    Totally makes you want to cry to think that your sweet girls will not need to struggle the way we all have. We want the best for our kids and you are so providing that for them. My 6 kids are very, very athletic and that is something very important to me, just as important as a great education.

    5 stars for great parenting. And I have to try the spinach grilled cheese too

    that's super. great work, missus. i started this because of my kids too. my 4yo son asked for salad the other day! my 6yo still refuses, but we do what we can :-)
    it's a great thing that our kids will never have to learn how to be healthy or fit.

    My ten year old son (who is 120 pounds) has started catching all the little things I do. He will say things like is this healthy or I wonder how many calories this has in it. He also does some of my exercises with me. I love it. I don't want him to be over weight his whole life.

    Thanks for sharing. This is just great stuff. I started to subconsciously learn from my wife's habits, and the kids have been able to start out learning this way. They have such better habits already and have seen my life changes too.

    And the picture is great.

    I LOVE this post! This is exactly how I feel raising my girls and letting them be around me when I work out. Hopefully they will realize that exercise is a part of normal life and won't have to learn the habit in adulthood.

    And that picture is exactly how my work out last night worked except my three year old was walking all around me and used me (as I was doing push ups) to steady herself. Talk about feeling the burn!
