Only the Beginning

6 weeks. 40 days. 960 hours. 6 workouts. 12 walks. 2 rallies. Hills, weights, squats, push ups, sit ups, sweat, frustration, soreness....think about all of the things you have gone through this past month and a half. As you walk into the studio today for your final weigh in, focus on the other numbers involved in this transformation. Like the number of times you pushed yourself to try something new. Or how many conversations you had that you never saw coming. The number of hills you climbed, lunches you packed, and lives you touched. This marks the end of your 6-week journey, but it is only the beginning to living the rest of your life on a quality level. When we began with you all in January, I knew this was going to be something cool. I knew lessons would be learned, smack talk would emerge, and limits would be pushed. I could have never imagined everything else that came along with it though. Jesse, Ashley, and I went in to this hoping to change your lives, and I think we all felt a change in ourselves as well. To not only see your accomplishments with weight loss and strength gain, but to recognize the way that you celebrate each other and embrace battles won and fought hard has truly been amazing. Congratulations. Revel in your success. Encourage one another. Stick to your gameplan, and venture outside of your comfort zone. Challenge your body, your mind, and your being. What an opportunity it has been to work with the Towbes group. Teamwork is your framework and a positive atmosphere just radiates throughout your offices. Thank you for reminding us why we love what we do, I am proud of each and every one of you (Yes, even Blue and Yellow!) Take today to smile at one another, to give high fives, and hugs, and congratulations. Everyone has worked tremendously hard, and I only hope to continue to be a part of hearing and witnessing your continued progress. YOU DID IT!! Now keep going! See you all at noon =)
