My Story

December 26th 2015, I became a mom. The best day of my life, thus far, that day changed my whole life. When you become a mom you’re so excited to have this little peanut, that you’ve been carrying for 9 months, finally in your arms. Through all the preparations, you didn’t give it enough thought to how hard it really is after.  You don’t always take into consideration outside factors.


While I love being a mom, the first few months sucked not because of not sleeping, but because I hated this “new body” I had, I hated my tiger stripes, I hated that none of my clothes fit my “new” body, I hated the new curves I had. I had many, many breakdowns. I finally said to myself, If you’ve got time to complain about it you’ve got time to change it. I started taking care of myself, I realized how much better and more comfortable I started to feel.

I’m a single mom. I work full time. I find time between naps, laundry, bath time, cleaning, food preparations, and playing to take care of myself. The day I had my daughter, I was at my heaviest. 1 year  3 months later I’m at one of my healthiest weights, but more importantly  I FEEL GREAT!

I’m here to tell you that even if you don’t think  you have time, you do! I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life. I’ve done a bunch of diets, that never stuck. I’ve tried a bunch of workouts that “weren’t for me”. It took having my daughter to make me realize that even though getting fit and being healthy was for me, setting a good example for my daughter is also a huge motivator.
