Ok so now to the INSPIRING talk!!!

I have been training my best friend, Lydia, and her sister-in-law, Kristine. Let me talk about Lydia first!

Lydia started by giving me tons of excuses...and I mean anything you can think of...I finally told her if you want to keep giving excuses and killing yourself GO AHEAD!! You see Lydia has 2 kids who have diabetes...she is so busy keeping them alive and another child with severe asthma and allergies and busy keeping him alive too...she FORGOT ALL ABOUT HER!! I told her how is she going to make sure they are going to LIVE IF SHE IS DEAD!! I told her she needs to REFIND HER...she needs to find what makes HER HAPPY and in turn it is going to trickle down into her family! Lydia began XFit June 2...she also started Paleo/Zone...and she is doing great!! She loves her WOD's she actually hates her REST DAYS, but undertands why she needs them! She has her cheat meals (or her cheat drinks)...I tell her not to deprive herself! What is even better her oldest son, has been doing P90x and is pushing her! The other night my daughter was over there and put her daughter through a WOD and now she is even hooked!! YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE IT!! Her family is going to become CROSSFITTERS FOR LIFE!! 

Now to Lydia's sis-in-law, Kristine!! OMG...what an amazing story!! She thinks she doesn't have an inspirational story...yet she has become one to me!! On Tuesday evening she came to my house and did her WOD with me. What was great was that her 5 yr old daughter did it with us. What was even better was that Kristine had to ask her daughter to move out of her way so she could knock out her push ups!! WOO HOO!  Well Kristine has been blogging (http://kristine-icalldoover.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-has-become-viral.html) and yesterday she went outside to do her WOD with her children in tow! They wanted to join! Well her neighbor asked what she was doing, so Kristine shared and her neighbor asked if she could do it with her and her 3 kids wanted to do it too!! So all 5 did the WOD yesterday TOGETHER!! A NEIGHBORHOOD WOD!! How flippin cool is that!! Krisitne is touching her community by her story!! I can't wait for more to come of this!! Kristine has no clue how inspiring she truly is!! She is making strides in so many areas...even the baby steps are HUGE!! I am INSPIRED daily by her...which makes me love the dream I am going after more everyday!!

THANK YOU LYDIA AND KRISTINE for letting me be a part of this in your life! :)
