Motivations

Monday, August 2, 2010 by Dea.

I was just reading a story on Yahoo about moms who were in better shape post-baby than before they ever got pregnant.  All of the women mentioned their children and staying fit for them as their major motivation.

It’s an interesting topic, really.  I’ve allowed my kids to learn unhealthy habits from me.  That makes me both sad and angry, and it’s all directed at myself.  I know that you can’t change your lifestyle JUST for someone else, but how did I not realize how much harm my junk eating and couch sitting ways was causing?

It’s a wake up call, that’s for sure.  I got vaccines for my kids to protect their health, I take them to doctors and dentists to keep them healthy.  But I’ve dropped the ball on the most important part of their health.

I have many motivations, and I think I’m going to make a list and hang it in my house.  This one, albeit a new one, will be at the top of the list.  Our health, as a family, has to be priority.
