Today I had my One Year Anniversary with Stroller Strides of Dallas. Wow. Can't even believe it's been a whole year. I watched Clover run around the playground today, and immediately thought back to last May when she just sat/lay quietly in her jog stroller - not making a peep. No so much now. She is like a little adorable maniac baby person. She has come so far in one year (and so have I). Right after I had her, I spent most of my time on the couch. I got very cozy with the couch for the first 3 months - this was a couch that I couldn't even get up off of by myself while holding my baby. Even though I worked out during my pregnancy, I really felt like I left every bit of muscle and all my flexibility in the hospital when I left. I was like mush. And, I needed my husband to give me a "boost" off the couch. So embarrassing.
One Year Later, all that has changed. I'm able to push myself to do exercises I never dreamed I could do ~ and I get to help other moms push themselves physically, too. All so we can be stronger, more confident women, wives, moms, and role models. I am so proud of my little business, and of Clover, and of each and every mom I meet in class who also puts her health and personal well being first. You can't take care of anyone if you don't take care of yourself first! All the moms in my class inspire me more than they know, and I'm grateful for all the support and friendship I've gained in the last year. Congratulations, Stroller Strides of Dallas. Congrats and thanks for giving me the strength to be better in every way.
