Fit Bottomed for Four

I can’t believe it’s been four years of Fit Bottomed Girls. In some ways it seems like just yesterday that Jenn and I were on the phone, excitedly hashing out ideas for the site and what we wanted to cover. But then I realize that in the four years since, I’ve moved cross country, bought a house, had two kids. I also lost my full-time job and gained a full time-plus job with the kids, plus still working on FBG and dedicating most of my time to Fit Bottomed Mamas.

It hasn’t been easy. First, balancing a full-time job with this labor of love at night and over weekends. Then balancing the demands of family (slave drivers, the under-two set!) and still having the energy at nights or on the weekends to crank out a post or two—and a BOOK. And although it’s a challenge to “do it all,” I’m in too deep now to walk away. I love this job.

There is no doubt that I’m a healthier and more well-rounded person because of this site. Fit Bottomed Girls has brought super-fun fitness experiences my way, from visiting Nike HQ to pushing me to try new and different classes to taste-testing (and loving) various new healthy foods. I love the positivity of our readers; you gals are really inspiring to us as well. Thanks for helping to make FBG what it is today, and thanks for making it such a great place to come to work.

Cheers to many, many more FBG birthdays! —Erin
