November Mom of the Month!

Jacqueline is our Mom of the Month for November! She joined us when she moved here to Yuma! All though she hasn't been with us long, I can tell she is a very fun person. She is always prompt to class and ready to workout. And Mason, well he is SO cute!!! I'm so happy Jacqueline joined Stroller Strides and she is making great friends, here is more to learn about her and her family!

Name: Jacqueline Cabrales Soto        

 

Hometown: La Puente, CA

 

Education: Citrus College

 

Stroller Strides Member since: September 2012

 

Members of your Family: 3 humans and 2 dogs

When did you meet your significant other: I meet my husband our senior year of High School. He originally wanted to date one of my friends but she wasn’t in to him. So I got stuck with him instead hehe

 

Tell us about your child: Mason is 2 years old, and is a total boy, but at the same time very cautious. Big time momma’s boy, but what little boy isn’t? Loves super heroes; broke his elbow trying to climb walls like spider-man, and loves to read. He talks a lot and can eat all day!!

 

Current/previous Career: Hair stylist / Make-up artist

 

What was your childhood ambition? To rescue all the stray dogs on the street and to build a home so they can run and eat freely. Now I can barely stand my own two dogs!!  haha

 

What does motherhood mean to you? Motherhood means to be kind, loving and patient. Being a mother is very hard but I am very lucky to have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom and watch him experience all his firsts!!

 

What has Stroller Strides meant to you? SS has helped me keep my energy up and my sanity. I love how if I start my day in a funk or frustrated, once I am done with my work out I am at peace with myself again. 

 

What is your favorite type of exercise (cardio or strength toning)? I can’t just pick one, I really enjoy both of them. Maybe not in the moment when I am doing them but I do enjoy feeling sore the next day.

 

What is your proudest moment? Knowing that I was able to have a family. It was always important for me to have a family and when my doctor told me that I might not be able to have one I was hurt and depressed. But God truly blessed me and my husband the day we found out I was pregnant!!

 

What are three of your favorite things (besides your family!)? Shopping, Going shooting and going on dates with my husband (if we are even lucky to do that)!!

Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us or makes you unique.

I snort when I laugh and my best friend says, “ I think what makes you unique is your persuasion, because you can make a freaking Eskimo buy ice” lol

 

If we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they say? Great mother/wife, started working out and I can sex him good!! (his words not mine) haha

 

What advice would you give to moms looking to get back into shape? To take it day-by-day. You didn’t gain weight over night so don’t expect to lose weight over night.
