Our Story

Our story is no different than the average American family.  We live hectic lives with busy schedules and family members going different directions at different times.  We find it hard to have a sit-down dinner.  As the mom, I find it difficult to schedule time to work, commute, shop and then put a healthy meal on the table.  Fast food restaurants know us by name and we have memorized their menus.  They might actually wonder where we are if we didn’t show up one week.

Our list of excuses is long or maybe even longer than yours.  That was until we came to our last straw.  As a family, we made the decision that we were not content with where we were in our health.  We were dissatisfied with the way our clothes fit, our energy levels, constantly feeling sick and our lack of fun as a family.  That was when we began researching everything we could find on eating better, watching our portions, and getting our bodies moving.

We are also a newly blended family.  This brought on our own set of obstacles as we were already each experiencing critical changes in our lives and environment.  We were hoping this might also allow us to spend more time together with common goals and bond us as a new family.  Let us introduce ourselves and what our reasons were for starting this journey.
