Day 4

Inspirational People and Why

Hmm... this one is tricky. I have never really thought about it before, but there are three people who help me push through life and workouts on a daily basis.

1. Chalene Johnson

Chalene Johnson is the creator of TurboFire and Chalean Extreme (among others). She also wrote the book PUSH, which is full of daily goals to help you live a fuller, more productive, life. She's beautiful, crazy, and lives her life HUGE! Her workout programs are full of energy and uplifting messages. She is exactly what I am striving to be. 

2. Mindi Friendland (my coach)

Mindi is the reason I joined Beachbody, even as a customer. I stumbled onto her blog, and she just inspired me to go for it. I watch her videos when I get down on myself, and I see her power through her workouts, and deal with kids running around her, and even see her stop in the middle! She is real. She has also been very active in my fitness journey. She provides support, encouragement, and even a kick in the pants if I decide to get lazy lol. 

And, last but definitely not least

3. Joel Yelin (my boyfriend)

Don't groan at this one! I'm sure everyone would say their significant others, but I have real reason to say it. Joel has a dream to be in the UFC, and he is working hard to get there. He is doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 3 days a week, plus training with his friend once a week, plus working out on a few of his off days as well. This is in between: working 10 hour days, household chores, raising our daughter, and providing support for my crazy butt. I really don't make it easy, either. He has pushed through so much with me. And he keeps going. He motivates me to move. He also teaches me some of the moves he is learning, so if (god forbid) someone attacks me, I could get away. He is so amazing, and so strong, and he pushes me to be better. <3
