Family Matters

When trying to get healthy, family totally matters.

If they are with you it sure helps to take the pain out of getting healthy.

Remember how I told you a few weeks ago that my family would be coming for Easter? It is our yearly tradition to Celebrate both Easter and Ori's birthday here in Louisville. I talked about how I was nervous and worried that old habits would return.

My cousin Kristol came to town yesterday, along with her two sons and my great-grandpa. My parents will be in later today. I love it when they are here but am always worried that we will feed off each other in the feeding department.

This year is totally different because...

...everyone is on a health kick!

My parents are working hard, Kristol is working hard, I am working hard, Octavio is, well, he's just lucky but is extremely supportive ;)

Instead of going out to eat every night or ordering pizza and snacking while sitting on our butts we have a healthy, fun packed weekend planned.

There is a kickball game tonight. A hike tomorrow morning. The cupboards are stocked full of healthy goodness and Dr. Oz would be proud of the menu.

We are still real people. There will be an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos, we are going to see Horton Hears a Who for Ori's birthday and I'm sure we'll have a cake and some ice cream but all that will be guilt free because we know we are living right!

No daily or weekend challenge today! Enjoy yourself and behave :)
