The first time I sat down with Hyam it was simply to interview her for a story for SuzySaid. A friend had tried out one of her classes and thought it would make a good story so I checked it out. Less than 30 minutes in to our conversation I knew my life was going to change. At the time, however, I believed those changes would be limited to my own personal journey back to health. I had no clue I'd be blessed with so much more.
December marked the end of my latest 12 week session at Clay. To celebrate our success, as well as Hyam's (surely you read the Daily Progress article about Clay's upward expansion into the former Bel Rio space?) two of my classmates had us all over for dinner.
On the way to their house I gave the Spicy Chicken a run down on the names of people he hadn't met. As I started telling him about each individual it dawned on me what an amazing group of people they were and how highly I thought of each person.
Whether they realize it or not each of them has guided me on my journey in their own way. Sure our workouts consisted of some really intense training, but somewhere between the curling & crunching, skipping & jumping and squatting & lunging there was a whole lot of smiling, supporting, laughing, encouraging and inspiring going on.
Twelve weeks later I've lost few pounds and added a few new friends. I'll take those unintended consequences any day.
