A Healthy Family

It is important when you first decide to start a family and as you all grow together as a family to keep fitness and nutrition in mind everyday. It is going to be twice as hard to get into the swing of eating healthy and working out if you have been letting is pass for 30 years.

Nutritional tips I learned from my husband....

-reduce sugar at a young age. This means half the sugar content of everything. You will be surprised how good koolade tastes with only half a pack used.

-mix up the meals everyday.

Each day should be a different type of meal. For example Monday beef, Tuesday fish, Wednesday chicken, Thursday pasta, Friday turkey, Saturday and Sunday Chicken. It keeps the meals interesting and keep the body in the nutritional grove.

Remember with each dinner to always have a green (lettuce or veggie), a carb, and a protein.

If you go to Sparkpeople.com they have receipts for every dish imaginable and family tips on how to stay healthy.

I must add in this picture today. Being fit must run in the family, take a look at my Nephew Caleb, look at that awesome push-up form at 5 months old!!
