Shay’s Story

My name is Shay Jordan and I am a stay at home mom of 2 under 2, some days I do think we were a little crazy. I love my kids but I know that I wasn’t meant to just stay at home with my children, I felt kind of crazy, like I didn’t have a purpose. Don’t get me wrong, a mom raising her kids is the most amazing gift we can give a child, but I also needed something for me, for my sanity.

After having my daughter I went through a pretty rough postpartum phase of crying everyday, wondering if I made a mistake. Chad wasn’t able to stay home with me for more than a week and I knew I wasn’t okay just going in the motions.  It was hard, what was I supposed to do?

A friend of mine told me about this 90 day challenge that she was participating in and that the shakes were amazing. We had talked about it a few months earlier and I just didn’t think anything of it. I knew that I needed something to jumpstart me, something that would help me feel pretty, give me energy and not just feel like “a mom.” I had lost myself in being my kids parents – what happened to Shay?

Without talking to Chad I joined Visalus, I figured the worse that could happen is that I would get more protein and since I am breastfeeding, that wouldn’t be so bad right? It was the best decision I made. Within 2 days I felt more energetic, more of my old self, my goofy self and even though I am my kids mother, I am me. My dr talked with me and said I could stop taking the zoloft and I feel happy and more energetic. Chad even noticed a difference in me and when he told me that, it made me feel good knowing that I was getting back to myself again.

Don’t get wrong, there are days I would love to sleep in and I have no energy running after my son and taking care of my daughter. Those days are the minority now and I feel amazing. I want to share that amazing feeling with you.  To see my 1st real 90 Day Challenge results, check it out here. Not bad for giving it a half-assed effort huh?  Imagine what you can do it if you it 90% effort.  I hear sexy being brought back in your future ;)
