I grew up in Michigan being pretty active and playing basketball, but once high school came around I was too intimidated by the competitive nature of sports and even put off taking the required gym class until the very last semester of my senior year. It was that semester that I ran the mile for the first time without stopping (I’m sure it was the slowest mile I’ve ever run) and my love of running began.</div>

In college I continued to run and took kickboxing classes, but I also became anorexic. I hid it from my family, friends, and boyfriend (now husband). It’s really disturbing to look back on now, but after a lot of soul searching and a couple eye-opening trips to Africa, where surprisingly, overweight, not skinny, women are a symbol of beauty and prosperity, I started to get on the right track with eating and exercising normally.</div>

After college, I married Jamal, and we moved to Ft. Lewis, WA. I was working and couldn’t make it to any kickboxing classes, but I continued running and doing the occasional pathetic strength training. While Jamal was deployed he encouraged me to train for a race longer than the 5K’s I was used to running. I completed my first half marathon in 2010 while he was away and ran my first full marathon in Portland shortly after he came home.</div>

In April 2012 we were living in Richmond Hill, GA and had our son, Caleb. I became a Stay At Home Mom and continued running with my jogging stroller, but it was getting lonely and isolating. I was debating going back to work just to have adult interaction and a sense of worth. I knew Cassie and she kept telling me about Stroller Strong Moms in Savannah and how she had just started as an instructor there. I was reluctant to try it because I figured it would be lame and easy, but I mean, we’ve all seen Cassie, it obviously works for her, so I finally tried it in May 2013. Of course the first class killed me! I couldn’t believe how intense the workout was, and not only that, but everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I joined Stroller Strong Moms and I started feeling a lot less isolated as a mother and started to see toning in my body and results in my running. I always had the mantra that “slow and steady wins the race;” of course, I never actually won a race with that mentality, but I always finished without stopping! Now, I felt challenged by all the faster moms to work on my speed and I ran the 2013 Savannah Rock and Roll Marathon 45 minutes faster than my previous marathon! For the first time, I also stopped being so fixated on being skinny; I wanted to be strong, and I felt like everyone else had the same mind set. It was the first time I was around a group of women that didn’t talk about the size of their thighs or waists, but rather, the speed of their last race or how they could finally do real pushups.</div>

In May 2014 we moved to Columbus, GA. I was really sad about moving, but the two redeeming factors were that I still got to go to Stroller Strong, and I had a couple friends here already, one being Nicole, who was also a Stroller Strong Mom! I went to my last class in Richmond Hill on a Friday, moved on Saturday, and went to class in Columbus on Monday with a borrowed stroller from Nicole because mine was in the moving truck. It was so nice transitioning to a new place while still having SSM to keep my routine and get me out of the house. I was also 12 weeks pregnant with our second son and really wanted to work out during my pregnancy after seeing all the awesome moms who worked out pregnant in Savannah. </div>

I joined SSM thinking it was just a workout group, but it has really influenced me in the past year and a half that I’ve been a member. It’s motivated me in many ways, and even motivated my husband, who was beat once in a race by a certain really fast Stroller Strong Mom in Savannah (Lindsay P) and refused to let it happen again! It’s given me a community of mothers to seek advice from, and it’s also allowed me to show my son that an active, healthy lifestyle is important. I know I’m a quiet person, so I don’t voice it often, but truly the friendships and daily encouragement I have received from all the other moms and instructors in both Savannah and Columbus is something I’ll always carry with me, and every time I meet a mom that’s new to the class, I try to welcome her the same way I was welcomed.</div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;">I grew up identifying myself with the athletic lifestyle. I was taller, faster and stronger than most all my peers. Having said that; I didn't make the 8th grade basketball team, my pr mile time was a disappointing 7 minutes (set as a freshman in high school) and I'm reasonably sure I've not been able to run a full mile without walking since 2007. Those setbacks aside, I did manage to go to college on a track scholarship for the high jump. I did reasonably well and was certainly the strongest I would ever be for the rest of my life. In the indoor season of my sophomore year I developed a compression fracture in my L1, not a great injury for anyone but a career ender for me. </span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;">I spent the next couple of years dealing with the repercussions of a spinal injury, and besides trying unsuccessfully to get back into running a few times, I considered my active life retired. I married my husband Andrew in 2006 but between 2 deployments, several 6+ week military training exercises, and my going to school and back to work it never seemed like the right time for kids. In the spring of 2012 we found out we were expecting what would turn out to be Adrian in Jan 2013. </span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;">What we got was Adrian on Black Friday of 2012. I was home alone for the holiday while my husband visited family in Houston Tx. I noticed on Thanksgiving Day that I hadn't felt any baby kicks that day and resolved to see how things went overnight before going to the hospital the next morning. I spent the night convincing myself that I simply hadn't been paying attention and everything was fine but the next morning I drove myself to ft Stewart to make sure everything was ok. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">It wasn't ok. Somewhere between Richmond Hill and Hinesville my vision totally blacked out - while I was driving- and in the hospital the nurses were unable to rouse Adrian at all. His stats dropped suddenly and I had an emergency c- section. It was discovered I had had a placental abruption, robbing Adrian of nutrients and oxygen over an unknown period of time. Adrian was born with an APGAR of 2 but the staff was able to stabilize him and he was sent to the nearest NICU that could accommodate him in Augusta GA. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">He spent the next 3 weeks in the NICU in Augusta and 3 more in the NICU in savannah. It was a emotional roller coaster for my husband and I, punctuated with Andrew deploying to Afghanistan less than 24 hours after Adrian was released from the hospital.</span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;">Kelli Berger and her husband, who was my husbands captain at the time, came to visit us in the NICU. I didn't know her at the time but later she reached out to me to come to a FRG meeting in February. I had never ever involved myself in FRG in the past but something compelled me to go to this meeting, I'm so glad I did! Kelli told me about Stroller Strong Moms and I was intrigued. I started classes in March and it hurt so good! I've had various setbacks since then, Adrian rehospitalized for 3 weeks, a twisted ankle, a complicated second pregnancy, and then giving birth to my beautiful daughter Scarlett, but I've hung in because I love my SSM family and I despite my frequent whining- I love SLAMing.</span></div>

