Double AW (edited to delete photos again)
Ok, I'm going to toot my own horn here for a minute. I have two huge AWs.
1) I signed up through Team Livestrong to run the NYC Marathon in memory of my dad. It's my first marathon & I'm super-excited!
2) I mentioned in that 'AW yourself' post a week or so ago that my gym asked me if I would have some photos made that they can use in local print ads. Backstory: I did a 12 week nutrition/fitness boot camp-type program at the gym almost a year & a half ago and lost ~15 pounds. I have been going to classes at the gym since then and kept the weight off and am in even better shape. They want to use my photos in an ad to highlight that their clients maintain their weightloss. 
I said I'd post a pic when I got the proofs back. I'm not sure what pic they'll use, but here is one. I'll probably delete it after a bit.

Thanks! Actually it has. Twice.
I have an almost 3yr old & an almost 5yr old. BUT, if it makes you feel any better, I am pear shaped so I lose pretty quickly in my tummy. Butt/hips/thighs notsomuch. 
Jeepers. Here I was feeling all awesome about my definition lately. Nope.

You look amazing! How often do you have to workout to maintain that? Mostly weights? Cardio? A mix?
As a pp said, that would make me want to sign up for whatever the gym is offering! Well done!
Thanks ladies! You really know how to make a girl feel good about having a muscular body.
I do crossfit-type & strength workouts 3x/week & run 3x/week.

Can I ask what your diet looks like? Clearly you're on top of your excercise, but that low body fat has to be from a pretty kick ass diet too. You look amazing!
Wow, you look amazing! I am so jealous of your abs!
Keep up the good work, congrats! And that is awesome that you will be running in memory of your dad.
