As a working mom, I know it's a challenge to make a healthy lifestyle work. School, jobs, meals, activities. It's a balancing act.

As a family, we've made a real effort to make a healthy lifestyle a priority. Like making exercise a fun, natural part of our week. I'm amazed at the limitless energy that kids have and how adults are always wishing they could bottle it.

My daughter is four years old and so far she's tried dance, soccer and swimming. She's really taken to the water though, and we've decided as a family that swimming is where it's at. Growing up as a competitive swimmer myself I get great joy out of watching her take to it the same way that I did.

These days, I am thankful I can fit my workout in during my lunch break so I can reserve morning and evening time for even more important things - my family.
