Well, me and Randy's exercising, eating healthy routine is rubbing off on my children. I'm soooooo proud!! My eight-year-old is now using our measuring utensils to dish out his breakfast and lunch!!! He is reading the labels on the cereal boxes and other foods and is getting familiar with portion sizes. And, better still, he's incorporating "fruit" as part of his healthy breakfast. I LOVE IT!!! He even has got his older sister and brother in on the act, policing their meals. It's a hoot.

We've never had "junk" food in the house really....okay maybe some, but it's truly minimal and completely rationed! Our biggest family eating "flaw" is portions....however, over the past 8 weeks, since we've been logging our food and portions, we've gotten so much better of judging how much we eat. Getting children started early with proper portions is HUGE and will prevent them from becoming overweight. I know Randy and I are doing them a favor with this healthy eating and portion control....even though they can't appreciate it quite yet.

I've been doing GREAT on my weekly exercising....not bored of it yet. I'm a bit nervous for fall / winter, as this tends to be a busier time for me with my work. I hope that I can incorporate some of the great tips here for keeping motivated and on track found here at CK.

Happy Thursday to all...
