Your challenge -- if you choose to accept it -- is tracking down healthier eating habits for your family! Are you up to the assignment?If so, Mission: Family Nutrition starts tomorrow! (If you don't know what this is read this.)
If you'd still like to sign up or know of someone who would, it is not too late. Anyone can sign up at anytime. The sooner you join the mission, the sooner your family will be on the path to good health! It’s time to crack the case!
If you don’t think you can ever solve your family’s nutrition dilemmas, take heart. I had a long history of horrible eating habits before I experienced health effects that spurred me to take action.
Slowly, over time, I changed my lifestyle and the way I thought about food. Then, I began to slowly change the foods I gave my family. It didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen. We don’t eat perfectly. I’m always looking for new ways to keep healthy eating interesting and appetizing, but we generally make healthy choices. (Although I can’t be responsible for what my teenager consumes at sleepovers! ;0)
Don’t forget that along the way, you’ll get support and encouragement from me and other bloggers and from Dr. David Winsor, chiropractor and nutrition expert. He will be posting nutrition tips weekly. He said he would also be happy to answer any questions you email me (melinda@parentingconfessions.com).
I’ve also enlisted some other guest bloggers who will give you the tools you need to complete your mission!
Here's what you need to do for tomorrow:
1.) Choose your first nutrition goal. Start simple. For example, it may be cutting down on the quantity of a certain unhealthy food you and/or your family eats. Or, it could be trying a new recipe. It could also be trying a new healthier food. It won’t be easy at first. You WILL meet resistance. Don’t get discouraged and abort the mission!
2.) Post about it on your blog tomorrow (please either copy my button code or leave a link to my Mission: Family Nutrition post in your Friday post, so others can learn about it and join in.)
3.) Come here on Friday ... I will have some “nutrition clues” to help get us started.
4.) Leave your link on my blog Friday via Mister Linky. (Be sure to link to your Mission: Family Nutrition post, not just your blog.)
That's it!
Please tweet this, so others can join in!
And come back tomorrow and we'll get on the case!
I'm really excited about this! My mom doesn't have a blog but she says she might try to follow along too. See you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHey Melinda, you're totally on with what I'm thinking too! I've got the topical skin care covered for health, but have been S L O W L Y realizing I also need to look at what I'm putting into my body.
ReplyDeleteI've been eating more apples the last few weeks. That and no soda has already made a huge difference in how I feel, some pounds lost, and the final straw for blemish banishment!
