Welcome to Health, Happiness, Hamstrings!

My name is Lauren. I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl (aka.Bean) and wife to a wonderful man (aka Mr. Man). We live in a suburb of New York City with our two adorable cats. This blog documents my journey to find a balance of Health, Happiness, Hamstrings (aka exercise).

For over 30 years I have struggled with GI issues. Instead of viewing eating as a way to nourish my body it was a constant battle to figure out what would give me the biggest bang for my buck (high nutritional value and low GI distress). The ONLY time my GI track liked me was when I was pregnant with my daughter. Getting pregnant again was NOT my option of choice.

Additionally, Bean needed a good example of someone balancing sensible nutrition with sensible exercise. Since my husband just started a new business and was feeling pressure left and right, healthy eating went down the drain. That being said, someone had to take on the challenge and be an example for her. I was up to the challenge.

I also was searching for a central place to document our lives and celebrate Bean's milestones. Since life is crazy, and even more so since Mr. Man started his business, having a central place to "write" down the important and mundane moments became crucial.

That being said.......Health, Happiness, Hamstrings (aka exercise) was created. Watch as I to figure out how to have all three while running after Bean and still being a support to Mr. Man. I hope you can take something away from my journey.
