I am a very visual person and for me, the best way to stay motivated is to see my results.

If I can see it’s working, I’m going to keep moving!

Fortunately, it’s working. Although I completely loathe and detest my “before” shots, knowing in the end I am making progress takes the sting away.

I love the quote: “you don’t have to be great to start, you just have to start to be great”. I’m on my way to greatness.

The “once upon a time” pics. There are here for the sole purpose to show frame. My hips didn’t really change post partum, just the boobs ‘n belly!!
