Kiana’s Mini-Me(s)

I am 1 proud Fit Mommy!  Why? Because my 2 daughters, ages 7 and 3, are so aware of healthy foods and know the importance of exercise.  At such a young age, they have learned so much about what is good for them and what is not.  Hmmm, it seems the role model thing does work.

Check this out: The other day at the grocery store, my 7 year old read the nutritional breakdown of a cereal she saw advertised on t.v.

(She did this on her own, without my asking her to do this, which makes it so much better!) She turned to me in shock and said, "Mommy you won't believe it-this cereal has 38 grams of sugar per serving! That's disgusting!" She put it back quickly. Ahhh, this Fit Mom is so proud.

Another shocker: My 3 year old prefers fruit to any dessert.  She literally turns down ice cream and cookies when there is fresh fruit. When I buy her her own cartons of berries, you'd think it was Christmas! Farmers Market with all fresh fruit...it's her Disneyland! I know, hard to believe, but it's true. My eyes are tearing up a bit.

Fit Fun: I try and keep them as active as possible in our video game era of life. We jog at the beach, play freeze dance and they workout in our home gym with me. They jump on the trampoline, do kid pushups and do body squats while I lift weights. I am so proud of them and feel so accomplished knowing that they are aware of making healthy choices and exercising their little bodies! They love their swimming and dance classes, too. Their love of exercise is even evident in their art work!

I am proud of you too, Fit Moms! Stay focused, fit and positive and your kids will too! Love, Kiana
