Before- Size 7 After – Size 0
Can you be a mom and still have a dream body? I think so! My name is Vanessa Tillemans and I am the mother of four children. When I dropped seven sizes in college, I thought it was challenging to maintain that kind of body then. Then marriage and motherhood happened. If someone had given me this job description, I bet my nuptials would have looked like a scene out of Runaway Bride.
With so much to do, where do moms find the time (and energy, for that matter) to exercise and eat healthy? I’ll be the first to admit that it is hard! Some days I do really well; others I struggle. My children are young (two boys – ages 7 and 5; two girls – ages 2 and four months), so I have not consistently had a dream body since I become a mom. I also homeschool them, so having them home all day means I need to get creative regarding my fitness schedule. I often find that I have to compromise and improvise so that I can work toward the dream body I know I am capable of having. And eventually, I get there.
Here are my little darlings: From left to right – Fabriella (pronounced faw-bree-ella). We call her Fabi (pronounced faw-bee) for short, Lennon, Carly, and Zachary.
