Imagine being surrounded not only by really successful people, but extremely humble people. No one was better than anyone else, each person had their own story of how and why Beachbody transformed his or her life. If I've ever experienced a surreal moment, this weekend was it!
It began on Thursday with my Fit Club and I had the chance to work out with friends of Shaun T. Yes, THE Shaun T of Insanity fame and who I like to believe is my very own personal trainer! I don't think I ever pushed myself THAT hard.
Friday night was dinner and more inspiration. We learned about the latest nutritional developments from Beachbody and lots of other exciting news. The best thing about attending a conference that is about health and fitness is that all the food is FANTASTIC! I also had the opportunity to take another picture with Tony Horton...sans the sweat! Again, so nice and so humble...and so funny!
I listened, I watched, I studied, I took notes. I know my purpose is to be a leader in getting people healthy and ending the horrible epidemic of obesity. My heart was there. I was fully vested in every word that was spoken.
We had an awesome and energetic workout with Donna Richardson Sunday morning. I remember her from my Buns of Steel days and she is still as beautiful as ever. We sweat, we laughed, we danced down a Soul Train line at 7:00 a.m. I've never been happier.
What a beautiful spirit she is! She took the time to talk to me afterward and shared her passion with me as I shared my story. It was such a special moment for me to connect with someone like her.
I left the conference on Sunday bringing home two favorite quotes and they both speak of what Beachbody is about and represents.
"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."
"Make a significant difference in others in order to make your own life significant."
I can't think of anything else that better represents who I am and my true self. Helping others gives me energy and make my life so fulfilling! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me!

I was wondering if you were going to go to the Dallas event. It sounded like so much fun with great new information! I am super excited about the no fructose in The Recovery Drink!!
Wow, I know I've said it before but you are amazing. It's great that you are getting educated to bring back the information to the masses. :) I bet it was pretty exciting meeting all those people too. You deserve to be in great shape because you work for it. You go!
Very cool. I can only imagine the energy and enthusiasm. One day I'm going to have the opportunity to attend a BB event. I'm sure of it.
Did you see the date for Chicago 2011 is Oct 9 :)
I'm so excited, so jealous (but not in the bad green-monster way), and so inspired that you got to be there for that. Week 6 wrapped yesterday....my boobs now look like my pectoralis muscle burped up a nipple. BRING IT!!
