Deanna, The Unnatural Mother is a mommy, a wife, a writer and an athlete who tries to live a balanced, happy and fit life on a daily basis. However, sometimes potato chips, a bacon blue burger and fries gets in her way. Deanna knows that striving for a healthy fit life is hard, and it's even harder to balance it all with children, a home, and working a full time job, but as hard as it is to do that, she has found that balance is the key to happiness - even if that balance means sneaking in a run, or grabbing a few fries. With five half marathons, two Ragnar Relays, a Triathlon and countless 5 and 10k's, Deanna is proving that you can find that balance. It just takes time, energy and a little planning! Everything in moderation is what her Grandma always told her!