</span>I played soccer, softball and basketball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They offered a weight lifting class in high
school and I thought it would be fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was, I enjoyed lifting weights and working out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, I only did cardio when it was part of a sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to keep up with exercising and
lifting weights in college but it was inconsistent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I had always considered myself
athletic and in shape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">After
college I married Courtney and our life in the Army began. Wherever the Army
has sent us I’ve been active and gone to the gym.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Fort Lewis I played intramural soccer and
lifted weights, in Fort Knox I lifted weights and attempted to get into
running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was Fort Bliss that my
fitness really took off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only did I
left weights but I took classes too; Step, Yoga, TRX, Spinning and Intro to
Running. Intro to Running was taught by my friend Melissa who was in fantastic
shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of her I got into running
and ran 3 miles for the first time in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I still consider that moment to be one of my greatest
accomplishments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ran religiously 3
times a week and it was my top priority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I trained and ran in the El Paso Marathon in 2010.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few weeks later I was sidelined by chronic
shin splints and once I started to recover from them I was pregnant with
terrible morning sickness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">We moved
to Fort Benning in the summer of 2011 when I was just over halfway through my
pregnancy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to get back into
working out but being pregnant gave me severe back pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I had Connor some friends told me about
this class where you take your kids in the stroller and workout.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They swore that I would like it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was hesitant and felt disconnected from the
military community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(This is our first
time living off post.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead I worked
out with a friend even through my next pregnancy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I had Colin in February 2013 I had a
harder time losing the baby weight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
friend that I had worked out with for over a year moved to England and I
thought what did I have to lose?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In July
I looked up and decided to go to this “Stroller Class” that my friends had been
telling me about for 2 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was late
to the first class and instead of getting out and showing up late, I sat in my
car and cried.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I got out and walked
Britt David swearing that I’ll be early tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was and Brooke was my first
instructor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was so welcoming and
nice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I showed up regularly after that,
late or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Connor and I both made
friends. While I didn’t see any results in the first several months by February
I could fit into clothes that I had worn between my pregnancies and some
workout clothes from before I was pregnant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

joining Stroller Strong Moms I’ve run 8 5ks, ran the relay in the Soldier’s

I’ve been a Stroller Strong momma since September 2013. One of my friends from Germany who was living here told me about a group of moms she always saw working out in the park. So when we moved here in September, I decided to check it out…so glad I did! </span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;">Honestly I had never been very active growing up because there is not a strong sports culture in Peru, when I was in the high school I used to play soccer and volleyball, but after a few years I had no motivation at all. I was thinking more about my future and career.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br />
5 years ago I moved to Germany to learn the language and to begin a new career over there. There I was destined to meet my amazing husband Shane Naniot. He American and me a Peruvian living in Germany! Beautiful memories come back to my head…we had great adventures over there enjoying and learning more about Europe. I used to bike a lot over there because it is a common mode of transportation. After I met my husband we also did quite a bit of hiking. I tried jogging a few times in Germany but found it boring. I wasn’t too crazy about it and stopped altogether once I got pregnant in 2012. </span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;">A few months later we moved from there to the US with a half-cooked first baby in the oven! I gained a lot of weight while living in Columbus, GA because of the change in cultures, baby blues and different types of food (Fast food and big portions) It was hard to lose weight, so when we moved from Columbus to Richmond Hill I really wanted to try and do something different...<br />
<br />
Thanks to my husband for being my biggest motivator! He always pushed me to try to keep running or just go out to take a walk. He wanted to do a marathon in 2013 but unfortunately he did not because we had too much to do with the arrival of our son. Everyday that he was training for the marathon I wanted to run too but Lucas was so little at the time. So after we moved here, I joined SSM to try to lose some of that baby weight, with the added benefit that I have since met a terrific group of friends (for me and Lucas!) and enjoy working out more than ever, especially running. The motivation I get from this group of amazing ladies is phenomenal. After joining SSM, I went from having run hardly at all to completing several 5Ks and two 10Ks with my family. My First 5k was in October with a slow PR 40 minutes. After 3 months, my 5k PR was 27 min and I ran my first Savannah Bridge Run 10k in November 2013. I thought it was going to be too much for me but I did it! So I trained more and decided to do another 10k, the Savannah Hot Cocoa with a PR of 56 minutes. I was proud to participate in the Get Fit Challenge 2014. I lost many pounds, became stronger, and I am totally loving my body and myself! My goal is to keep building up to a marathon. My husband and I </span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;">were planning to run the Savannah Rock and Roll Marathon in November 2014, but since we are expecting baby number 2 we might have to hold off on that for now, but I’ll get there! </span></div>

I have loved being a part of these amazing ladies who push themselves to new levels and work so hard to accomplish their goals. Thank you SO much to Alexa for creating such an awesome fitness plan for both babies and mommies, and to Cassie and Kelli for the awesome workouts and MOTIVATION!

<span style="color: #660000;">I grew up training as a gymnast and competed until I graduated high school. When I got to college I thought I deserved to give myself a break for a while since I had spent so many years being pushed in the gym for gymnastics. I gained some weight but really I just felt lazy. That lasted a year. That summer, with my husband's influence, I picked up running (a little, like a mile and a half everyday) and it brought fitness back into my life. I didn't have to be in the gym for 4 hrs everyday to get fit, I just needed to do something everyday. From there I started running 1 half marathon every year and working out consistently, but working out by yourself can land you in a slump. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">My very intense husband was a great motivator but I couldn't exactly workout WITH my husband all the time. It wasn't until I was pregnant with Raygan that I heard about SSM and decided I would try it out once she was born. I started coming when Raygan was 5 weeks old. I came to of course get back in shape but also to work out and be pushed by other moms. I can honestly say I am in the best shape of my life because of stroller class. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">Some days I don't feel like coming, but I get out the door, and when I get to class I can't help but push myself once I'm there with everybody. It is that accountability and slightly competitive nature I have that make me push myself everyday. And I get to bring Raygan with me I want Raygan to recognize the importance of fitness in her dad and I's lives and for her to grow up not knowing anything different than fitness being a part of her daily routine. And my favorite question I get asked about SSM , " do you just meet up and walk with your babies?" Um no...Come try out a class!! Thank you moms for pushing me every day!</span></div>

Hi Ladies!<br />
I have been a member of Stroller Strong Moms since the grand opening in Savannah; I am so thankful for this wonderful outlet! </div>
<div class="p1">
I am the oldest of five children, born and raised in beautiful Savannah, Ga! Although I wasn't particularly athletic growing up, I've always had a penchant for taking care of myself and being fit. My healthier lifestyle kickstarted after gaining the "freshman 15" during college at Georgia Southern University. Feeling uncomfortable with the added pounds, I decided to take steps to create a better me both physically and nutritionally. I shared my goals with my high school sweetheart, now husband Bryan. Many days after classes we would go jogging or work out together at the rec center. Bryan had always been physically active, playing soccer since 5, basketball and football. I figured if I could keep up with him, I'd be in good shape. After college and marriage, we continued to workout together, albeit challenging with our new careers, schedules and grad school. </div>

