Surgery is paid in full as of today! I'm a 35 year old mom of 3 amazing kiddos (9,7 and 3) and wife to an awesome, supportive, Godly man. I've wanted a mommy makeover since I had my son in 2009. Hubby and I were high school sweethearts and will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this June. After being pregnant from 2003-2009 I am ready to rock a tiny bikini on our anniversary trip to Cabo this summer.
I had my first "mommy makeover" consultation a year and a half ago. The price alone scared me away for awhile. We started saving money so we could pay cash and I continued to work out on my own to get my figure back in tip top shape. Hubby and I came to the realization that no matter how hard I worked out or was diligent about making the proper food choices some things just weren't going back to the shape I desired without a little intervention.
I'm on sabbatical right now and we decided that April would be as good of time as any to do the "mommy makeover".
I'm 5'3" and weight varies between 140-145 pounds. I tend to hang around the 143 mark, which is up about 3-4 pounds since I had a complete hysterectomy And oopherectomy last year due to endometriosis. I wear the vivelle dot hormone patch on a daily basis to replace the hormones that my ovaries would be making. I'm fairly active, I work out 3-4 days a week. I typically do a combination of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30, Jillian Yoga and jogging a few miles. I completed my first 5K last fall and am looking forward to running my next one this fall. Eating "clean" (the majority of the time) and staying fit is important to me for myself and also for my husband.
Excited about the end results, a little anxious about the recovery. Calming my nerves with lots of prayer and the Word!
The countdown is on, one week from today I will be...
