I know its tough to find the time to be healthy. Its easier to eat the fast food, skip the run on the treadmill and slam the extra cup of coffee instead of water. I'm the queen of trying to make my life easier. With a 16 month and 5 month at home along with a new job and new job on top of the new job and I also sing in a chorus on Monday nights and a Quartet on Wednesdays...yeah, I'm looking for easy. BUT then I think, is this what I would feed my children? NO...why? Because I want them to be healthy and learn healthy habits and live long healthy lives. SO...WHY am I not practicing what I preach? Don't I want to be around to see my babies grow into wonderful beautiful human beings, don't I want to grow old with my husband and see our grandchild play??? Of course - so I need to start at home. I need to make changes in my every day life. I need to find a way to eat healthy but quickly sometimes. We have decided that those days, instead of fast food days, will be salad days!
One step closer to healthy :-)
This is a great post Jenny! And a great attitude to have. My goal with my kids were to teach them to eat healthy and they both do a pretty good job of it. I still have to follow my own advise many times but at least we keep on trying. Small steps make a big difference!
