Infectious Evolution

Infectious Evolution: Start a Revolution!
"Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

Today was day one of Insanity. And let me tell you, it was thirty minutes of pain. It's the type of pain that changes lives, though. The type of pain where sore muscles and an achy body lead to six pack abs and rock solid muscles. It's the type of pain that will strengthen character/confidence, and harden your resolve. Yeah, that's the pain I want, need, crave and desire.

It was "only" a fit test but damn, that was intense and extremely tough. I made it through, but I'm gunna be walking like a saddle sore SOB tomorrow. Shaun T's Insanity is intense cardio, so I expect to be plenty sore for the first couple of weeks. But after that, all bet's are off cause my lungs will adjust, my body will be in a routine and I'll be able to dig deeper and kick some major ass.

Tony Horton helped me build confidence in myself and gave me big bad ass shoulders. Shaun T's Insanity is going to help me take it to the next level.  I'm taking on the world and going to win .. every ... single ... time.

Segway into a different subject .... now (sorry couldn't think of anything to link the next topic to the first one, my quads were hurting too damn much).

Have you hung up the phone and been completely flabbergasted (I always wanted to use that word), blown away, and utterly speechless? But in a positive way? And for those that know me, speechless isn't me. I don't shut up ... Anyway, the phone call I got today was amazing! As I said, I was speechless and blown away. I think that I may have turned a few shades of red. The call I got was from Julie Willson, a friend who has fast become very integral to my fitness success. She and I have a passion for fitness ... no, that isn't exactly right. A passion for finding and becoming better versions of ourselves, both mentally and physically. That I think would be more accurate. 

Julie was literally on cloud nine when she called. I could feel her joy and happiness even though it was a phone conversation. She was so happy that even Grumpy Dwarf may have cracked a smile (insert laugh track here)! Julie wants really wants me to be a Coach with Team Beachbody. Today, she told me that I was one of the main reasons why she start Horton's Power90 program. Julie is now working as Coach with Beachbody and has took off running with the whole fitness thing. Shit, she has pursued this with more passion, determination, and will power than most people do with their careers. Her passion for her personal evolution is infectious. And she has pointed the finger at me for motivating her. First off, I want to say thank you so very much to Julie. The greatest accomplishment an individual can have is changing lives, making a difference no matter how large or small. Julie's desire, passion, determination, grit, or whatever you want to call it was always there. I just sparked the match and she took off running. Her motivation level is so high it's completely sick ... ... and it gets me amped up to do more and become a better person. I want to keep my intensity level as high as hers, if not higher (competition brings the best out in all of us).

I can't and won't take full credit for Julie's passion with Beachbody. I will, however, take credit for pointing her in the right direction and introducing her to the best fitness company out there. Hands down, Beachbody has the absolute best programs/trainers/support out there for those who "want it" and are willing to put in the hard work. Ladies and gentlemen, in this corner ... the undisputed CHAMPION OF THE FITNESS WORLD ..... BEACHBODY!!! Yeah, that's right, CHAMPION OF THE FITNESS WORLD. From Tony Horton to Chalene Johnson, Beachbody has got it all going on dude, no joke. And all I really did was show Julie some result pictures and point her in the right direction. What happened next was all on her ... full boar, right into the belly of the beast known as what I like to call "self-evolution". And she hasn't stopped, looked back, or took no for an answer. Rather, she's out there being inspirational, motivational and friggin' awesome. So Julie, I want to thank you for helping me re-ignite the fire inside of me. For showing me that I need to push harder, faster and longer to take it to the next level.

We inspire each other to become better, to find a better tomorrow. We will reach our goals and potential ... and then set new ones.
