Finding Health & Financial Fitness
Welcome! I’m Lauren – a 32 year-old mom and small business owner living with a blended family of 6. You could probably also add “Ring Leader” to my job titles, because having 4 kids (15, 8, 4, 3) + 3 dogs + 1 lizard + a bunch of fish in my house means our lives can feel like a circus. And a ticket to this circus can get pretty expensive.
In 2012 my journey to a health & fitness lifestyle began. Shortly after, I took Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, and though I have always been a numbers person, my whole philosophy of budgeting began to change (though I do not follow DR to a tee). By 2015 I was in the best shape of my life in both body & budget. In 2016 a sequence of events began that significantly disrupted my lifestyle, and it all started to fall apart. It’s time to take my life back, so I created this blog as a space for me to share my experience, information, and my journey BACK to a fit body & fit financial future.

Starting Over
There have been a few times in my life where I’ve needed to start over; both physically and financially. In my early 20s I went through a financial crisis that lead me to Dave Ramsey, and Financial Peace University. It was around that same time that I was also going through a lot physically and…
My PPP Loan has been fully forgiven!
I recently received news that the PPP (Payroll Protection Program) loan that we received early in the pandemic has been fully forgiven, and I can’t tell you what a relief that is and how grateful I am! As the owner of a travel agency, when our sales fell off the map at the start of…
