For many reasons that I will not get into here, I just have not been taking care of myself for a long time. When Cody and I first got married we didn’t have the money or the time and now work is time consuming and stressful. The pizza place by our house knows my phone number, dancing in the house is my workout routine, soda is my main drink of choice and going to bed before 2am is an accomplishment. None of these things are good for me, but for some reason I decided that they were acceptable. That point of view is no more!
Once I made the choice to be healthy, I stated doing research. You might wonder why, at 30 I did research about how to get healthy, but growing up I never learned those lessons, so adult Lauren had to.
What I learned was interested, but to most of you I’m sure these facts have been a main stay in your life for years.
