Purpose of Blog

Momma in Training was created in hopes to encourage other moms along their journey of motherhood and to inspire women to achieve overall wellness.  Wellness encompasses much more than fitness; it involves nourishing your body and soul by eating right, working out, and striving each day to become the person you want to be.

I always knew I wanted to be a mom.  When I became one, I realized that being a mom is a lot harder than it looks; physically and emotionally.  When I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I found myself feeling like I was losing myself in the day-to-day grind of motherhood.  I was afraid that I was becoming the mom I never wanted to be; stressed out and unhappy.  After hearing me complain about “my purpose” in life, my husband encouraged me to pursue different talents outside of motherhood in which I could focus on me. I realized from this experience that even though motherhood requires me to give most of my time and attention to my children, I still need to take time to focus on myself and my physical and emotional well being.

Before this experience I had already been interested in fitness and nutrition, but realized this was a passion of mine that I wanted to pursue further.  My desire since has been to inspire others, especially moms, to gain a desire to better themselves; physically and emotionally.  Even though being a mom is hard, takes a lot of time, and requires a lot of patience, it is still possible to eat right, feel good about yourself, and  find ways to become a better you.

I hope you will be inspired to begin or to continue on your journey of training to become a better mom and a better you. I hope to learn from you and to be inspired by other moms who some how seem to make it work too.