Fall of 2010 I was looking for more than my neighborhood walks, treadmill jogs and spin class workouts. I wanted to take my fitness to a different level! I also wanted to have more energy for my fast paced and demanding job! So, I signed up for a 5:45am 5k beginners running program. After weeks of training, I ran my 1st official 5k ; the running bug attacked me and there was no looking back! Two months later I ran my second 5k, signed up for both bootcamp and half marathon training. </div>
<div class="p1">
I was on a roll until I surprisingly but happily found out I was pregnant. Due to my doctors orders I could not continue to run, so training for the half marathon had to be postponed. December 28th 2011 Bryan and I welcomed our incredible son Jonah to our family. After settling into my new role, I finally felt ( physically) ready to get back to exercising. I tried getting in shape alone but it was hard and lonely. I knew a group setting would get me going, but, I needed something that fit my new lifestyle as a mom.</div>

In the fall of 2012 my desire became a reality!!! I read on Southern Mamas that a moms workout group ( Stroller Strong Moms) was debuting in Savannah. I was sold when I read I could exercise with my son! So, I got my stroller, mat and baby ready for our first day of class. The grand opening was awesome, beautiful weather and friendly faces! My first few classes were very, very challenging. I was surprised that I could get full body workout with just a few pieces of equipment! I could barely keep up with the exercises without my knees buckling; I was out of shape more than I imagined. However, I was excited because SSM's was just what I needed, I had no excuses for getting in better shape.</div>

Since attending class with SSM's, I have lost more than 25 pounds. I also started running 5k's again, and now I am stronger and faster! This past fall I was able to train and complete my 1st half marathon.<br />
When I think I can't do another burpee, squat or push harder in a race, I think of my fellow SSM's who are probably tired too, but will push through until the end of the challenge. I feel so blessed to workout with a wonderful group of down to earth, encouraging and highly motivated women. Through SSM's both my son and I have made friends we look forward to seeing every week!<br />
Thank you Alexa, Kelli, Cassie and Lindsay for the challenging and exciting workout classes. Alexa, I'm so glad you followed your heart and brought SSM to Savannah!<br />

<span style="color: #660000;">Growing up, I was active but I never really made fitness an important part of my life. I was always comfortable with myself and the way I looked. As an adult I went to the gym, took a spin class here or a yoga class there. I would never have called myself fit, but I was happy. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #660000;">Then I had kids. Wow. I let my pregnancies do a number on my body. I gained more than the recommended amount of weight--by about 30 or 40 pounds! But I have my babies, and couldn't be happier about them. I just happened to let myself go in the process. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #660000;">In 2011 the Army moved my family to Columbus. My girl was 14 months old, and I heard about this group that was starting. Bring your stroller and your baby and workout at the park. Fantastic! I kid you not, I went to that park in September 2011. As usual though, I was late. I wussed out and didn't go to class. A few months later, I was pregnant and decided not to workout. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #660000;">After I had my boy, I finally made it back to that park. In 2013, I was so out of shape. Not myself. I was meeting new people who were all so supportive and polite, but I knew in my heart that I wasn't me. And I knew the only way I was going to change was to move my buns. Being unhealthy got me to my current state, and being healthy would get me back to myself. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #660000;">I tried so hard. And it payed off! Stroller Strong Moms is what got me going. The mix of running and strength training was exactly what I needed. I did a couch to 5K program on days I couldn't get to class and tried to cut out processed foods. I also made smarter choices. I doubt I'll ever be able to give up my coffee, but I can definitely do without the 400 calorie mochas and lattes!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #660000;">SSM gives me motivation, encouragement, and just the right amount of accountability. I can go at my own pace, tend to my kiddos, and push myself beyond my comfort zone. Sure, the kids aren't always pleased about being strapped in as we pass the playground. And yes, I bribe them with fruit snacks. But when I see my girl doing step ups in our front yard or my boy doing his version of a side plank, I know I've made an important, lasting impression on them.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #660000;">Today, I've gotten back to a better me. My kids are with me, learning, and are proud of me. My husband loves me however I am, but now he sees I am healthier and happier. His support and encouragement get me through each day. </span></div>

