Happy Bday SHM!! Mar wk1

SMOKIN' HOT MOMMAS IS ONE!!

I year ago I sent out the first Smokin' Hot Mommas email to a small group of people. I am surprised and pleased that it has turned into a big group of people (most of which I have never met) and it has lasted for a full year!

This was the beginning.

"It seems that everytime I look in the closet I am frustrated that I have a big pile of skinny-minny clothes, a big pile of normal sized clothes, a smaller pile of after-baby clothes, and lastly a pile of maternity clothes- and which one do I reach for (even though my "newborn" is 14 months old) the after-baby clothes- and you can be sure those maternity clothes are sometimes tempting....disgusting!!So since I have zero self-control and motivation when it comes to exercising, I am going to start a SMOKIN' HOT MOMMAS group in the hopes that we call all get each other going!"

You see, we all have to start somewhere. I knew I could not do this on my own and thank all of you for helping me with my journey!

So in honor of it being SHM's birthday month you get one free day anytime this month that you can have cake and ice cream (or dessert) and eating after 7:30 without losing those points. In fact, you can count double points for those two categories!

Happy Birthday Smokin' Hot Mommas!!

I set up this group in order to be hot and spicy for the Race for the Cure that was the day before Mother's Day - thus the name Smokin' Hot Mommas.

Well that race is coming around again. It happens all over the country and is a fun, motivational, and inspiring event! I challenge you all to sign up and join in this race!! It is a 5K (3.1 miles) and totally do-able.

The website for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is http://ww5.komen.org/ . Look under the "Get Involved" and then the "Find a Local Race" link.

I have attached a 5K training guide for those who may need one. PLEASE, PLEASE, take this challenge. You will love the energy and exitement of committing to, training for, and accomplishing something like this. I had never be runner this time last year. I couldn't even run a mile without thinking I was going to die, so if I can do it you can too.

Also, I am very happy to announce that we will have SMOKIN' HOT MOMMA t-shirts for any group that would like to have them to wear for their race! Please let me know the number in your group, the sizes, and I will tell you the price. Last year we had these for our group and it was way fun to all wear them together! I think the price was around $12 a shirt, so it will probably be about the same this year. If you are in Atlanta then there is a Smokin' Hot Mommas team you can sign up to be on. (We can actually set this up for anywhere just let me know!) Almost all the races regardless of location are held in May.

We are looking for a slogan to go on the SHM t-shirts. I suggested "Don't choke on my SMOKE" or "so cool we're HOT!" but my husband hates them. I'll give 5 bonus points to the top 4 ideas and they will be posted on the blog where a poll will be taken. The winner will recieve 5 more bonus points! Now get creative and think Smokin' Hot momma style.


It's a new month! You have a clean slate and an enormous opportunity to ROCK IT!! Try for more points than last month. Try to up each week's total! Try to do your BEST!

Think of those bathing suits. They are getting closer all the time. Will yours require a swim skirt!?!? Ooooooh! I think it's lunge time!!

ATTACK MARCH!!

Recruit some new Hot Mommas and get those points and help others feel healthy and strong!!

head pops,
