More than a physical change

 Woah, about to be super vulnerable here!!

So this is me, a year ago and at a weight of 212# (first picture) 😳

Stressed, not healthy mentally or physically, constantly seeking an outlet for my stress and it was alcohol. I was in a constant fight or flight stage. Taking care of everyone but myself. I own a CrossFit affiliate of 13 years, and I was just coaching... not even training, no mental capacity to make it happen. I was enjoying being social and 

suffering from an addiction I didn’t know I had. 

Alcohol was my stress relief... or just the answer for “cover it all up”. 32oz of beer at dinner and then half a bottle of wine when I got home was the norm. I kinda knew I had a problem but didn’t face it. I would hide glasses of wine in cabinet and walk by take a sip and put it away, so it wasn’t evident I was drinking again. I could drink a bottle of wine a day and be ok. Socially I way over did it. Emotionally it was what I went to... 

This last year has been so much growth, journaling, and prayer for me to move from this.  I started being active again and enjoying training CrossFit.

This hasn’t been easy and I’m not over this addiction. I’m learning to drink wine occasionally because I enjoy it,  not to emotionally cover up for something & not over indulge or the need to hide it. 

Today, 2nd & 3rd picture almost 70# lost... I’m not who I was a year ago; and I am still on my journey of wherever I’m going. 

I love my journey, I’m embracing it and I’m 💯 dedicated to it and to myself. 

Deciding to make a change whether it be nutrition, training, addiction to food or alcohol or what not... you have to buy in, be sold out and willing to embrace 100% of the time; and not when it’s convenient.  You need sold out support from your husband @greenregan, family, your friends and an amazing coach friend like I have in @gj.lake. 

This is me, this is real and I love all of you that are a part of my journey!!! Thanks for cheering me on, keep pushing me and challenging me to be a better JENN GREEN 💚
