WHO is your inspiration?

When you think of someone who inspires you to do better or be more, who is the first person that pops into your head?  I know a lot of people with say their children and husband, believe me they are the reasons I want to succeed for sure...  But do you have someone that you look up to and you want to follow in their footsteps?  I have NEVER felt as though I had a "mentor" or someone I could say, "hey you are the person I want to learn from and grow" until I started working out.  Ok, ok, say I am cheesy and goofy, but I am being honest!  I was the girl that had no real goals and just went with the flow and "wished" or "hoped" I would have a bright future, but never did anything about it to secure a successful future for myself and my family. 


My inspiration and mentor is Chalene Johnson.


First I started with ordering Turbo Jam late one night because I was bored and wanted to get my butt in shape for the first time in 6 years.... I fell in love and wanted more!  Then, Jenelle Summers (Chalene Johnson's sister) introduced me to Beach Body over Twitter!  I never knew fitness could be FUN and something I would actually like learning about.  I might not be the best at being a Team Beach Body coach, but I love doing it, I love being a product of the product, I love connecting with people on so many levels - not just about fitness, but about everything and anything!


Second, I took a leap and I am talking more of a huge jump across the freakin ocean to take a Turbo Kick Instructor training!  Not just the pro training to test out my skills, but the instructor training - and I LOVED it! I had a feeling it would be in my blood to be a group fitness instructor, heck my mom was for a while when she was my age, but it was more of a jazzercise type class - eek! lol  Now, I am taking a Hip Hop Hustle training at the end of this month and I am so pumped about it.  I get to bust a move like I do at the clubs, how cool is that?  I just ordered some new TurboKick wear too and I am going to be doing some MAJOR shirt shredding this weekend so I can look the part!  Next is All-Star Presenters camp this summer, I want to be an amazing instructor, not the same joe blow that can walk into any club and do, but I want to be fun, funky and fresh!  PIYO will be in my future as well, just not sure when tho....


Third - Even tho Chalene doesnt know me besides seeing my tweets and me reading hers - I feel like she is in my car with me while listening to audio or in my living room while working out!  My husband thinks I am a nut!  I read her books and the books she recommends!  I listen to all the audio I can to become the best mom, sister, wife, daughter - everything I can be!  I know I will never be perfect, always a work in progress but I can strive for the best! 


One day I will meet her and I will be nervous and dorky and everything in between!  Hopefully I can make it to Summit 2011 and shake my ass at the Diamond reception with her! :)  But until then Twitter it is!
