Mom of the Month for May

Nicole Fitch

Who are the members of your family?
My husband Matt, 14 year old son Jacob, 9 year old stepdaughter Lexy, 2 year old Emily, and 6 month old Jessie


What was/is your previous and/or current career?
I was a teacher for 8 years...7 years in 1st grade and 1 year in 5th grade. I am currently staying home this year, but am looking at going back part-time next school year in kindergarten.

How long have you been a Stroller Strides member and What has Stroller Strides done for you?
I joined Stroller Strides February of 2009. I went back to work full-time the following August so I stopped going. I loved the workout and the friendships I made that I joined back in April. Stroller Strides is more than a great workout for moms but a place friendships are built. I love talking and sharing stories with other moms. The Mom Night Outs are fun too!!

What are some of your favorite things (besides your husband and kids!)?
I love to take baths. I don't get to do it often, but I love to sit, read a good book or catch up on my gossip magazines, turn on the jets and RELAX!! I am not to be bothered during this time. It's usually after the little ones are in bed!!

Tell us something about you that would surprise us.
I'm a daredevil...at least I used to be before I became a mom. I have been bungie jumping and skydiving. I would love to go do some more daring things, but my kids come first!!

What is your favorite exercise/ or station to do in Stroller Strides class? Ummmm...well...I don't think I have a favorite, but I really like to focus and my abs, obliques and butt. So I would have to say the exercises that focus on these areas!

What is your favorite food / or restaurant?
I love Mexican food...which includes margaritas. Javiers has amazing food and the margaritas are to die for!

If we asked your husband what he thought your best qualities are, what would he say for personality? physically?
I think my husband would say that I am very patient. We definitely balance each other out. Physically I would have to say two things...chest and butt. I sometimes have to remind him that my eyes are on my face not on my chest (and I rarely wear anything revealing) and he always comments on my butt...not really sure why...haha!!

I have been a member for a little over 4 months now, and its been amazing. I started seeing results shortly after I started and now I think I'm slightly obsessed with attending class! I feel like I have more energy and I really just like the way I feel after a good workout! Plus I'm really enjoying meeting other moms and making some new friends :)

What are some of your favorite things (besides your husband and kids!)?

well, my favorite thing to do in the summer is go to Lake Havasu, we are really looking forward to getting Jameson out there this summer because its such a big part of our lives. I love to snowboard and I really enjoy the occasional bottle of wine, with a trashy episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills lol!

Tell us something about you that would surprise us.
This is kinda lame, but i really sadly cant think of anything else.My brain is kinda on overload haha! So here it is, I used to figure skate and I traveled all over the U.S competing. I should of continued but I got burnt out and quit after many many years.

What is your favorite exercise/ or station to do in Stroller Strides class?

I'd have to say I love to use those green bands around our ankles, it kills, but man i feel like its doin something!

What is your favorite food / or restaurant?

Some of my favorite restaurants are Fish in a bottle, Fitness Pizza and Mastro's

If we asked your husband what he thought your best qualities are, what would he say for personality? physically?
I called him to ask him actually, because i was really kinda curious what his response would be, so here it is ladies. He says the best qualities about my personality is my sense of humor (not sure if he's laughing with me or at me), and he says the way i know "everything!" Think he's being a little sarcastic with that one! I didnt need to ask him about the physical aspect, because i already knew what that would be, my boobs. Hope ya'll got a little laugh out of that lol!
