Surviving Mommyhood

February 28th, 2010

Mother of four, Rebekah V., with Team 0600

Rebekah joined the IC to lose her post-baby weight and to just get in shape after a significant hiatus from exercise… well, do four children really count as a hiatus?  Coming from someone who loves watching Star Wars as much as she loves reading Pride and Prejudice, is it any surprise that Rebekah fits right in around here?

Immediately following her first intro session, Jessica made a quick prediction about Rebekah… Jess said, “She has the right attitude to reach all of her fitness goals and then some.  I think she’ll be very successful.”  Now that Rebekah has proven Jessica right by losing close to 10 pounds, Rebekah’s got more big goals to think about this month in hopes of winning the latest IC Challenge.  In the meantime, please feel free to give her a High 5 next time you see her walking back to her car with an endorphin glow!

Thank you for the inspiration Rebekah!

Children are more likely to be physically active when their parents provide the example.  Lydia is no exception; these days her mama, Sally M., is the one trying to keep up!
