8 Ways to Be a Fit Mom

I’m over at Faith & Family LIVE today sharing tips on how to be a fit mom. You’ll have to forgive another mention of my long-distance running days. I didn’t realize both running-related references would appear in the same week, but clearly I’m pining for those long runs and feel like I have to remind myself that I was pretty fit once upon a time. :-) But I’ll settle for a living room dance party with my girls. Those get my heart rate up every time, and my oldest recently remarked as we were all busting a move, “This is my favorite time of day when we’re all together!” Not even a long, solo run on the trails can’t beat that kind of enthusiasm.

What about you? How do you squeeze in fitness to your daily routine? Mosey on over there and share your get-fit or stay-fit tips!

Have a safe and happy Fourth!

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
