Excited...

I have never been one to get excited about physical activity, that is until now. It seems really funny to me. I cannot explain it, it just makes me feel good.

I have noticed that I talk about boot camp all of the time.  I can't wait to get to work to share with Susan the newest exercise that Bethany has made me do. I even demonstrate.

I did four real push ups last week.  I know, four doesn't sound like many, but I can tell you that it is a BIG deal. I have really come a long way since my first workout.

The hardest thing for me is still the mental part. I feel like people are thinking that I am really slow, Bethany says that it is not true. Whatever negative thing I think, people around me see it differently. They see the determination to finish and the desire to change. She says that people view me as an inspiration and that I encourage them to push harder...how about that?

I have never stopped to look at my journey from someone else's perspective. I have only thought about it being about me. Seems a little selfish. I don't mean to be selfish. I think it may help for me to look at the impact I am making on others. I have decided to live out Camp Gladiator's mission statement. It is:

Our mission is to positively impact the physical fitness and ultimately
the lives of as many people as possible.
  
What does that mean? That means that I am going to think about others. It means that I am going to encourage others. It means I am going to be bold about sharing the difference that Bethany, through Camp Gladiator, makes in my life. I will help promote cg and encourage others to find the gladiator that lives inside of them.
I will continue to be honest about my journey. It has not been easy. I have struggled, but every struggle will result in success. I am determined to change and I am EXCITED!
Be Blessed!
