Motivated Mondays


This past weekend, I went to Philly's Game Plan event and had the honor of meeting some incredible individuals who really touched my heart.  Two in particular have been on my mind because they are so inspiring that I feel the need to acknowledge them.  Their names are Valerie and Scott, a married couple who has struggled with weight for years and years.  They just about tried every single diet there is out there and had very little success until they came across P90X.  With proper nutrition and regular exercise, the husband has since lost 48 lbs and the wife has lost 63 lbs.  They are currently on their 2nd round of P90X together and plan on finishing a 3rd round before doing Shaun T's Insanity program.  They had such great energy that it was inevitable to smile when listening to their heartfelt story.  It's especially wonderful that they are sticking to their goals and traveling this fitness journey together.

This couple failed numerous times to get healthier and while they could have given up they decided to keep on trying.  It is because of their struggles that they managed to find something that actually works.  Now they are on their way to transforming their bodies and in doing so are inspiring others.  I can't wait to see them again because their determination and pride really fired me up.  What's important to know is that they weren't always happy with themselves and they chose to do something about it.
