I think I was a pretty selfish athlete.
When I'm in the gym, I'm in the gym, and that is my focus. But when I'm not in the gym, I'm enjoying being a mom and taking care of those responsibilities .. They really do provide me with the balance that I need to be a more complete athlete.
Weight lifting is the easiest part of my day.
Compared to the challenges or raising an autistic child, weightlifting is a relief.
I'm looking forward to being a mom and a wife and a business owner.
I find being a mother is a huge advantage. Of course, I'm probably a little more tired than I might be if I didn't have children, but I think they provide me the balance that I need to keep my mind off of lifting.
