So a documentary I watched a few years back popped up on mt facebook memories today, and in the post I was recommending it to all parents, suggest they watch it and hoping it would be a wake up call for some, and reading what I wrote, I knew exactly who I was hoping would watch it. My cousin whos now 8 year old is probably 125lbs, my friend, whos 12 year old is in the 200s, and my brother who although their kids are not super over weight, drink nothing but soda and eat out 2 or more times a day.
I do not feed my kids the best, I know I can do much better, but I thought it was just common knowledge to not let your kids have cookies and soda for breakfast, that soda is an occasional treat, to offer fruits and vegetables as snacks, and that fast food large sized meals with a large pop is not something to let your kids have daily. I feel awful that my kids eat cereal almost every morning, even though its like mini wheats, honey bunches of oats, or honey nut cheerios usually. Or that I am lazy with lunches, and will let them eat lunchables, or bake chicken nuggets or fries. Dinner I usually cook a good dinner that has a veggie, and I almost never fry any food, except when I make finger steaks, those I fry, but that is the only meal I fry.
Anyways, I forgot what this documentary was about so I rewatched it, and glad I did. It reminded me why I only let my kids have pop twice a week max, and why I am trying to slow my soda drinking down. Reminded me how much better I can do and why I should, Its a real eye opener. I think people should watch these and learn from them, and what is happening in our country. How these businesses are brain washing us and our kids, and what it is doing to our health, even if we arent over weight, we can still have a lot of fat around out organs and it can and will cause future problems.
I am already trying to make changes in my families diet due to my sons cholesterol levels, but I know I can do more. This is the documentary if you are interested in watching it.

I got up at 4:50am, was out working out by 5:05am, ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill, and did 30 minutes of weight training, legs, chest, and back.4 -
Thanks for sharing @angmarie28
I’ll look up this documentary.
I have to vent:
Sometimes it is also easy to ignore some extra calories/fat creeping in through “healthy” options- for e.g., today I was happy with my food choices until I entered the dressings...it’s totally unfair that a table spoon of dressing can add so many calories to the healthy salad! 🤦♀️2 -
New schedule for me this week...with the kids going back to school, some of my piano kids who are doing virtual lessons, had to switch to new days/times because of conflicts with extra-curricular activities, like soccer, other instruments, debate team, etc. So, I got them reset and now Wednesdays are my crazy day...smack dab in the middle of the week...have three in a row starting at 6pm. Get off work at 5. Just enough time to do a little cleaning...and it has me eating dinner at 815pm. Tonight, my tummy is a little funny so I'm just eating some fruit. If I feel better, might upgrade that, but I'm not sure.
I've decided to do a virtual piano recital this year. Music selection during Sep. Recital prep begin Oct 1st. Then starting Dec 1-14, they have two weeks to record each song and upload to the Facebook Studio page. I'll make up invitations by Dec 1st and they can send an invite to anyone (like grandparents) and have them go watch the recordings starting Dec 15th. This year's theme is Winter Peace. They can do holiday, classical or contemporary as long as they work with the theme. Should be interesting...I will be continuing with virtual lessons until Corona is under control...probably mid 2021.
I was going to retire this year, but with my cousins in that accident, I'll keep going just in case the extra funds would help them pay rent or help with utilities.
I'm off tomorrow and Friday, so I plan on taking a walk as long as it isn't raining. Our forecast says rain off and one for the next four days (of course)...we'll see. Might just do walk videos.
Talk to ya'll tomorrow...
Jessica

I woke up at 430 this morning, my room was nice and chili and I just wanted to go back to sleep, so instead I snoozed it for 10 minutes, laid another 5, rolled my butt out of bed, changed, and ran a 5k on the treadmill.5

I discovered this yogurt dressing, you find it in the produce section. The brand is Bolthouse Farms, they have quise a few flavors, but they are 35 to 50 calories per serving, and I really like them. Ive tried the avocado cilantro and the cucumber ranch so far1 -

What healthy meals have you made lately? New recipes, or old reliable ones, Lets here it. Ill go first. As you know my very active and fit 11 year old is on medication that had caused him to have high triglycerides and cholesterol, so I have been trying hard to find healthy meals to help lower this. Now being he is autistic, makes this super fun...Not really.
Last night I made Ground turkey sweet potato chili. I thought it was really good, so did my husband, Our kids on the other hand, not so much, but they ate it without much of a fight, so its a win to me, haha. Next time maybe I will chop the sweep potatos smaller since my 11 year old hates sweet potatos, lol.3 -
I also wanted to show you all this amazing salad I got from Sams Club. My kids were also not impressed, Oh well, I liked it.
