All Talk no Walk

It's a little funny and a little insane to me how people want to give kids junk food and sugar, just because: "they're so cute! They deserve a treat!"

Really? 

Because I'm pretty sure you're just giving that child diabetes and trading it for a smile. 

I'll admit, I've completely fell off the work-out wagon since Brandon came into our home. Yes I've been tired and busy, but there is no excuse for stopping my routines, except pure laziness on my end. 

Luckily, the guilt of not working out, has made me even more persistent in a healthy diet. One thing I definitely won't let slide is the healthy food we've been eating! 

We've had Taco Bell and In n Out a few times, but I won't let Brandon eat it. 

I always bring his own food with us when we are out and about. I might let him have some left over rice, but it's after he's already eaten his lunch. 

He was so constipated when he first came into our home, (and I'm talking 2.5 days), I swore right there, he would have the best diet possible from then on out. 

He is not allowed to have sugar anyway, or he'll get very sick, so we're told. (I'll spare the non-parents and let your imagination come up with the "sick" I'm talking about).

First thing I did was grab gluten free noodles, non dairy Vegan-cheese, a ton of fruits and veggies and almond milk from Sprouts. He's a good eater! He absolutely loves my green smoothies packed with kale and spinach! And he doesn't know he's eating the healthy food. He even has gluten free graham crackers if he needs desert. 

Something I would really like to work on though, is leading by example. 

So here I am, asking for accountability, to be a healthy eating/exercising mommy, so my baby boy can grow up into the strong healthy guy I desire him to be! 

No one can stand those people who are all talk and no action, so today we start fresh. 

Walks, green smoothies, salads for lunch, veggies for dinner. 

Who's with me?!
