is not something I am comfortable doing but boy does God surprise you! Beachbody coaching has completely changed my life and has turned into my PASSION.
I started my journey with beachbody in June of 2015. I had reached a point in my life where I was mentally, physically, and emotionally just DONE. I worked from 8-5 and then I would go straight from work to class from 6-10, 4 days out of the week. I NEVER ate a home cooked meal. I had fast food for every meal Monday through Friday. And workout? ha, I didn't have time to even think about it let alone actually take time to go to the gym and do one!
Needless to say I was sluggish, unhappy, moody, insecure, and my life was a MESS. I had gained nearly 20 pounds in two years and one day I couldn't take it anymore.
I was getting ready for work one morning and realized not a single pair of pants fit me anymore. Not even my BIGGEST pair of scrubs.
I was horrified.
I had noticed one of my best friends who I hadn't talked to in a while.....because oh yeah I didn't have time for the people I loved anymore either..... had been posting her workouts on facebook!
Well after 3 months of seeing her workout posts I came across her transformation post and I was sold!
She had lost 50 pounds in just over 3 month by simply working out for 25 minutes at home and drinking a chocolate shake every day!
I messaged her literally the next day and asked her to sign me up!
After talking with for a few hours we decided that the best program for me to start out with was the 21 Day Fix!
It was 21 Days of a fool proof eating plan, nutrition guide, 30 minute home workouts, and drinking my daily dose of dense super foods with Shakeology!
Easy enough right?
Those 21 Days changed my life FOREVER!
Not only did I learn what clean eating was but how important it was to my entire being. I was learning how to take care of my body which is something I had never done before. I also learned to fall in LOVE with working out.
I know it sounds crazy but when you see your body do things you never thought possible it starts a fire in you.
When the first 21 Days was up I had lost 10 pounds & 10 Inches. I had gained a confidence I had never had before, and most of all I learned to love myself again!
I decided on that last day. Day 21 of the program that I was going to do whatever it took to help at least one person feel as good as I did! So, I signed up as a coach.
Here I am a year later and I still love this company more and more every day!
I am so grateful for the opportunity Beachbody has presented me with, to not only change my own life but change the lives of so many others as well!
I can proudly say today that I have helped over 30 people on their health and fitness journeys and continue to grow that number every day!
Good job! So proud of ya!
