My story

I'm Stacey. I'm a mother of 4 boys; ages 8, 7, 5, and 1. After having my 4th boy I decided that I wanted my body back but didn't want to be a skinny pole- I wanted the ''toned'' look. I showed my husband a picture of a girl that I wanted to look like and he said I'd have to lift heavy. I didn't believe him; I was stubborn and cried a lot. And now here I sit 10 months later feeling great about myself and saying I should've believed him, because it works!

This is my first progress picture. The picture on the left was a couple of weeks after my 4th baby. It was a picture of me and my sister in law while she held my baby. She posted it on Facebook and I was horrified and embarrassed about how I looked! The picture on the right was after my first official cutting phase (a strict, short-term low-calorie diet usually used to prep for a bodybuilding/figure competition).  I'm finally comfortable with myself but I still have goals that I want to achieve.

If you are like me and you've had kids, you don't need to be stuck with that mom body. It can be a slow process so you have to be patient and stay motivated. Check back and I'll be posting information about the workouts that I did, nutrition, and progress pictures. Thanks!