Well, the voice in my head tells me the answer is either, "Yes or Yes!"</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I’m originally from Augusta, Georgia but I have called
Savannah my home for the past 10 years. My husband and I met in college at
Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA. We still have fun going to all
of the home football games every fall. We have a little girl, Mary who is 4 years
old. When I was pregnant with Mary I felt sick all the time in the first 2
trimesters. The only thing that would make me feel better was to take a nap. Aside
from going to work I never exercised when I was pregnant. I was afraid I would
hurt her in some way. I gained 30 pounds during my pregnancy and I assumed the
pounds would disappear after having her. Boy was I wrong. I think it was the
accumulation of crazy hormones, not sleeping well and turning 30 that the
pounds did not melt away as I envisioned. I joined a gym but made excuses about
it because the nursery was stinky. After that I tried workout videos in my
house but I felt silly doing them by myself. A year later I joined another gym
but I quit going because the trainers got on my nerves and when I didn’t know
how to use the machines they made me feel really dumb. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">More than anything I enjoyed being outside running but I
would not stick with it. I scheduled a couple of 5K’s throughout the year in
hopes that I would get motivated. It worked for a little while but I would try
to “train” and run a couple of weeks before the 5k in hopes that I would
magically run faster in the race. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Last January I ran a trail run where I worked and lived at
the time. It was an all boys Boarding school located in Savannah. My husband
and I were house parents there and took care of 8-12 teenage boys throughout
the week. They had a fundraiser one weekend which was a 5K trail run and since
the starting line was in my back yard I felt that was a sign I needed to run. I
remember it being one of the worst runs ever. I could barely run half a mile
without stopping. I could hardly catch my breath. I walked and ran as fast as I
could and I told myself that would be my last “bad” run. I felt too young to
feel that bad. At the finish line of 43 minutes I almost passed out. Earlier
that week, when I was running at Forsyth Park I prayed that God would lead me
to a workout partner that would encourage me and teach me the right way to work
out, I knew I could no longer do it on my own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I am so thankful that God answered that prayer because
within the next couple of days I found an announcement on Facebook about
Stroller Strong Moms. They met at Forsyth Park on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays at 9:30. Perfect because Mary goes to school 2 blocks from there and
school started at 9! I emailed Alexa and told her I did have a little one but
the days she was in school but I would bring my empty stroller some of the days.
She said great! No problem! (Little did I know her son was in Mary’s class!!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">My first week was so hard. I felt like I would pass out
every time. That day we started the Get Fit Challenge and I could barely do 1
push up and could barely do a plank for 10 seconds. I felt so dumb. None of the
girls laughed and they were all so encouraging. I remember the first 3 months I
was sore everyday but so proud of my progress. My poor husband had to hear
about SSM everyday because I was so excited. At the end of the get Fit
Challenge I was awarded most improved. I owe it all to the inspirational ladies
in the group.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My friend Mandy
(another SSM) signed up for a 5K in early February. That day it was cold and
raining and she and her hubby came with their double stroller and I couldn’t
believe how dedicated they were. I ran the entire way only stopping once to tie
my shoe. I ran the 5K in a little over 29 minutes. I could not believe it. It
was all because of SSM and the amazing trainers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A month later was the Shamrock 5K Run. We all
made green tutus and dressed in our best green. Even some of our husbands came
out to support us. The Girls on the Run 5K was in May, such fun! Also in May was
the Savannah Mile. We decided it would be fun for it to be a family affair.
Jason rode his bike and Mary and I ran together. My sweet little girl’s legs
ran the entire way! We finished in less than 17 minutes! Not bad for a 4 year
old!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around July the girls
started talking about the Savannah Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I encouraged
them to do it but never even considered doing this. The more they chatted about
it I thought more about it. Lindsay Von told me that there was no reason I
shouldn’t do it. If I trained properly it was possible for me to do it. Davida
also encouraged me and would even text me at 5:30AM on Saturdays to make sure I
was awake to train! It was like a light bulb went off in my head, if these
girls who inspired me every day could do it, I did not want to let them down! I
continued coming to SSM and also joined another running group in September so I
could get my long runs in. I am so thankful and proud to say that on November 7<sup>th</sup>
I ran my first HALF MARATHON!!! I will say it was one of the most difficult
things I have ever done but also one of the most rewarding. To see my husband,
my mom and my little girl at the finish line was so amazing. For the past 3
years I have run the Savannah Bridge Run in December. It is extremely difficult
with a 5.5 incline but once you reach the top it is indescribable. I could
barely breathe and made it to the finish line in 44 minutes. This year I really
wanted to do better. During the Half Marathon I injured my foot so I wasn’t
able to work out and come to SSM as much as I wanted to and tried resting it
and running when I could. I prayed that I would do better and to my amazement I
finished 14 minutes faster than last year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dedication to SSM is unbelievable. Kelli and Cassie have been awesome as well.
I gained many new friends and I am the most fit I have been in years. I pray
that other moms take the first step and resolve to be a better you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It's that time of year again
for another Get Fit Challenge! The following are the details about Get Fit for
2014!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Get Fit For 2014 is a 10 week
program. In Savannah, it will start January 13<sup>th</sup> and 14<sup>th</sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and it will end on March 24th and 25th. In Columbus, it will start on February 3rd and 4th and will end on April 14th and 15th. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It will include both a
fitness assessment (during class time) and body composition
assessment (before or after class) at the start and end of the program. The fitness
assessment will include five different exercises that will be
counted/timed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The body composition
assessment will use skinfold calipers on three locations on your body to
distinguish percentage of body fat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">You will receive points in the following ways:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">-Class attendance<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">-Improvement in fitness
assessment<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">-Improvement in body
composition assessment<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">-Whether you reached the
fitness goal you set for yourself at the beginning<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This year we will break up participants into two groups based on the initial assessment results. This will make it fair across the board and encourage everyone to compete against others who are at their same fitness level. Points will be tallied
throughout the program and participants with the most points from each group at the end of the
10 weeks will receive gift card prizes!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">You will take a before/after
picture at class at the start and end of the program so you can see how much
the hard work payed off!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="text-align: center;">The past two years of the Get Fit Challenge have been a GREAT success!! Moms lost noticeable amounts of body fat and improved tremendously in their fitness assessments. The results were extremely impressive!! The below photos show last year's top finishers in Columbus and Savannah. Moms lost as much as 15 pounds over the 10 weeks and many dropped body fat percentages by over 5% (which is SUPER impressive). </span></span></div>

<div style="background: margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">My journey begins in
Michigan; Corunna, Michigan to be exact. I travelled a decent amount and
went to college just south of Chicago at Olivet Nazarene University, but for
the most part stayed in Corunna. I have one brother who is five years younger
than me. He is good at everything…school, athletics, making friends, you
name it. I’ve always struggled with my weight and it never helped that I
had a thin, fit brother who could run circles around me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">I followed my
husband, Ben, to Columbus about 5 years ago. When we met he was living in
Charlotte, NC and I was living in Corunna. He worked for a pharmaceutical
company and was at a conference in Chicago. My Aunt is a biochemist and
was at the same conference, sitting right next to him. She was forever trying
to pawn me off on someone and he was the target that time. Here we
are…married 4 years, have 2 beautiful girls, Chloe and Piper (affectionately
known as “The Pipe” because, well, she definitely has pipes), and a wonderful
life in Columbus, Georgia. Ben works for Synovus; he’s an IT Sourcing and
Category Manager. Basically, he negotiates IT contracts for
Synovus. This means we never pay full price for anything but we also have
to read all the fine print on EVERYTHING….it’s a blessing and a curse really.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">Believe it or not.
I’ve always liked to exercise but then would find reasons to quit. My
grandpa passed away the day after my 22 birthday and he was into
bicycling. My entire family is/was a cycling family and I have vivid
memories of riding in a Burley with my snacks and baby doll, Emily. After
Grandpa passed away I got back into cycling as a way to feel close to
him. I lost 40 pounds and felt great! I continued cycling until I
moved to Columbus. I’m not sure why I stopped…I guess I just did, again,
and subsequently put all the weight back on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">I had a rough third
trimester with Chloe and had to spend the last 3 months on bed rest because of
high blood pressure. I know that work caused most of this, but so did the
extra weight. In the end Chloe was an emergency C-Section with a very
hard recovery, not only physically, but emotionally as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; min-height: 13px; orphans: auto; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">I was introduced to
Stroller Strong Moms in May of 2012 when Chloe was 6 months old. I was so
excited and nervous my first class. Sara (Randolph) told me it was the
hardest workout I was ever going to do and she was right. I was very
intimidated but went anyway and after the first class was hooked. I
couldn’t keep up, I looked ridiculous in my workout clothes, my C-Section
incision ached, but OH MY WORD I had so much fun! After a month of SSM we
found out we were pregnant again. I came to class religiously during my
pregnancy…every day. I felt so good through my whole pregnancy and
continued to not be able to keep up and look ridiculous in my workout
clothes. But I was there! With Piper being due April 12 I planned
on March being my last month of SSM, but with KimKap working to shake that baby
out it was a hard class with Brooke W. that pushed Piper to her limit. I
swear it was all the squats and my pregnant version of sprints that made her
come March 29. Yup…I was in class the day I gave birth, not on purpose
though. I had another emergency C-Section but this time had the easiest
recovery imaginable. I couldn’t wait to get out of bed and walk around
the hospital and when we got home, I couldn’t wait to get outside and go for a
walk. We made a few appearances at SSM in April just to get out and get
some air (no working out, yet) and finally gave in and started back the
beginning of May. My midwife was supportive even though I was only 4
weeks postpartum and I’ve been coming ever since. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">Admittedly, I
haven’t lost the weight I’ve wanted to, or expected to really, but in the end,
I don’t think that’s my goal. My goal is to be the healthiest me I can be
and show my daughters that women are supposed to be strong and healthy and that
doesn’t always mean skinny with thighs that don’t touch. I was so excited
to run my first race EVER this month as part of a relay team in the Soldier’s
Marathon. Now I’m training to run a half marathon…who would have
thought? I know this is because of SSM and I never would have done
anything like this without the support and encouragement from fellow mommies on
the same journey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hi all, my name is Kim
Watson, or KDubs, or Wat Dawg, or my favorite, Liam's mom. It's an honor to be
Stroller Strong Moms October member of the month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have been an active person my entire life. As a child
growing up in Northeastern Ohio, I played numerous sports. I spent my summers
being behind a boat on one ski or sometimes barefoot and swimming in anything
bigger than a puddle. I continued staying active in high school by playing
varsity tennis and snow skiing in the winters. My passion for tennis continued
in college and I played Varsity tennis for Ashland University. Even though I
was active and athletic I always struggled with my weight and my body image. I
was taller than all my friends and just bigger. After college, I focused more
on my career as an Interior Designer than I did on my exterior body, but I
continued to stay active by walking my dog and practicing yoga.</span><br />

