Hello All!

My name is McKenzie Westmore and I have been an actress for most my life as well as a certified fitness/nutritionist and just plain old health nut!

Above all else though, I am a mom. That is my day job, my night job, every weekend and cant imagine doing anything more enjoyable (yet taxing at moments…we have all been there!). One of the hardest things I found after having my son was “How on earth do I squeeze in time for workouts to lose this 50 pounds Ive gained?!” As time went on, I then began to ask, “OK, now how do I eat a salad and try not to devour every last french fry my son left behind?”

So many questions ran through my head as I was pregnant and then, after having given birth about getting back to what I knew and felt was a comfortable me. Through this blog here on Momz in the Mix, I hope to help many of you first time moms, pro-moms, and even every lady out there who is looking for some easy tips and/or thoughts on fitness, nutrition, health and even a few beauty tips.

I feel like I have had some of the greatest experiences with getting to know my body as well as feeling my absolute best After I had my son! I have heard many women say there best years are behind them but I am here to say “Not True”! Just because we pause in our busy lives to have children does not mean we have to stop taking care of ourselves for the rest of our lives! “Cause if Momma ain’t happy, then Nobody is happy!”

Over these last four years watching my son grow, work, and deal with other things life can dish out, I made sure to take that moment to get myself back on track. Some days I am able to actually go to the gym, but most days i take my son and my fitness out doors (or in). I have found some great ways to incorporate fitness into my life and still include my son from birth on up.

And as far as those french fries? I stopped worrying so much, ate my salad AND had a few fries!

I just want every mother and women out there to know that it IS possible to have your cake and eat it too…just in moderation!
