Okay I am way behind... but who knew that when you quit your job to do Advocare and run some boot camps you would still not have time to do the laundry? Yes it sits on our couch today...
I have "grown up" this month. Had many victories and stretched myself a bunch. One of my victories was coming in first place at the Crossfit Laredo Games. Robert also placed second and Howard Little third. It was a great weekend for all to enjoyed! We also took a team to the Life as RX Tour in Dallas last weekend. Carpe Verendum placed 19 out of 88 teams!! Way to go Robert Hartgrove, Howard Little, Jeff Merry, Kerri Carver and me! The other Crossfit Texas team also did a great job. They had intentions of scaling the work outs and when they got there they went the full RX!! What a great way to push yourself beyond the limit you thought you had!!!
My greatest victory was starting up the boot camps. I truly didn't know how rewarding it would be to train and encourage people to do things they didn't know their bodies could do. I have two boot camps, one that meets twice a week and one that meets once a week. I even have a participant that is one person shy of starting another group that will meet three times a week!!! She has really put me to work, but how awesome is that! Her desire for physical fitness is contagious!!!
Robert and I are finishing out our Advocare pay period tonight... We have been truly blessed to be a part of the Holcomb's Team Intensity! They have encouraged us, challenged us, and pushed us beyond our comfort zone. With that I look up and know that we will hit Ruby this pay period. If enough of our team stretches and challenges themselves today... we will look up and be Emerald (yes I am crying)! Who knew that we were capable of that? I honestly believe that others will believe in you before you can believe in yourself. I may not have all the answers, but I have confidence! Confidence will allow me to humble myself to find you an answer, to challenge you to not quit, don't give up because today's the last day, do one more rep, call that person on your list you didn't hear back from last week.
So today the laundry will stay on the couch, I will call and stretch and make myself vulnerable and uncomfortable because someone believed I am Emerald! If you don't understand what I'm talking about, call me and I will share with confidence what that means for me and my family and what it could mean for you. Because ANYONE can be Emerald, they just have to have someone to believe in them enough till they can believe it themselves!!!
And tomorrow my oldest son turns 9! Happy Birthday Brett! I am so greatful that you have allowed Mom and Dad to stretch and grow this month... I have worked hard for you so that we can take you and Tyler to Atlantis!! We will know for sure Friday! Happy birthday son!
