Work Hard, Play Hard

If you had told me 6 months ago, that I would be spending my free time going on adventures, playing outdoors, and enjoying the fresh air, I would have laughed at you.  You see, my motto has been "work hard, rest harder".  I have spent a good portion of my adult life growing spuds on my couch potato butt.  I hated to do anything that took me away from a good TV show or a good nap.  I knew I needed to be a more active mother and just a more active person in general, but I could not make myself.  I have dealt with anxiety and depression and was just as happy being in my pajamas at home as anywhere else. 
This year not only did I turn over a new leaf regarding my weight and health, I have completely revamped my whole outlook.  My weekends are spent out with my kids and husband.  We have started taking the kids on trails and enjoying nature.  We have started a new hobby called letter boxing where we have to hunt down clues and find treasures all over the place.  We are now an active family.  It seems a bit weird, but it has been better medicine than any pill I could take for my depression and anxiety.  The joy I see on the girls faces and the memories we are making is a blessing to enjoy.  My new motto, " Work Hard, Play Harder".
