\"How<\/p>\n

This post is going to sound a little like a sales pitch, but I promise I’m not selling anything. It’s just the story of how I got my life back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is me and a friend about year before I decided to get fit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was tired. Seven kids, homeschooling, working part-time, and traveling was beginning to take its toll on my life. Almost every Sunday at church someone would ask me if I was “okay” or feeling under the weather.<\/p>\n

I was totally exhausted, suffering from weekly migraines, back pain (from a previous surgery) taking ibuprofen like it was candy, and consuming caffeine like it was going out of style.<\/p>\n

In April of 2012 I returned from a trip to California completely worn out. I felt like I could sleep for a year! I knew something in my life needed to change immediately because I could not go on living in a constant state of exhaustion and pain.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing how I gave up soda, stopped taking ibuprofen, got rid of my back pain,\u00a0cured my migraines, lost twenty pounds,\u00a0and feel better than I have in twenty years. The awesome thing about it is, that if you are suffering from “mom exhaustion” you can do it too! It’s really very simple.<\/p>\n

Read all fit for good posts.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
