Welcome to Balanced Healthy Life! My name is Kjirsten. My husband Keith and I live in Arizona, but we both grew up in Minnesota We own three gyms and are self-proclaimed health nuts. I’ve also been a personal trainer for the past six years. My favorite things in life are being a new mom to my daughter Cameryn, cooking and trying new recipes, eating great food, good wine, working out, Quincy my Aussie, fashion and spending my time filled with the people I love. This blog is for me to document my food, drinking, exercise, fashion and going green habits as I am on a journey to find my own balanced healthy life. I hope by sharing my exercise plans, fitness tips, fashion tips, going green attempts, journey as a new mom, meals and recipes that I can inspire you to live the best life you can!
I hope to inspire people from my blog. I want to show people you can eat the foods you love, drink wine, not be a slave to diets and negative self talk and live a fabulous full life! It all starts with making small decisions on a daily basis that add up to something amazing!

What a beautiful wedding photo! How great that you own gyms – what better way for a health nut to spend her days? I am jealous.
Thanks so much! I am waiting to get back our professional ones, and am so ready for them! It def. makes getting to the gym easy and there never an excuse not to workout!

Love your story and that you’re a Midwestern girl. I was born and raised in Madison, WI, but am now in northern Cali.
