I'm super lucky to have a local gym with a nursery, so that solves my workout issues. Prior to that I dropped my older one of at school and then went for a run with my little one in jogging stroller. When that didn't work I would pop in a exercise video. My little one finds them funny and often joins in. As for lunches I…

Hi! I'm Mommy to a eight year old boy and a four year old girl. Finally taking some me time to get healthy.

I've been home with my kids for 6.5 years now. I have an almost eight year old boy in a four year old girl. No end in sight because of my husbands job, and the way our schools release schedule.

So excited to see so many others here! I did a 5k last year, and this will be my first half. I am doing one in Alameda California on June 5th. I'm excited but really nervous. I'll be doing it with friends which should be fun. I can't wait to hear about everyone else's adventures! BorderMommy
