Have you been watching the winter Olympics in Vancouver? Thanks to my ultra-sports enthusiast 6 year old, I have. In addition to the always entertaining snowboarders and ice skaters, we’ve watched women’s ice hockey, downhill skiing and even the biathlon (who knew combining archery and cross-country skiing makes an Olympic sport?). Last weekend, while watching the U.S. vs China women’s hockey match they talked about a mom of two on the team. Doing a little research, I found out there are a number of U.S. athletes competing in skiing, curling and even the skeleton (that bobsled looking thing), that are also moms. Wow! That’s inspiration. I immediately got off the couch and headed to my treadmill to run a few miles while watching the rest of the hockey match. If these women can find time to be moms and Olympic athletes, surely we can find some time in the day to exercise our bodies.

By the way, my favorite thing about these women is that they have real bodies, with curves and all. Goes to show that you definitely don’t have to be a size 2 to be healthy, just fit at whatever size you are. Rock on!
