You know sometimes as a parent you feel like your talking to yourself.The kids might be standing right in front of you even looking at you and still they don't hear a word you are saying.So I have been pleasantly surprised to see a change in their attitudes since I have taken on the Body for life challenge.Our youngest has been running with me every other day (one day is muscle fitness the alternate day is cardeo, which I am doing in the form of teaching myself to run.)She is a very pickie eater so it was a great surprise to see her appetite increase with the amount of exercise she is getting.She is a chatterbox when we are alone so it's great company.The water I have been buying has been disappearing faster than I was drinking and I happened upon my son downing one of my bottles.This too was a change as he would be happier drinking pop!Small things in the big picture but in the right direction.Maybe that old saying "Do as I say, not as I do..." is not true.Maybe kids don"t always listen but they are paying attention. Who knew
See you next week

Sifu, I have been there and I agree. It is easier to lead by example. They might not be listening, but they are always watching.
I know when my two girls see me eat well and exercise, they are right in there too.
I am glad to see that you are doing so well with your goal. Keep up the great work!
