Hey! So Glad You're Here.

As a mom to two very active little dudes, I was always trying to figure out how to do it all the right way. Be a good example, show them how to be great humans, inspire them, be...perfect. I finally figured out I didn't need to be perfect, I needed to be honest with myself and be me and that would be just fine for raising decent human beings. I went back to school in my mid thirties for computer science, I finished just after turning 40! I started working out pretty seriously to lose weight and then decided to actually get fit. So why should you hang around for more? Well those two little dudes make for a good laugh every now and again. I review meals I make for them, I post about my workouts to show you that at any age and any shape you can start and succeed, hopefully our antics and fun bring you a little joy and some laughter.

To brush you up on the lingo, I call myself The Gatherer. It started years ago when my husband (hence forth The Hunter) went on a trip for fun and I started a little joke on my personal Facebook about The Hunter going on walk-about and leaving The Gatherer with the Natives (our boys!) in The Cave (our home). It stuck and carried over. Now we have The Wildlife, our precious cat and sweet doggo. Don't expect perfection in my writing, it won't be profound. I tend to be very LGBTQIA+ supportive so if that sort of content offends you, please just pass along. I will post photos of me working out, if seeing the skin of a woman bothers you or you think muscles are "gross" on a woman this probably isn't going to be your blog. If you like self deprecating humor, a good eye roll, the ability to laugh at yourself and life...I got you.
