Karen at Balance In Diet has asked me to complete the fun 10-20-30 meme created by author Mary DeMuth whom you can find at Relevant blog. She wants to know what I was doing 10, 20, and 30 years ago.

10 years ago I was 29 years old, married and a new Mom. My son was 15 months old, my design business was in its fledgling stages and I had just started teaching gymnastics again after a three year hiatus. My favorite book at the time was Super Baby Food which I used as a guide for making my own baby food for my son. I still highly recommend the book for new Moms.

20 years ago I was 19 years old and in college. I was living at home, going to college full time and coaching gymnastics in my spare time. Looking back, I was so healthy – I exercised every day, drank no soda or coffee, ate very little meat, and got plenty of rest. Back then I spent a lot of time referencing Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook while training for sprint triathlons and road races.

30 years ago I was 9 years old and in elementary school. That was back in the day when we walked a long way to school and I remember crossing guards, getting stuck in the rain, and had no cell phones. My best friend and I spent every possible moment doing gymnastics, swimming in her pool, giggling about everything. My favorite author was Beverly Cleary and I think I read all of her books including The Ralph Mouse Collection.

What were you doing 10, 20 and 30 years ago? If this sounds like fun, take the meme back to your site and run with it! I am also tagging Angela, Lucy, Marcie, Laura, and Eliza to join in if you have the time.
