Here's the best part of good eating to me...my kids are healthier and happier than any kids I know. Seriously. And they are loads better off than I was at their age.
We make them eat what we eat. They don't have a free day unless we do. They eat whole grains, protein, no sugar, and lots of veggies, and healthy fat. They know the benefits of it all too because I educate them.
That is one of the reasons my fourteen year old son has a six pack and viens showing in his arms. That is one of the reasons my 12 year old can hang rolling with a lot of the grownups. We stress the importance of healthy living, and they are mentally, physically and emotionally better off for it.
As for me, I feel better, I look better, I think better and I am physically capable of doing things at age 36 that I could never do at age 20. That's pretty awesome.
There's always room for improvement, but I feel that I'm getting to a point where a good diet just feels better all around than a bad one. I still enjoy a free day, but even a lot of those meals are things like whole grain crust pizza with turkey pepperoni, organic veggies and lean sausage.
