Why I became an instructor...

I became an instructor simply because obc, and the obc instructors, had such an impact on my life that I wanted to share that with others! I was so inspired by my fellow campers from my first (pre-baby) month (Karen, Anj, and Doris) and my friend, Lane, who, while I was pregnant and growing, were getting fit and fabulous and becoming instructors themselves. 
I struggled so much my first month back. I had a looooong way to go and lots of weight to shed, but Lane, Josh, Leo, Anj, Karen (the knee-saver!) Doris, all of you other crazy instructors, and my fellow campers helped me get through it. Getting through that first month may still be my biggest accomplishment. :)
By the time I finished my fourth post-baby month, I couldn't imagine obc not being part of my day. I still feel that I am very much on the journey myself. I still have goals to accomplish, and I hope that campers see me still striving and stretching myself, and that this will help them push themselves.
OBC has taught me that nothing is impossible, which sounds cheesy, but I mean it! No one (myself most of all!) would have ever believed that I could run a half marathon, but now I know I will cross that finish line and many more! 
Most importantly, I have seen changes in the health and lifestyles of the people that I love as well. OBC has helped me set an example of fitness that has impacted my husband, son, sister, and several friends. 
I could never do this without you guys!!! I look forward to seeing y'all each morning, and I HATE when I miss, because I miss y'all! 
Thank you for welcoming me into this crazy family!
