For the Health of It

 

Before Covid broke out with all the mandatory shut downs and stay at home orders Tony and I were actually doing really well with our eating habits and physical activities.  But then it all went down the drain.  A year ago we joined a local gym to try and turn things around but it ended as does with many people.  No time to go and then we were paying for a monthly service we weren't using.  Unfortunately Carson and Alaina have inherited our bad habits and genes.  They have dealt with the consequences of those habits during middle and high school, which in and of itself it difficult enough.  About a month ago Alaina asked if I would make an appointment for her to go see a nutritionist.  With no prior decision to specifically work with a naturopathic doctor and nutritionist that is where we ended up.  Tony, Carson and I agreed we would do the eating and lifestyle changes with her.  Tomorrow we start.  There is definitely some apprehension about making this change.  We all know the benefits but change is hard.  We have to work through addictions to certain foods and get our bodies moving again.  So here's to drinking lots of water, being more physically active, sleeping better and staying away from sweeteners for the next few weeks.  Wish us Luck!
