Our
mom of the month program honors moms for their efforts to lead
healthy lifestyles, and gives us a chance to get to know them better
at the same time!
July's featured "Mom of the Month" is: Rachelle Street!
Congrats Rachelle!
Rachelle joined us at Stroller Strides this past December, and has been an active, dedicated member ever since. She works hard during her workouts, and brings a lot of fun and energy to classes. She recently rocked the Espirit de She 5k summer race (see pic below with fellow Stroller Strides mom Jenna), and is an inspiration to all of us. We are so glad to have her, Neela, and Nolin (when he's not at school), as part of our Stroller Strides program. Join us in congratulating Rachelle, and read on to get to know her a little better!

I am a stay at home mom since nolin was born. I have been working on and off since then for my old company, from home though.
In August I will start watching my friends son.
What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood is everything to me...it is exactly what I thought it
would be and so much more. I learned a lot about myself in the last 4
years.
Being a mom is the best job I ever had. I am so proud to be Mama to these two little loves of mine.
What has Stroller Strides done for you (or meant to you)?
Stroller Strides has helped me in so many ways. I have gotten my
body back but have also met some awesome people in the process.
It is not just working out for me...I like going because of the people too!
What is your favorite exercise?
My favorite exercise must be lunges.
My proudest moment as a mom...when kids say mom for the very first time...or any time after that;)
The time where they just come up and tell you that you are the best mom in the whole world:)
Really any moment!
What are three of your favorite things (besides your family!)?
Three things....shoes, shopping, eating!

If we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they say?
Loving, honest, funny, straight forward...
My husband might add the fact that I am very loud!!!!:)
What advice would you give to moms looking to get back into shape?
Don't try so hard to lose the weight. Have fun!!!! Take your
time...don't worry about the way you look or how much the baby cries. Be
yourself and have fun! Do the best that YOU can do!!!
The rest will follow!
