Heres the background:
A little over 3 years ago I was in really super shape thanks to a personal trainer, eating healthy and running after a 2-year-old nonstop. I quit the trainer because I was going through a divorce and the stress of it also encouraged me to eat comfort food. During the 1 1/2 year period following that I went through 2 jaw surgeries which left me anorexic looking each time I went through it. So I started with the perfect balance of muscle and fat, then gained more fat, then lost both fat and muscle after the first surgery, gained back the weight, then went through the same procedure and weight loss again.
Now I feel like, while still a petite person, I don't have the muscle tone or curves I used to have. I've been in the gym sporadically but it never stuck. My new life is very busy and I have a lot to fit in. Because I am a single mother, I can't get up early to go to the gym or go after work either. Plus my job has me sitting on my ass all day. So I need help! I am attending a big event in Miami this May and I want to be completely HOT. That gives me just under 3 months.
I am hoping that posting this here will gain me a couple things:
1. Advice on specific exercise routines that I can fit into my schedule. (I have a gym membership but the only times I will be able to make it would be ONE mid-day during the week and ONE weekend day. So I need a plan for fitting the gym in, as in what to do there to maximize my time, with some things I can do at home.)
and most importantly...
2. Encouragement and a reason not to quit!
Here are my before pics. I will post new pics every 3-4 weeks until the trip in May. All your advice and encouragement is very welcome.
