Enter to Win a Trip to NYC from Dove and Family Dollar #FDBeautyis #sponsored

Who inspires you to be a better woman? I have had a lot of role models in my life so this question wasn't easy for me to answer. Just as I wanted to share this post about how to win a trip to New York City I encountered a young teen who truly inspires me to be the best woman and mom that I can be! This person is my youngest teen, Emily. This is a sponsored post through Global Influence but my own opinions are expressed here. 

This spring I took on a challenge to run one mile a day for 40 days. I've been living a healthier lifestyle for 2 years now which includes going to the gym 3-4 times a week. Since February, Emily has been going to the gym with me. She is very enthusiastic and loves working out. She inspires me to go and be the best that I can be even on days when I do not feel like going. 

To top off her inspiration, I was at the gym on Day 26th of my run streak running on the treadmill. I accidentally wore the wrong workout pants which were way too big for me. For 1/4 of a mile I had to concentrate on running the treadmill while holding and pulling up my pants. It wasn't pretty and I was so irritated that I got off the treadmill. When I found my daughter she said she could help. She ran out to the car to find something to fix my pants. She came back in with a chip clip! The 15 year old teen did some fancy work at the back of my pants and I was able to finish my day 26 run streak. I got back on that treadmill and finished my mile for Emily. She truly inspires me and believes in my goals so much that she removed a barrier! I'm sure the pants were not very pretty in the back or fashionable but they made me feel beautiful! Thank you Emily.
