It makes my day when someone says you inspired me to…. mostly related to my diet and exercise lately. This is why I share so much of ME. It may be irritating to some, but so many people have messaged me and said I tried Paleo because of you. Its changed my life. OR because you posted about exercising today, I got off the couch and went for a walk amazing. brings tears or chills every single time. I think a lot of times its these people that keep me going. Yes, I get lazy and want to sit on the couch and veg out but then i think about how disappointing it would be to slide backwards. Ive worked too dang hard. There were a few people that inspired me, too, and continue to do so: Brittany Merritt. I shot her boudoir images two years ago before she started cross fit and then I shot her second set of images last January and, wow! She was just a curvy girl before, still gorgeous, but when i saw her in January, she has muscle tone and was not at all shy anymore about her physique. I thought I need to do something. Im out of breath climbing the stairs at the Caney house to shoot this boudoir event. Tiffany May….I started a biggest loser competition and Tiffany May won it. She lost over 50 lbs during that competition….with pure exercise and diet. Gary Graham, my dad. This is what it took to send me into seriousness….triple bypass, recovered, lost 40 lbs and is still at it. Biking some 12 miles a day or something crazy and walking lord knows how many miles per week. Im so proud of him. Camille Hamilton…my trainer. I walked into my first class at Body Evolution Training and wondered what the heck i got myself into. I could barely do one burpee, people! My wrists hurt, my back hurt. I had to do modifications. Shes a fireball. I thought oh shes so much younger than me. Thats why she can do a freaking handstand pushup. Nope, guess what? I found out shortly after that thought that shes 40. I had no more excuses. Lately in class, Ive been doing all of my rounds without modifications and sometimes keeping up with the younger ones in the bunch. Im damn proud and I can freaking wait to see what comes next!
