Several losses in my life made me realize that I wanted to eat healthier, be more fit, and (hopefully) reduce the size of the "mama butt" my wonderful children gave me :)
Why I Love It:
Exercise helps keep my stress levels down and energizes me for the entire day. It gives me a break from "reality" and allows me to have time for myself. The results I see give me confidence and a higher self-esteem, knowing that I'm healthy enough to take care of not just my children, but finally myself too.
How I Stay Motivated:
It's definitely just simply become a routine. In the mornings, I wake up before the sun (and before my children) to eat breakfast, and exercise. Alone time is important to me because those times are few and far between as a single mom. My children usually wake up close to when I'm finished with my workout, then I can gladly devote my time to feeding, bathing, and dressing them :)
BB Accomplishments:
I have FINALLY gotten rid of my chicken legs and have built up the calf muscles I was sure had never existed! :) Also, my abs and lower back are much stronger, providing me with proper balance and posture.
I would like to maintain a low body fat percentage, around 12%, and a weight of no less than 100 pounds. Being HEALTHY is the most important part of my goal.

Do you currently have a workout partner?
Yes
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
I only workout with someone when I'm running...it's a good time to catch up with friends/family

What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
Excellent progress, your abs are looking really great in your recent pic. Way to go Julie! Being a Mom is the toughest job in the world. Be proud of yourself for making the time to stay fit, and taking care of everything else on your own. I wish you all the very best!
