Mommas on a mission: To Get Healthy!

As I started meeting other bloggers and reading their stories, I saw that many Momma's like me, struggle with finding a balance between motherhood and staying healthy, so I decided to start my healthy living blog, Lets Move It Mommas. I struggled with weight most of my life and know that a support system is key when trying to lose weight or make a healthy change, so I hope this blog acts as that support my readers need! I share healthy recipes, exercise tips and much more...
even tips on helping children lead healthy lifestyles too!
With 2011 approaching, we all tend to look for a resolution to keep us motivated, the problem is that most of us set ourselves up for failure by making our goals outrageous. Maybe start small, tell yourself you will take a walk as a family at least three days a week. Or make small changes to dinner each evening...using whole grains or smaller portions. Most importantly, find exercise that works for YOU. Something you like may be totally different than what your family/friends enjoy doing, or maybe all of the people around you do not exercise at all? Exercising is contagious and if people around you see your changes and results, they'll want to jump on board! If you're ready for some big changes when it comes to health and fitness, try setting a goal of running a marathon, triathlon, or 5K! If running isn't for you, try the local health clubs, they are usually running GREAT deals this time of year! As always, I am here for my readers and will do my best to give you some tools for success along the way!
