I wish they were written in all of those pregnancy and parenting books I was reading while I was indulging my cravings and getting my "much needed rest" while pregnant. Many aspects of life change when you become a parent, but health and fitness should NOT be sacrificed. It has taken me quite a while to realize this on my own and I thank you that much more for sharing your story. In addition to finding "me" time to exercise, there is so much that can be done with your child/children to stay in shape and have fun through the various ages and stages. Some of my favorites were pushing the jogging stroller at nap time, taking animal walks (jump like frogs, walk like dogs, hop like kangaroos), and of course playing tag! I hope that by being active with my child I am helping to support that lifestyle for him too. Thanks again for sharing! Rachel, your words are golden.
