My 8 year old son made the comment the other day that he is happy that I am working out because it is making me happier and prettier.

My 3 year old likes to try and mimic me when I am doing my 30 Day Shred video (she tries to do the lunges and sit ups). She said she wants to be strong like Mommy.

And it made me realize that I am setting an example for them that it is a good thing to lead a health life. And a few months ago that is not something that I thought I could teach them.

    AWWW! You made me tear up a little! haha My 4-year-old does the same thing. She says, "Mommy, I'm growing and you're shrinking!" Ain't it beautiful? :happy:

    Good for you, my 16 year old looks at us with disgust, but maybe that's just him being 16.
