On August 20th, 2011 my life changed – my baby boy William Evan Montgomery was born. It changed my outlook on life, my focus, my body and my world. I would have never thought having a baby would make me this happy – when I first found out I was pregnant, I thought my life was over. I was only 23 years old and just graduated college and thought this is it, no more having fun, no more traveling, no more ‘me’ time – that outlook changed quickly the day I had my first ultrasound and saw that little bundle of cuteness rolling around and attempting to eat the umbilical cord. I can do this, I thought, this new life really can be amazing.”
My husband, Adam, joined the Air force long before we got pregnant. He left to boot camp and then tech school when I was about 3-4 months along, so that was a huge challenge for both of us. Now here we are, together, at our first base in Nebraska. I miss my friends and family back in Cincinnati, Ohio, but we’re ready to finally start our own little life here in the oldest town in Nebraska – Bellevue.
It was a little hectic getting settled in – we constantly were grabbing fast food because we were doing so much shopping and unpacking the first few months of our arrival. I’m a vegetarian, so it’s easy to grab healthier fast food, but it was still putting holes in our pockets and making us feel draggy. I wasn’t getting my usual exercises in and getting back into jogging was so hard after just having a baby. Adam and I both agreed we would start a healthier life style by buying healthier food items, eating out less, saving money, and staying active.
So here we go, day 1 of our fresh start and my fresh blog! I’m switching the theme of my blog: new life = new blog. You will know all of the healthy meals I devour each day, and when I slip up and eat a slice of pie, you will know that too (come on now, who doesn’t need their pie fix every now and then?). I’m going to share my new life with you – my mommy-hood, travels, healthy living tips, ways to conserve, recipes, and favorite restaurants I hit up around town or during my travels. Enjoy
