You’re an awesome person Noah!2 -
David Goggins. When the alarm goes off at 4am and I don't want to run, I remind myself Goggins will have already been up for an hour.

My friends motivate me, but most of all, the ones who say I can’t, are the ones who make me say “I can”2

My teen daughter. She and I go running at 5:30 in the mornings and she pushes me every step of the way. She really has what it takes to make a great future PT3

Being a role model and mentor to the kids I train. Some days it's harder than others, but every hurdle they overcome, or success they have, pumps me up to keep pushing.14

Omigosh you're the sweetest! Love you Boo!1 -
My 2 daughters, ages 10 and 14. I didn't grow up with any positive examples of what it's like to be healthy and active. I grew up hearing constant criticism of my own body as well as pretty much any other woman whether they were celebrities on tv or people in my own life. Every flaw was criticized. I cannot tell you how deep that damage is and how long I've held onto it. Telling an 11 year old girl that her ankles are "too thick" and that she is going to have flabby bat wing arms is unacceptable.
I've made a very conscious effort to not criticize myself out loud in front of my daughters or ever mention their bodies. I am trying to show them by example that a healthy lifestyle is more important than the size of their jeans. There's been days when I was tired and didn't want to go for a run, and my daughters will literally bring me my shoes and say "Let's go to the track mom. Even if we just do 1 mile". My hope for them is that they see that beauty isn't simply physical, and that their worth isn't defined by how big their thighs are or how pretty their faces are.9 -
Sorry for the novel. It just hits close.0

Everything about this makes me love you and is how I am trying to raise my kiddos as well2 -
