in Success Stories
During breakfast this morning, my little girl asks, "Mommy, did you exercise today?" To which I replied, "Yep, mommy did a lot of exercising today...a whole hour and 30 minutes!" And with joy in her little voice she said, "WOW mom! That's very good! You are very healthy! Can I do it with you?"

"Of course you can!" I replied

My baby is only two years old (almost three) and I am so proud that she is starting to understand what exercise is and that it's important. I want to be a role model to her and set an example. Perhaps this is a small indication that I am making an impression on her. This makes it all worth it...

    Ah, that's cute. I think it's great that she's learning from her mom what being healthy is all about. Good work mom!

    Talk about an awesome roll model! THIS is one of my main reasons for becoming healthy. I refuse to raise my children in an unhealthy environment.

    Good for you!

    Too cute! My little one, 5 years old, will talk about needing to exercise when she puts on her skinny jeans and how much weight she's lost when she wears her jeans that are big. And she goes around asking me " and how many calories does that have?!"
