About Me

Welcome to my Blog! I wanted to take some time to tell you about me so you can know exactly who I am :)

My name is Alyssa Green and I was born and raised on the outskirts of Johnstown, Pennsylvania near Davidsville where there are literally more cows than people. I grew up in a small one stoplight town that was filled with the best community anyone could ever ask for! I'm the oldest child of three girls (my poor father) and I take on the typical oldest child tendencies - OCD, organization, bossiness. I tend to either go all-in or not at all, so I often over-achieve with anything given to me.

Something that most people don't know about me is the fact that I'm Mennonite. Most people ask where my horse and buggy is at this point :) BUT all kidding about Amish aside, Mennonite is just a Christian Denomination added to the list of denominations - Presbyterian, Methodist, Brethren, etc. However, being a Mennonite is almost a culture of itself. The food, the quilting, the fellowship - YUM. Growing up was a phenomenal experience filled with a huge family and amazing food. (This is part of what inspired me to become a Beachbody Coach, but we'll get to that later.)

I spent my high school summers as an ice cream server at the local ice cream stand and then I moved on to camp counseling and lifeguarding. At my summer camp, Laurelville Mennonite Church Center, I met the love of my life and my best friend Jared.

I have always known I wanted to be a teacher, so after I graduated high school in 2011 I attended college at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA for Elementary Education and graduated a year early in April 2014! That July, I married Jared in his hometown of Salisbury, PA (about an hour south of my hometown) and put roots down there in another amazing community and church with a wonderful new family.

Currently, I'm a high school Spanish teacher (WHO KNEW that my love for Spanish would put me on a path that I had never expected?!) at the local high school while my husband works for his family metal roofing business. We rent a huge farmhouse on the family business property and LOVE the 250 acres of farm land that surround us. Jared and I share our home with the cutest kitten in the world named Zeus, who balances his time between terror, hunter, and climbing the fridge and Daisy, our Australian shepherd puppy who loves Zeus a little too much and is so excited for life and snugs with her Mama and Daddy.

I love to sing, play guitar and piano, paint, attempt pinterest projects, and cook. I'm learning more and more about clean eating and trying to implement that into my apple-dumpling-meat-and-potatoes Mennonite lifestyle that I grew up with. I hope to eventually write a book about my clean eating Mennonite journey and I'd love to someday meet Taylor Swift. (hahaha :) ) I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to pay off my college debt, paying bills, prepping food for the week, and pinteresting way too many things.

I'm a typical 21 year old who watches way too much reality TV, loves sleeping and chocolate, and can't handle a day without cuddles. My fitness journey started in May of 2014 where I began a Focus T25 10-week program. From that program I lost 13 inches and gained 8 new friends in a challenge group. I KNEW that I needed to inspire others the way my coach has inspired me.