<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">In 2008 I met a tall, handsome man who has changed my life. On our third date
my now husband, Chris, informed me that at the "young" age of 36 he
decided to join the Army. Growing up I never met anyone in the military and had
no idea about military life. I did know that this was the person I wanted to
spend the rest of my life with. So I packed up my fabric samples, color chips,
married this man and moved to our first duty station Ft Stewart, Ga. Chris
deployed within a month of us moving, getting married and me packing up my
passion of interior design. I spent the first month of this year apart never
leaving the house. Some days I didn't get off the sofa. One day it occurred to
be that not only was I depressed, but I was also fat and lazy and it was time
to do something about it. I started walking my dog, joined a gym, fell in love
with Spinning, got back to yoga and running. By the time Chris came home for
R&R 9 months later I lost 30 lbs and felt great. I kept the weight off an
stayed active and healthy, and became a certified Spinning Instructor. When
Chris came home from his first deployment we ran the Savannah River Bridge Run
together and continued to be a healthy active couple. Chris was home a few
months before he was recruited by the 160th. We had to move from Ft Stewart to
Ft Bragg for a year of school. Once we were settled in I was hired to teach
Spin on post. Two weeks into teaching Spin I found out that I was going to
finally be a mom. I was a high risk pregnancy because I was 39. But the doctors
weren't worried because I was healthy and fit. I loved teaching and think that
is why Liam loves loud music now. </span><br />
<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">On January 9th, 2012 I was on my way to teach
Spin when my doctor called to tell me that I was having a baby boy with Trisomy 21.
Needless to say I did not teach that class. But I was back in front of the
class and on my bike the next day. I made a commitment to my unborn baby that
day. That I would NEVER give up on him or myself. I WOULD live a healthy life
and be a positive role model. The end of my pregnancy was difficult I developed
pre-eclampsia and I made the Good Year Blimp look like a bath toy. I had to
stop teaching Spin and I was so swollen I couldn't walk and was on bed rest. I
was MISERABLE!</span><br />

<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">After 31 1/2 hours of labor Liam was born via C-section on June 8th, 2012. I
started walking that day. Two laps around the nurses station. The day I had my
staples removed I was excited to get on the scale. I just had an almost 9 lb
baby. I couldn't wait to see the scale move at least 20 lbs (in my mind). I got
on that scale and.......WTH I gained 5 more lbs? Who has a 9lbs baby and gained
weight? This girl! But I didn't pout too long. I looked at that beautiful baby
and remembered that promise. I ate healthy, I walked everywhere I could as
often as I could in that hospital. Once we were all released I continued
walking everyday at home. Everyday a little farther. My first recorded walk
after I had Liam was June 26; I went 2.05 miles and my pace was 19:49/ mile. I
was slow but I was going. Liam did have some complications at first. We were busy with lots of doctors appointments and adapting to being new parents. But I never made an excuse I walked everyday.
I went back to yoga four weeks after Liam was born. I was losing some weight
but it was slow and I was getting frustrated. Chris graduated from school and we were moving back "home" to
Savannah. My friend Jill McCabe told me about an exercise group that was just
starting that I would love. It was called Stroller Strong Moms.</span><br />
<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
Once we moved back I wasn't even unpacked and I had my baby in the BOB and was
at Forsyth. I thought how hard can this be. Ummmmm HARD! But the people were so
nice and helped me. The first person I remember meeting was this sweet, kinda
shy girl named Kelli. She had a rockin bod and her baby was only a month older
than Liam. So I thought this class must work. I joined right away. I noticed
some weight loss and my fitness level improving. But it was still slow. I was
going to yoga on Mondays and Stroller Strong on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I thought that
was enough. WRONG!! So I bumped it up to Stroller Strong everyday but Mondays
and Thursdays Things started changing a little faster. But then I heard about the
Get Fit Challenge. That's when things really started changing. <br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background: color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">During the Get Fit challenge, I put 100% into it. I would look at Liam when a
run hurt, and I would run harder. I know he is going to have challenges in his
life. I will not allow one of the challenges being teased for having a fat mom.
I would think about this and run faster, do one more push up. I ended up coming
in 2nd in the challenge. I was proud of all I accomplished but my journey
wasn't over. I overheard Alexa talking about a Triathlon. I have a close friend
that competes in many and I thought she was crazy. My idea of a triathlon was
running on Friday, swimming on Saturday, and going to a bike ride Sunday. But I
just kept thinking about it being a good challenge. I trained for over 2
months. I would go to Stroller Strong 5 days a week and swim 2-3 and bike 2 and
run 2. With the support of my girls Alexa, Cassie and Elyce we rocked that
triathlon. </span><br />

And my journey is still not complete. Stroller Strong Moms has changed my life
completely. I've lost 100 lbs since the day I had Liam. I can't go a day with
out working out and not feel guilty. I think about everything that goes in my
mouth and if its worth it. The instructors and other Moms at Stroller Strong
are such a support network and I wouldn't have made it where I am without them!

