Hi Fox 9 Viewers!
I hope you are enjoying my "Motivating Mommy" series on FOX! Moms always put themselves last...which is why I wanted to do this series. I wanted to help Moms get their "mojo" back, learn how to workout smarter, not longer, and learn healthy eating habits that they can institute for the entire family!
Remember, if you were not chosen for the "Motivating Mommy" series, I did not forget about you! I am holding a *FREE* Seminar and 20 minute workout April 13th from 6:30-7:30 pm in Wayzata at Redeemer Lutheran Church Gym (115 Wayzata Blvd). All you need is a set of 5 or 8 lb weights, a mat and a notepad. COME JOIN ME! Just email ali@corecamper.com to sign up. Feel free to come with a friend!

Each week, I want you to hear from my ladies from "Motivating Mommy" and how the journey is going for them! Here is a blog from some of them....
Start last Wednesday as a Motivating Mom on Fox 9 who is here to say is feeling pretty motivated! I feel good! I have completed 3 of Ali's workouts, survived some pretty sore legs and am looking forward to more! Extra benefit - my son (14 with Asperger's) is on board and eating much of what I am eating, helped me grocery shop and buy the right foods and even completed Ali's challenge with me last night. I am so proud of him - of us!! Eating the right stuff, more often and consistently is helping me to have energy throughout the day - yeah!! I know my metabolism has had a kick start because I actually wake up hungry now! What a concept! 🙂
Ok, so it's been 5 days on the Motivating Mommy team challenge and I can honestly say, I am truly loving this. I was thrilled to get picked for this challenge and my husband was really excited for me. We were at the cabin when I found out...I had to drive into town and "borrow" someone's Wifi (it was a coffee shop, so I'm not too bad of a thief), so I could check my email on my Kindle. No small feat seeing as I forgot my password. I called my husband from the car...I may have shrieked...and when I got home, my 5-year old had a Congratulations card all ready for me. She drew herself as a cheerleader on it.
I am feeling much better already! I am very excited for the final results and hope I will be able to continue this lifestyle after the series is over! I'm hoping I can put on a swim suit in Hawaii this summer!
I will admit I still struggle a bit to get up in the mornings to workout...thank goodness my husband is there to push me out of bed! I did skip Saturday, due to the company, but didn't let them let me miss 2 days in a row! I look forward to seeing changes in my life!!Thanks again for the opportunity Ali 🙂
t's been a few days since starting this new lifestyle and I have to say I feel terrific. The first day was hard, my legs felt like jelly and hurt more throughout the day but inside I felt really good. I did it! I accomplished day 1. With day 1 under my belt I was scared for day 2. I woke up barely able to move and my thighs felt like my thighs were on fire, but something was different... For the first time in a long time there was a fire inside ME. I had no idea how I would work out with my body feeling the way it did but I WANTED to. After all it only takes 20 minutes and I knew that if I could put in that small amount of time, I would feel even better and that fire inside me would become a little bit bigger. So I did the warm-up and sure enough, it got easier. Day 3 was even better, just a small amount of time and I had felt 10 times better than the day before. I felt strong inside! I felt like I was finally doing something for me. For all the time I put into my family, it felt really good to do something to better myself. It's been so good that I found time to do a workout on a day I didn't even have to! This fire inside me is growing bigger every day and it's burning up calories!!
