Looking Good (for a mom)

One mom's journey through health and fitness as she reclaims the body she had before kids

I’m Liz, the mom behind “Looking Good (for a mom).”  My story is a simple one. I am not a lifelong athlete. Far from it.  I haven’t always looked this good. Far from it.  For many years, I was a typical American working mom, relying on takeout to get me through the busy evenings, and thinking about exercise but too exhausted to find the time.

When I had my second child, the baby weight came off quickly while he was nursing, but once he weaned, I ballooned from a size six to nearly a size 10 in under a year. I was fat, and I decided I was fed up.

My transformation from then to now inspired friends and encouraged me to start this blog.  I want other moms to know they don’t need to be satisfied with just “Looking Good (for a mom),” but that they two can make meaningful changes in their lives, health, and fitness.

And men? You’re welcome too! Read this and share it with your wives, girlfriends, or just use the information yourself, when applicable.

Although I am not a writer by trade (I’m actually a financial analyst), I have been writing on the internet since the late 1980s, mostly fiction. This blog is my first real public foray into non-fiction writing, and I appreciate your indulgence.