Thanks for S.L.A.M.ing with me!</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The month of September was a VERY EXCITING month for SSM. We had two HUGE parties! Columbus celebrated its TWO year SLAMiversary and Savannah celebrated its ONE year SLAMiversary! </span></h2>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-large;">SSM Columbus </span><br />
Columbus celebrated two years with a Carnival Class! Mom's rotated through six carnival themed stations including corn hole, obstacle course, dice, bocce, gravitron and three-legged and wheelbarrow races! As moms shuffled through stations they collected tickets to be used at the raffle at the end of class! Kids enjoyed everything carnival, from water balloons to parachutes to cotton candy to popcorn and more!!! There were over 50 SSMs who celebrated two years of SLAMing with us! We recognized two SSMs who have been with us since day one on September 12th, 2011....can you guess who they are? Diane Molstad and Ashley Necessary! There were tons of prizes at the end of class including Big Dog Gift Cards, headbands, D'Allens Hair Salon vouchers, Sweet Frog coupons and more!<br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">SSM Savannah </span><br />
<br />
Savannah celebrated one year with a Field Day Class! Mom's came dressed in a shirt from their 'glory days' whether it was a treasured t-shirt or uniform from sports, band or cheer, math camp or Pac 12 Champ, they were sporting it! Moms split into three teams and rotated through six fun field day stations including bean bags, long jump, obstacle course, sponge relay, three-legged races and chariot races. After class, moms and kids enjoyed a fabulous potluck and popcorn! There were tons of prizes including a gift card from Fleet Feet and a 'surpise and delight' from Lululemon Athletica Savannah Showroom of 5 headbands and an awesome yoga mat!<br />

Looking back on the past two years, I am so proud of what SSM has become. I am grateful for the wonderful SSM team in Columbus who have kept my vision alive and taken it far beyond where it was when I left. Both the instructor team and the members in Columbus continue to amaze me on a daily basis with their drive, enthusiasm, motivation, teamwork, loyalty, and desire to be fit and healthy mamas. Savannah mamas and instructors can be described in the same exact words and I am so proud to be able to see ridiculous amounts of fitness improvements and growth over the past several months. There is no doubt that SSM changes lives and allows moms to develop lasting friendships with other women who share a common goal: to become fit, healthy and happy moms who set an example for their children on a daily basis. Go mamas! I LOVE SSM!!! Keep SLAMing!!!! </div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">I'm from American Samoa but I grew up
in Hawaii for the most part. Growing up with 12 siblings in the family was a
huge challenge for me especially when it comes to being the youngest child. It
wasn't long for me to figure out that I had a passion in volleyball but then
again that was the only sport that my siblings and I would play all day long.
Sometimes our parents would yell at us about not finishing up our chores
because we were always on the court playing. My senior year in High School I
received a full ride to a Military College in Roswell, NM for volleyball. At
first I kinda hesitated because of the location but then at the same time I
wanted to leave the Island and explore new places so I accepted it. My family
warned me about how hard it was going to be since it's a military school, but I
never gave it any thought. The only thing I was focused on was that I was
finally getting off this rock. Well little did I know they were right. There
was more to this school other then the academic side of it. It wasn't a regular
college, we wake up at 0530 just to get ready for PT before we start school at
0800. I thought to myself what did I just get myself into. But the thought of
my parents not being able to afford my education and the thought of not wanting
to go back and get stuck on that rock again kept me going and pushing me
forward. Things started to settle down and I was getting the hang of the
military way of living. I decided to checkout the ROTC department. I was in the
best shape ever and got recruited in a female team to compete in the Bataan
Death March. This was my first full marathon ever. The pain was
excruciating, but worth every step I took because it was in honor of the
service members that sacrificed their freedom and lives to defend the Philippine
Islands during World War II. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 21px;">It wasn't long after I graduated in May
2004 I decided to move with a very good friend of mine to his home town Tifton,
GA. I thought about continuing my education by attending Valdosta State
University but then was put on hold when I found out I was pregnant with my
first child. I thought my fairytale had come true when I had my son in August
of 2005. Even though I was beyond happy with God blessing me with the most
amazing and handsome little angel. My heart was shattered into pieces by the
betrayal of love. After that I thought well maybe the New 2006 will give
me a new head start. Sadly my mom passed away in February of 2006 so it didn't
take me long to decide that it was time for me to move back home, start fresh and
raise my son near family. Plus I was missing the rock that I was so desperately
wanting to leave after all. After being home for a couple months I landed
a job with AAFES and 1 year later I met my husband at the bowling alley through
some good friends of mine. It wasn't long until I found my way to love and
happiness again. After 1 year of dating we decided to tie the knot in October
30, 2008. In 2011, we received our orders to move to Fort Benning, GA.
During that time we also found out that I was pregnant with my second
child. I was 7 months pregnant when we arrived to Columbus, GA. As big as
I was at the time, mixed together with the GA heat, it was clear to me that I
didn't even want to step foot outside of the apartment. In January of 2012, we were
blessed with the arrival of our son Derrick.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 21px;">After the delivery, things were going
through my head on how I'm going to lose weight and start getting back into
shape. Now that we're so far away from family I don't have anyone to
watch the kids just so I can work out at the gym. I was only 5 weeks postpartum
when I saw Stroller Strong Moms on the WRBL news. It caught my attention and as
soon as the news lady said to check them out on </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 21px;"><a href="http://strollerstrongmoms.com/">strollerstrongmoms.com</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 21px;">
I jumped right on it. It didn't take me long to contact Alexa on Facebook
asking how much it cost. It was funny how one night I was telling my husband
that I gained so much weight and wanted to change my lifestyle around to
telling him that I found someone to help me get there. He liked the idea and
decided to go with me and check it out. I didn't know what to expect, all I was
thinking about was I needed help with losing the weight and this might just be
the right place for me to be. At first I got intimidated because when I got
there I didn't see any other big person there beside myself. I had this idea in
my head that all these skinny ladies in class are probably stuck up, rude and
are gonna make fun of how out of shape I am and then I'm not gonna come back,
after all this was a free class anyway. Boy was I wrong...Alexa had this big
smile on her face when she greeted me, she was so friendly and nice. At the
time I didn't know anybody but day by day I started to make new friends. It
wasn't only the friendship that I was developing but I was also starting to
notice the difference with my body. Every muscle in my body was hurting and I
could barely walk the next day. I was always the last person to come in but it
didn't stop me from going...I was always telling myself that someday I will be
able to run like the others. I will become a runner but today I will gladly
bring up the rear on the walkers side. After 5 weeks in, I signed up for my
very first 5k run/walk with my family. I was hooked after that. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 21px;">I started making goals for myself,
pushing myself further, running on my own on the weekends when there were no
classes at the time. Slowly but surely I was getting there. I went from not
being able to run a mile to totally running a 5k without stopping. Since
I've been with SSM for a year and half now I've participated in many 5K's,
10K's, 2 Half Marathons and Run Across Georgia. This class helped train and
prepare me for many of my own personal goals as well as many other challenges.
My fellow SSM's gave me the motivation, inspiration, and confidence to do
things that I never thought possible for me to do. I never in my life thought I
would be doing all these amazing things and I owe it all to the Stroller Strong
Moms. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">As a child growing up in
Maryland, I was very physically active and energetic. I played soccer and
basketball until sophomore year of high school, and always enjoyed roller
blading and gym workouts. I attended the University of Maryland where I studied
journalism. At the end of my junior year, Jamie (my high school sweetheart!)
and I got engaged with a wedding planned for the following summer. Like many
brides, I worked hard to get in tip top shape for my impending nuptials, and
walked down the aisle August 1, 2008, sans the ten pounds gained during college
and feeling amazing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">The next year brought a
move to Texas and our first deployment. Though we had faced distance throughout
college, nothing prepares you for the long months of separation that come with
deployment. This, coupled with a frustrating job, lack of career direction and
being far away from home for the first time, I fell off the fitness wagon -
hard. It took seeing a picture of myself at my best friend's wedding at my heaviest
to realize how much needed to change. I began taking yoga classes and fell
completely in love with the high energy, kinetic practice of Vinyasa. I decided
to take the plunge and get my 200 hour teaching certification in February 2011.
I also greatly changed my eating habits, cutting out all processed foods and
focusing on eating clean.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I was feeling healthy and
strong when Jamie and I decided to expand our family in late 2011. We then
resettled in Savannah and on July 16, 2012, proudly welcomed James Michael into

