Ashely has an incredible story and I love hearing the success she is having...enjoy this good read!
It has been 2 1/2 years since I decided to change my outlook on food, exercise, and health. When my daughter was 5 months old, I knew I needed to make a change. I had gained a good 40 lbs (wasn't baby weight) that I needed to loose and gain a better self esteem. I joined a gym and worked incredibly hard. I changed my eating and in the course of 11 months lost 49 lbs. I was in the best shape of my life.

Shortly after that, I found out I was pregnant with my son. I continued to workout and started participating in clean eating groups. Once again, I took the correct steps of exercise and healthy eating to keep in shape. I exercised until the week my son was born. When he was 3 days old, I only weighed 5 lbs more than before I got pregnant!!!
I now run free exercise groups and have an amazing support group with other moms who workout from home!
It takes time and effort to reach your health goals. They won't simply come if you don't apply yourself. It's not a quick fix, but a lifestyle change. I have not counted a single calorie and have never felt deprived. Clean eating and exercise has changed my life.
My life has changed for the better, my self esteem has improved, and I have energy to run around with my kiddos. It's never too late to start. I'm so grateful I took that first step and couldn't imagine my life any other way.
