New Year, New Mom: A Fit Mom Series

Ah January…a month with such mixed emotions. As the clock strikes midnight, you enter into a world of such high ambitions, hopes, and dreams…and then just as quickly, before the month even ends, they’re usually gone.  

We know that resolutions can be hard — in fact, they’re often so unachievable that upwards of 80% of resolutions fail by the 2nd week of February.

But could it be that resolutions feel so unachievable because often we’re doing them alone? No support? No encouragement?

Well…that’s NOT okay with us here at Collin County Moms Blog! We want to be your biggest cheerleader and support you while you work to achieve your goals in 2019 — and we’re going to start with the #1 most common New Year’s resolution: Diet, Fitness, and Exercise. 

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be publishing a variety of health and fitness-related posts meant to guide, inspire, and motivate you on your journey. We hope these will be a valuable resource for a moms; whether you’re still going strong since January 1st OR possibly need to be re-motivated. 

In addition, we’ll also be sharing these resources and others in our NEW FACEBOOK COMMUNITY Group! That’s right, a community dedicated to our readers with the sole purpose of building you up and helping you stay accountable. Whether you’re looking to lose that last 10 pounds OR simply need a playlist recommendation for your run, in this group you’ll find other moms who are ready to support you to the finish line. Not to mention a few fun surprises along the way. 

We can’t wait to get started and hope you’re also ready to start the journey with us! So, here’s what you do:

Krystal Hurst
Krystal is a Dallas-native who began her career as a fourth grade teacher in Richardson RISD, but quickly changed paths to became a stay-at-home mom in 2011. Through a happy coincidence, she stumbled upon (what was then known as) Dallas Moms Blog in 2012 and found a community she’d been looking for since coming a mom. Shortly after joining the team, she gratefully accepted the “baton” passed to her as new owner of the site, and took off with it running full speed! Krystal not only helped to grow Dallas Moms into a large parenting resource, but also launched Collin County Moms in 2016; providing those in the north Dallas suburbs their community resource platform. While building a community, uniting the moms, and growing a business around this passion was a dream come true, after almost 10 years, Krystal officially stepped down as owner, and is now focusing on raising her 4 boys with her husband, Tim, and rediscovering old hobbies.
