25 Random Things from Facebook

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

1. If you are reading this, you probably know what boot camp is. When I started my first camp at Blackburn Park, very few people did. That rocks!
2. I started TABCC in 2005 under a different name with a different goal in mind and found out that attorneys are useful and that you should always go into a partnership looking to get out of it.
3. When I started Blackburn Park with my hubbie, Chris, everyone said we were crazy and wouldn't succeed. Last summer we had one of the biggest groups in the country. "F" those people that didn't believe in me.
4. One of the biggest lessons I have learned through leading boot camp is that believing in people goes a very long way.
5. Every day we have the ability to improve a persons life by teaching them good habits and educating them about being healthy. When I get tired or down, I try to think about that.
6. Motivation is achieved through words when we speak. Inspiration is achieved through actions. So we must always remember to participate in life and in boot camp.
7. Last year I traveled all over the country introducing people to our intense style of training and found myself back in Atlanta loving my group of instructors more than ever. The "elite" group of TABCC boot camp instructors are like no others in the world. You really are the best!
8. I just heard something about multi-vitamins not being worth it. Our boot camp program dispells a bunch of myths similar to that like not eating after 6pm - what a load of "basura".
9. I really hope that someone can convince Pres Obama to pass a bill that allows people to use their flexible spending account to pay for boot camp.
10. If I had to create a boot camp instructor superhero, I would combine DB's voice, EC's cheerfulness, JF's speed, KF's explosiveness on the sprint, SG's loyalty, RL's infectious energy/fire, the collective love for what we do of ALL my instructors, and the passion that GOD gave me. I am sure we could obliterate obesity with that super hero! What should we call her?
11. This winter I fell in love with my studio in Brookhaven all over again thanks to an awesome group of instructors and bunch of members with super awesome work ethics.
12. There would not be an American Boot Camp Company if it wasn't for my husband, Chris' unyielding support and understanding of my passion.
13. The one thing that keeps me going every day is a reminder that GOD gave me a gift to inspire and lead and granted me an opportunity to use the gift. And it is ONLY by His grace that I am alive and living in a great city and surrounded by nice things.
14. I very much dislike people that cheat and are dishonest. I have found in the outdoor boot camp business there are many of these people operating illegally in parks and participating in unethical practices. I thought tree huggers were peaceful?
15. I used to be a tree hugger. Then I found Jesus. Now I just use trees as marker for the next sprint in a workout.
16. I am not politically correct, but think it's funny when people try to be.
17. I am one of the most loyal, hard working, driven people you will ever meet. I don't quit, EVER.
18. I subscribe to the following work ethic so gracefully summed up in this sports quote "When your not training, remember, someone, somewhere out there, IS training. And when you meet them. They're going to beat you." I love competition and double dog dare them to bring everything they have every day. Because I WILL.
19. If there is one retired instructor that I miss more than any it would be Stu. You always made me laugh.
20. When we started boot camp, it was supposed to be FUN. Chris always reminds me that each new year. Thanks!
21. Helping the guys lose weight in the Atlanta's Biggest Loser contest last fall reminded me why I do what I do personally. Please send anyone that you care about that needs to lose weight my way. I promise I will do everything in my power to help them.
22. How does it feel to participate in boot camp? Watch any feel good sports movie at the point where the tides turn in favor of the underdog. That feeling of "I can do anything" is what inspires me every day. At TABCC we take everyday regular people and help them find their inner athlete.
23. Boot camp isn't for everyone. If your leg is broken and you are physically unable to jog you should find another exercise option. However, if you just haven't run before you should give it a try.
24. My top 3 favorite boot camp workouts are Recess, Assume the position and Power Plyo. What are yours?
25. 1, 2, 3, 4...I love boot camp!
