Blog #2 Health & Wellness

I am 35, I have been married for 10 years, and we have 3 beautiful children. From the time I was in jr. high I have been very much into sports. I played softball from the time I was 10 until after I graduated high school. Since I started having kids I have put on 30-40 extra pounds. About a year and a half ago my husband and I went on a diet and I lost about 20lbs and I was feeling great but recently we moved out of state and away from our families and I went into somewhat of a depression state and have gained back about 10lbs.

I know that working out and eating right is very important not only for myself but my husband and children. I would like to say that I work out everyday and eat right but that is not the case. Since we are in a new and exciting new place we have been exploring not only the sights but the food as well. I have tried to make an effort to walk more, everytime I have the option to take the stairs or elevator/escalator I choose the stairs, I try and find a parking spot far away from the entrance, and I have tried to cut back on my food & soda intake. I have been trying to buy healthier snacks for my children; yogurt and fruit, and cutting out fried foods.
