Wow! I don’t think it has fully sunk in yet that I am one of the next Mamavation moms. I could not be more honored and excited to start this journey! Thank you so much to the committee for choosing me and giving me this opportunity! I am so excited to be doing this with Tina (@madhattermom) and with the help of the leadership committee Leah (@bookieboo), Shelley (@momma_oz), Shannon (@ShannonMSander). My mentors Wendy (@weightsover) and Hanan (@lilaccitymomma). Along with ALL of my wonderful and awesome mamavation sistas! Not to mention the awesome swag from our AMAZING sponsors Earth FootWear (@EarthFootwear), New Balance Shoes (@NewBalance) & Omron Fitness (@OmronFitness) and our coaching staff Mark (@MrBookieboo), Alyssa (@InspiredRD) & Pete (@petecohen)
So far I am LOVING the workouts from Mark, he did an amazing job creating our fitness plans!! I loved mine today, even though I was a space cadet this morning when I did my workout. I did mondays workout “Burn It” rather then what is tuesdays work out of “Build It” so I will be catching up and doing “Built It” tonight after swimming some laps at the pool. What is your favorite way to get an extra workout in?
Ok on to the pictures and proof!
Everyone has a starting point. Today is my starting point in a new direction on a new journey. For the past few weeks, I have been completing my hazing workouts handed out by Stephanie (@fitmomtraining) and there were days when I didn’t know if I was going to make it … but I always did. Although at times it would have been easier to give up, quitting was never an option!
Since I applied to be a Mamavation mom this campaign I have lost 14 pounds! I am excited to see where I am in seven weeks when this bootcamp is done kicking my butt into shape! Below you will see my before pictures, current weight & measurements. Take a good look, because by October 15th you will see pictures of a new woman. A woman who has even more confidence, a skinnier body & a much better pictures to show off! So stay tuned & follow along on the 7 week journey Tina & I are starting!
202.4 not a bad starting place! I am 3 pounds away from my immediate goal of being under 200 pounds!
Measurements
Chest: 43″ ~ Hip: 49″ ~ Waist: 41″ Right Thigh: 22.5″ ~ Left Thigh: 22.5″ ~ Right Calf: 15″ ~ Left Calf: 15″ ~ Left Arm: 13.5″ Right Arm: 13.5″
