Honestly, this was not my first Summit experience, heck it was not even my second experience, but my third, and I have to say that this Summit hit me the hardest (in all good ways, mostly)! The people I was travelling with were incredible, hilarious, and inspiring and made the trip even more fantastic. The keynote speakers were beyond incredible and it seemed like every single thing they said hit me on some personal level. The awards and celebrations again were OFF THE CHART! So now can you imagine why I have a hard time with where to begin?
The trip to Nashville consisted of myself, my coach, her husband, and one other lady. These people are the sweetest, funniest, and most caring people you will ever meet. The trip was full of laughs and shenanigans which makes travelling so much nicer because when you are driving and flying all day it can wipe you out, literally. So having people to make the trip fun and exciting is really the way to go. These amazing people totally make it worth all the travelling pitfalls that can happen.
The entire week in Nashville its also very easy to let certain things slip, your diet, your exercise, and all that jazz. I mean travelling is about vacation and relaxing, right? However, a true friend and coach will help you stay accountable even while on a business/vacation trip. We ate healthy, for the most part (ice cream was a must one night...LOL), and we exercised every single day (except me the day after our Super Workout, I took that day as my rest day). We stayed on track. I did not gain one pound while I was travelling. Not ONE! Woot Woot!
When you have the dedication, the discipline, and the support it makes things so much easier! That is one reason why I LOVE this team so much! That support is so incredible! We are there for each other and for others to help inspire, encourage, hold accountable, and motivate to live those healthier, happier, lifestyles.
The keynote speakers from Summit: Can I just say WOW! If you have not heard these people speak, then you really need to start! It's called YouTube and you can find them! The first one of course is also a Beachbody Celebrity Trainer, Chalene Johnson. She is just incredible. Not only is she health and fitness but she is also all about your relationships! Especially the most important relationship: Your spouse and your yourself! Seriously, this lady made me wish that my husband was with me on that trip because everything she said, I know, we were both feeling! She made me really appreciate my husband on so many levels and miss him the ENTIRE trip (even though I already did miss him it was like heart throbbing missing him)!
Dewitt Jones: National Geographic Photographer was also a speaker! This man has VISION! He makes you realize that you need to have that vision of the bigger picture so you do not get distracted by all the smaller daily distractions. That VISION will guide you to keep going and to never give up until you get that amazing SHOT! He takes a million pictures but it's that special ONE that just elevates your dreams and makes you realize "WHY" you are doing what you are doing. Seriously its about Vision, Passion, Purpose, and Creativity! My all time favorite quote from him, "I will SEE it because I BELIEVE it!" There is always more than one right answer so do not be afraid to keep trying and learning all the amazing answers that are out there! Master your craft and Master yourself! Alright one more quote, "Take the BEST in, and GIVE it all back!"
The next speaker was Simon Sinek and he is just incredible! He draws you in, literally, he is always drawing something on a board to help you visualize what he is speaking about. When you can see it, you can comprehend it better so you will usually see him drawing on a board. He discussed goals and vision as well but he related to how much we are social animals and how we respond to our environments. Even if you come from a negative environment you can CHANGE your environment. Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people, full of trust and caring, and you will thrive! It's human nature.
Then there was the Beachbody Challenge! Oh my gravy! This really draws me in! If you did not know I entered the Beachbody Challenge and I won the monthly contest once which put me into the drawing for the final spot. I was so excited and proud to be a part of the Beachbody Challenge. I have every intention of entering it again, and again, until I am on that stage as a finalist for the Beachbody Challenge. The stories along with the people who won this year are simply incredible. It is so amazing what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself! I believe that my story, like theirs, can inspire others to live healthier, happier lives! I will be on stage for the Beachbody Challenge! Woot Woot!
Beachbody is a family! This family is incredible and has such amazing leaders, inspiring coaches, and a full fledged team of support to help us all achieve our goals! THIS is a wonderful company with such amazing goals and aspirations! I am very proud to be a part of this family! This team is what it is all about! Not only do you strive to reach your goals but you help so many other people to reach theirs! You build together! You are stronger together! So never think that you have to do this alone! You do not! We are all here for you!
So to wrap it up.....before I keep rambling about every detail from the hotel, the parties, the river dancing, and the crazy shenanigans.... Coach Summit is an EXPERIENCE that you MUST EXPERIENCE! If you could not make it this year, PLAN NOW to NOT MISS IT next year! Make it your priority! You learn and grow so much every year at Summit and you meet the most incredible people every time! If you are new to coaching this year..... EARN your ticket for FREE! Seriously! Do not miss on this amazing event! I make it a priority every year and this year....this year was beyond description! All it takes is that one time to light a fire within you.... and then you SHINE for everyone else to see!
Summit will help you to LIGHT THAT FIRE!
SHINE BRIGHT!
Until next year my extended Beachbody Family!!!!! My team.... We will ROCK it together ALWAYS!!!!! Woot Woot!!!
