Niki Pride
Hi, y'all, my name is Niki. I live in Texas, I am 43 years old. I'm a proud mom of five awesome kids. I have an eight year old, and I have six year old quadruplets. So that's four, six year olds. And it's so much fun. So, anyways, they keep me pretty busy. I'm blessed to be a stay at home mom. And so that's been great, and I've always been pretty active and certainly have to be active with five kids. But I was rocking along okay, I guess, until I turned 40, and then everything went to crap. And I know the quad pregnancy was really hard on my body as, had some health issues, and what since then, and anyways, I just started gaining like a lot of weight, and turning into this depressive person, and I just wanted to sleep all day, I was, anxiety, I never was very confident in my body, and I certainly wasn't now, I always emotionally ate, used food as a crutch or whatever, and anyways, it was just, it was a bad time. I was a bad mom and terrible wife, I mean just, I was miserable. So I decided to do something about it, and I went and I just started exercising and I stopped eating. So, I did that and I had an okay knowledge of how to work out, but I just stopped eating. I did that for a year and was like even worse at the end. And just even more depressing because I was trying to do something and, I don't know. So, worst confidence and everything, so I like hit bottom. And I was looking on Facebook and I saw Warrior Babe on Facebook. And you see a lot of other things, and I was like, "I don't know." So I had heard about Macros, but I didn't have a clue where to start. So I saw Nikki on Facebook and I was just like, "Wow, okay, this could be the answer." It was informative. It was just, and it's women, you know, they understand. So I was just like, "Wow, okay, this could be it." Anyways, we got it for me for mother's day, and it's just emotional because it really has honestly changed my life. Amazing. I was nervous cause I was like, "How am I gonna do this? How am I gonna do this with five kids and learn?" So you just do it. And I did it and six, eight weeks into it, I mean the pounds just melted off, like just had lost 14 pounds. It was amazing. And the people who were like, "Wow, what are you doing?" And I was happier, I didn't have anxiety. I wasn't depressed. I didn't want to lay in bed all day. I was a better mom. I could keep up with my kids. I had an energy and it changed my mentality towards food. Like I didn't use food for emotional support. I mean, I used it for fuel. And I was eating and it is amazing, it's life-changing. And I just, I have to say that it's there for you for the rest of your life. The community is amazing. The women are just there to help you, pick you up, everything. You literally have all the information right there at your fingertips. And something else, this is just so huge. I was doing this for two months and then all of a sudden I got hit with menopause. And I'm like, I'm 43. I think that's a little young, but whatever. So hormones were changing, when Nikki talks about that in the blueprint, like she teaches you. And there are people there to help and just, hormones. And then like that same week I got COVID and then I had a rib injury that very day I got COVID on vacation. And so I was out for like six weeks. But again, you are taught the things to take, to implement when life comes at you, because life is not gonna stop. I mean, we're gonna continue to age. We're gonna continue, We're gonna get sick, we're gonna get injuries. And it's exactly what happened to me. But I am equipped with the know-how and how to tackle this, and then continue with my journey, because I've only begun. I mean, there's no limit to what I can do and achieve. And she gives it to you. Nikki gives it to you. It's all in there. You literally have the keys to get the body of your dreams. It's life-changing, I am just so blessed and thankful that I became a warrior babe. And I just can't say enough good things about it, I just wish I'd have found it earlier. But I hope you hear this and know that this, you can handle whatever life throws at you. And I'm excited to see what's in my future. Thanks.
