Healthy Living: Setting a Good Example for your Kids

Portrait of a young couple and a child with their arms outstretched

They say the best way to raise healthy children, is to set the example for them.  

Well, I’m trying.

But, the other day the kid asked me, “Mommy, why don’t you exercise?”

Me: “Uh… uhm… you see… what had happened was…”

Yeah. I was at a loss. I mean what would I say? “Son, I don’t exercise, because I’m just way too busy.” Well, actually, that’s what I did say. But, that’s not enough. It’s just an excuse. I know that. And, so does he. It’s especially hard, when the hubs is a total gym rat.

So, how do I go about leading by example? I suppose I have to get up off my arse and start exercising. I’ve started down the “eating right” path. That’s something, right?

Anyway, here’s leading by example!
