3 Healthy Behaviors for Working Moms

Working moms have to share their life with not just their family, but their career.

Regardless of why we work, whether if its' for the additional income or the professional career that is important to maintain, a healthy lifestyle is still foundational to being effective in our responsibilities.

Healthy living doesn't have to be another check list on the bottom of the to-do list but rather can be a mindset we adopt as we continue with our responsibilities. There are ways that we can be healthy as a working mom -- we just need to do things a little different.

Or even worse -- using exercise as punishment for how you look or fit into your jeans.
