My dad passed away when I was 12 and my mom wasn't around that much after. It was up to me to take care of my younger sister and I. Even then I had a pretty good head on my shoulders, so to keep myself out of trouble I threw myself into sports. I was really athletic in high school, I swam competitively, lifted weights and danced. I gained a little weight after high school but I joined Ballys cleaned up my diet and dropped it quick. After I had my son my metabolism slowed down, I was less active and just could not drop the weight. Having an office job doesn't help either. My body has never been the same and now I want it back!
Why I Love It:
It's ME time! My time to take out the days stress & frustrations, and it gives me a lot of energy. I have seriously been in a chill happy-go-lucky mood since I 100% committed to this, NO JOKE! I know I'm doing something positive to improve myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
I've made some great friends who have similar goals we talk all the time about diet, new routines, suppliments, and our goals. Listening to good heart pumping music. Words of encouragement & compliments from others. I constantly remind myself that if I cheat I'm only cheating myself (believe me I kick myself in the a$$ when I do.) I kept a tiny little skirt that I just couldn't let go of from before I had my son that I'm determined to get back into (almost there). Most of all my SON I want to set a good example and teach him a healthy life style. He is only 6 and he gives me many compliments and much encouragement. He's also brutally honest and has no problem telling me your tummy looks fat mom LOL. I want to live forever just for him <3