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Eager to get back in shape
and combat some minor baby blues, I was so thrilled to find Stroller Strong
Moms right as Alexa opened doors in Savannah. I attended class 2-3 times a week
at first, and met some amazing women and beautiful babies. The New Year's Get
Fit challenge really kicked my fitness up a notch. I lost the last couple
pounds of baby weight, in addition to 10 more pounds, allowing me to snag 3rd
place in the challenge! I can honestly say that I am currently in the best
shape of my life. I teach and practice yoga several times a week and attend SSM
class 4 days a week. Through class, I have found a passion for running and more
specifically RACING!! I recently got a 5k PR of 20:50 while pushing my son in
the stroller, and two weeks later broke 6 minutes in the Savannah Mile race. I
am excited to begin training with my fellow Stroller Strong Moms to tackle the
Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon in November. I never in a million years pictured
myself falling in love with running and owe so much to Alexa, Kelli and Cassie
for awakening and encouraging this passion. Being a Stroller Strong Mom has
made this deployment not only bearable, but truly enjoyable as I am surrounded
by so much warmth and support in class everyday. I am a part of an amazing
community of healthy, strong, kind women and feel so blessed to have SSM in my
life. </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

It is with great sadness that we have to say goodbye to Jill and family as they PCS to Fort Campbell, Kentucky in the middle of June. Jill was such an awesome instructor and motivator and she will be missed. We had a super fun class for Jill at Callaway Gardens on Friday and a fabulous potluck at Miss Joanie's house (Reba's awesome mom) to celebrate Jill and all she has done for Stroller Strong Moms. We will miss you Jill and Teagan!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I was born in Ft.
Dix, NJ and lived there for 10 years, before moving to Columbus, GA. Shortly
after moving here I started to get involved with sports. I played soccer,
basketball and softball as a kid and even ran cross country in middle school.
In high school I played basketball and was on a traveling softball team for 2
years. I received an athletic scholarship to a school in Virginia for softball
and basketball, but decided to leave after my first year because it was not a
good fit for me.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

decided to join the Army and it was in training in San Antonio, TX I met
my husband, Tony. I came back home to Columbus to finish nursing school while
in the army reserves and Tony's first duty station was Ft. Stewart, GA. We kept
in touch, started dating and before we knew it he was stationed at Ft.
Benning and we were married. While in college I played a few intramural sports
and started to run again! I ran my first half marathon in 2008 and a few months
after was pregnant with boy #1.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">After Roman was born
we moved to Monterey, CA for 15 months, while my husband learned Arabic. I
eventually started running again and ran a few 5Ks while we were there.
We had our second son, Jalen, a few months after moving back to Columbus
in January 2012. After that pregnancy I really wanted to get back in shape! I
started with Insanity and that summer began running in 5K races again. My
husband deployed that summer so if I wanted to run the boys had to come with
me. The three of us ran a series of 5ks and that is when I first saw the
stroller strong moms. I didn't think to join the group because I thought my
running routine was working just fine for me and I really did not think my boys
would behave during class. I was doing fine until the holidays when I just lost
my motivation to run, so in February I went to my first class at Britt David
and regret not joining sooner! By the end of the first week I was telling my
husband how sore I was and I was so excited about it because it had been a
while since I had that great of a workout. Although I have not been a member
for long I have already noticed a huge improvements in my running. I have
already cut down my pace by almost 40 seconds and even PR'd by almost 3 minutes
pushing my double jogger! SSM has become a part of our daily routine, and
the boys and I love coming to class and working out with such an amazing group
of women!!</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

My name is Jessika Haselbauer and I have been a proud member
of Stroller Strong Moms here in Savannah, Georgia since the grand opening in
August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so thankful that my friend,
Marie Kelley (who was a part of the Columbus SSM family) gave me a heads up that
Alexa was coming my way! After reviewing the website and watching the videos I
was pumped, I knew this was the kick in the butt I needed to lose the extra
weight I was carrying and overall to just be fit and healthy once again. SSM
has not only lived up to all my expectations but has exceeded them!</div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I grew up all over the world as an “army brat”, from
Vilseck, Germany to Fort Sill, Oklahoma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Growing up my dad always tried to keep us active whether we were taking
a family hike, bike ride, swimming, or just kicking the soccer ball around the
back yard. Along with those activities I took tap, jazz, and ballet for 6 years
and played 2 years of soft ball for my church league.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking back I believe the shift from a healthy
lifestyle happened gradually and due to many reasons. Life threw me several
curve balls and within a matter of two years I had went through losing a child,
divorce, and then became a working single mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Food quickly became a comfort for me and
working out took a back burner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
putting myself through nursing school and achieving my RN I finally was ready
for a change and my focus shifted back to health and fitness. I started taking
spin classes, running after work, and enrolled in a 12 week boot camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I dropped 15 pounds in 6 months and felt
strong and determined to stay fit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

