Why I became an instructor...

Now I feel like I should revise my answer, lol! Not really, that's really why I became an instructor. I went by what was represented as OBC leadership and thought I had something to offer.

When I started, I was really at the end of my rope regarding weight loss. I was the heaviest I had ever been in life, and worried that the number would continue to rise if I couldn't find something, anything, to get my weight to go down consistently. My cousin who attended OBC @ Piedmont Park invited me to one of the Saturday workouts. I enjoyed the Piedmont workout (which was why I was confused at the "fear" of PP) and went to another Saturday session before signing up for Newnan camp. Although we had a small group, the workouts were always great and the guys were really encouraging. After much encouragement from my cousin I asked to be an instructor (I'm probably the only person who asked, was not asked). Didn't really expect that Monsour would say yes, cause I wasn't in the best shape, but I believe in the power of asking for what you want. (If anybody's confused by that, yes, I did 4 months as a camper too.)

It's great to know a bit more about each of you. I know I don't have my best "morning face" on each morning, and I can't always go to coffee, but I would really like to call every person on our team, "friend". I'm not the type of person who can become BFFs with someone in the course of a week (or even a month for that matter), but I feel that a part of building a great team is building great relationships. Keep the stories coming, they've all been great!

Except David and the massage lotion. I could have done without that.
