Finding a balance in life is rarely easy.  For me, I have struggled to find a healthy balance between exercise, family time, work and everything in between!  I, like many Moms out there, am kept busy with the schedules of two children (5 and 7), a husband, a full-time job, and the desire to stay fit and healthy along the way.   I have the added pressure of being married to a man with a brain injury.  Jerry has come a long way, but most of the daily decision making and planning is left up to me.  Up until now, my ‘balance’ has not been healthy.  I had a running schedule that I followed religously that didn’t allow for more than one day of rest a week (if that).  I always work out early in the morning so that it doesn’t take time away from my family but I found that the daily grind of forcing myself to get up early to run only drained me in the long term.  I was fitting it all in but not feeling good!  Discovering Million Dollar Body has provided me with just what I was looking for and more!  I now have balance with my workout schedule and the added bonus of having access to incredible meal plans that go along with all of their programs.  I feel a renewed energy in my life.  I’m still running 5 days a week but I now have the added benefits of a great strength training routine (P90X) to supplement my running, and increased energy from my better diet!  I feel better, less stressed and yes, more balanced!

If you are reading my blog, I hope my words have helped you think of ways to find balance in your own life. Having balance, I think, is the key to sticking with any diet and fitness plan.  Without balance, the changes you make along the way may be difficult to adhere to.  Joining Million Dollar Body and working with an awesome coach has helped me develop a lifestyle that is so rewarding that it is easy to stick to it.  If you think I might be able to help you find balance, or you would like to do the same for others, check out Million Dollar body:  Just go to www.milliondollarbody.com/love2run to find out more about my transformation story and sign up!  From that site you can sign up as a Free Player by clicking on ‘Play the Game’, or you can join as a member or a coach!  Feel free to e-mail me at jlkkmc@aol.com with any questions.
