Six years ago, I was a stressed out, overweight, medicated, mom to three amazing kids. Because of my unhealthy lifestyle I was missing out on so much with them. I was too tired to run and play. I needed routine naps. I was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication. I didn't laugh like I used to. I didn't make time to spend with friends, and I didn't exercise at the level I had for the majority of my life. Somehow I had let my health slip and recovering it seemed like an overwhelming task.
With many months and years of baby steps, life is good now. I'm now in my forties, about 40 pounds lighter and free of all medication. I laugh daily and have an active lifestyle. I make time with friends. I try to make life less stressful and more balanced. I'm a CrossFit Momma, and love the challenges it brings me everyday and the friendships I've made through it.
This blog is an opportunity to share what has worked in bringing me to this place. I hope to share what I continue to learn about health and exercise and how to incorporate it into a busy homeschool life. I've found being a homeschool mom, I need to make time for myself. I know a lot of moms don't do this. We sacrifice for our kids and families at the expense of our health. It's important to care for yourself so you can properly care for your family.
I hope you are encouraged and excited to make a step toward a healthier you. It's a daily journey that is life-changing.
