Let me introduce myself

Home Let me introduce myself

My name is Christy and I live in the Shenandoah Valley surrounded by the amazing blue ridge mountains. I am a wife, mother and fitness enthusiast who enjoys taking care of her family. I was also a band director and I am a French horn player. One of the things I enjoy most is discovering new adventures for my family in the surrounding areas and I wanted to have a place to share what I have found with you! There are so many adventures right in our own backyard and sometimes, they can be hard to find. Also, the portion of the country we live in is close to so many fun attractions. I’m here to give you previews and help you navigate some questions you may have.

Fitness is also a passion of mine. After growing up thinking that I was destined to be heavy, I took charge of my wellness journey, did TONS of research and figured out what worked for me. I’ve become a Les Mills Body Combat instructor and I love to lift weights. After lots of trial and error, I am the healthiest I have ever been, even after having two kids. I want to share what has worked for me and hope it can work for you.

Food goes hand in hand with wellness. I have found through my journey that nourishing my body properly is a pathway to health. Though this process, I have started incorporating more vegetables, fruit and lean meats into my diet versus highly processed foods and ingesting less sugar. I still eat treats in moderation and always notice if I overdo it. I will be sharing my recipes with you through this blog, some healthy but some desserts as well.