A short time later I met a wonderful man who renewed my
faith in love and happiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
married April 2009 and we have journeyed together from Kansas to Alabama, and
then onto our present home here in Savannah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have a 9 year old daughter, Jayla and a 9 month old, Tristin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After having Tristin I again found myself
overweight and out of shape!! The road back to being fit has not been easy but
SSM has made it possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the
support and encouragement from everyone has made me push harder when I wanted
to quit and reach goals I never thought possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could not even run a half mile when I
started class back in August without feeling like I was going to die. Two weeks
ago I ran a 5K at a 10 minute/mile pace and felt amazing doing it!! I could
barely crank out 2 to 3 push-ups in August and now I can do 25! I have lost a
total of 26 pounds over the past 6 months and have toned and trimmed up in so
many areas. Both of my children enjoy attending SSM class with me especially
because of all the playgroups and activities we get to be a part of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so great to come to class and see
everyone’s smiling faces and know we were all there for a common goal to be fit
and healthy!!</span></span></div>

and healthy life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you truly put in
the effort and time SSM will change your life!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

We also welcome both Kelli Berger and Cassie Cercy to the instructor team in Savannah (both are pictured above as Thing 1 and Thing 2).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">Farewell to Julie...</span></h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">With the welcoming of new instructors often comes having to say goodbye to someone. Our awesome and loyal SSM Columbus instructor, Julie, will be PCSing to Colorado at the end of March. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Julie and family and we wish them the best of luck on their next adventure in Colorado. Please join us in celebrating Julie on Saturday, March 23rd at 5pm at the Clubhouse at Greystone at Columbus Parks Apartments with Potluck food and fun. We will also have a fun tribute class to Julie on Friday, March 22nd at Britt David Park. There will only be one class that day, so please head over to Britt David to honor Julie and all the time, commitment, fun, motivation and friendship she has given to each and every Stroller Strong Mom!!! </span><br />

<br />My name is April Rebecca West and I have been a member of the Stroller Strong Moms in Columbus, GA for almost 5 months. It has not been long as most, but I am so grateful that Nicky Neveau and Jamie Franco led me to the program and this great group of girls because this program is AWESOME and it truly WORKS! </div>

Growing up I took 10 years of dance, played soft ball, and was trying out for my high-school track team when a hit-and-run accident derailed all of that. I was told that I was lucky to keep my leg, but having a surgically-emplaced steel rod in my leg crushed my dreams of ever making the track team. Being on crutches for two years also slowed me down a bit but, I survived, and eventually lost my nickname of "CRUTCH". During college I tried to stay active but..... I remained more of a casual walker. After finishing my degree in Elementary Education, I began teaching Kindergarten and tried to keep up with their high-intensity levels. Kindergarten proved to be my favorite age group to teach because they are so wild and active but you can literally witness all of their accomplishments from the beginning of the school year until the end. While teaching school and trying to keep up with my husbands active life-style in the military, I tried to get back to challenging myself physically. I began with aerobics, yoga, cross-training, swimming and doing a lot of run/walk races. Over the last couple of years I have ran 5K's and 10K's wherever we are stationed and hope to complete many more when we get to Washington state (we are about to PCS to Ft. Lewis, WA).</div>

Larry and I also have a sweet little girl named Lily who is 14 months old; she has also loved attending SSM and has had a wonderful time with the other SSM babies! Hopefully, our love of the outdoors and physical fitness will inspire Lily. </div>

Our upcoming PCS will be bittersweet for me because this means that I will be leaving a great group of girls who have motivated me to push myself and to try to get better every time I am around them. This move wasn't surprising as we knew our time in Columbus was short; my husband was only here to attend a course at Ft. Benning from August thru January. But, I never anticipated finding a program like Stroller Strong Moms or meeting such friendly people. Thank you all, Lily and I will miss all of you. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">Effective yesterday, we added 5 days a week at Lake Bottom Park (plus 2 saturdays a month) and 3 days a week at Britt David Park (M,W,F)!!!!! We are SO excited about this because it means Stroller Strong Moms is growing!!!!! In order to accommodate all of our moms and keep classes smaller, we are offering two park options for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We encourage those who live on the north end of town to attend Britt David on those days! </span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
married my husband, Stephen, in 2008 and quickly realized that to fit in with
his family I had to become more athletic. He comes from a family of
runners and tennis players. I ran my first half marathon in 2009 and have
since run three more as well as adding duathlons to my training. We
welcomed our baby girl, Norah, in July of 2012. We moved to Savannah from
Orlando at the beginning of September with our then 8-week old due to a new
employment opportunity for my husband. I am originally from the Atlanta
area, so being closer to family with a new baby made the decision to move a
very easy one. I won’t lie, I was nervous about coming to a new town and
trying to meet new people. I was also trying to figure out how to shed
some of the baby weight that I gained and get back into running and getting
fit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

came across the SSM website while searching for mommy and me type classes in
the Savannah area. I read all about Alexa and what the class was
about. It sounded intriguing and I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to give
it a try. When I started the classes, Norah wasn’t quite big enough for a
jogging stroller but we made it work and now coming to class has become part of
our daily routine. The stress of meeting new people has long been
gone. The ladies that show up for SSM classes are a fabulous group of
women that are incredibly motivating and make coming to class really
enjoyable…even if we are all complaining about how sore we are from a previous
day’s workout! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

my daughter that an active lifestyle is a fun and important part of our
lives. We have now done our first family 5K (with hubby pushing jogger)
and I look forward to many more. It was great to share this race with
many of the other SSM moms. Thanks Alexa for pushing us hard every
workout and being a great instructor, and for all of the moms that are right
there with me as we get our sweat on! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Last year's Get Fit Challenge was a GREAT success. Moms lost noticeable amounts of body fat and improved tremendously in their fitness assessments. The results were extremely impressive!! The above photo shows last year's top finishers. Moms lost as much as 15 pounds over the 10 weeks and many dropped body fat percentages by over 5% (which is SUPER impressive). </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Stroller Strong Moms have been preparing for months with group long runs and interval training for the November half marathons. I don't think there was a weekend that went by in Columbus where moms weren't getting together to do a long run. I loved seeing moms work together toward their goal. Stroller Strong Moms participated in two different Half Marathons over the first two weekends in November, the Savannah Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon and the Soldier's Half Marathon in Fort Benning. Everyone did awesome! What an accomplishment!!!! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">And I leave you with another awesome quote. It can't be more true that you get out of something what you put into it. If you attend class frequently and work your butt off, you will get results. Your fitness level with skyrocket and you will notice positive changes to your body and your energy levels. We have had the joy of watching the transformation take place in so many moms and it's awesome!!! Keep up the good work ladies and keep SLAMing!!! </span></div>
