Yeah, I wish I knew more earlier on in life too. I have an 18 year old with Austism and Developmental Disabilities and now trying to change some of those habits is really difficult with her. May God give you the grace and strength to complete your walking program and keep you healthy and happy during your pregnancy. :-)

Have fun with the walking program and good luck with your children's wrestling!

I can't agree more about the processed food. Most kid food has additives and food colorings that have been proven to cause behavior problems. In many instances of ADHD diagnoses, kids respond better to changing their diet, but doctor's instead pump them with drugs. In Europe, many of these food dyes are banned for this reason. When will the U.S. get it together?! At least we as consumers have options to by the more natural options instead. Happy wrestling!

Sounds like you have a great plan for wrestling. I hear you about what we feed kids. One of the little guys that I work with his Mom sends Capri Sun's all the time and I am constantly telling him you can't drink that here. I give him the option of milk or water but as soon as his Mom comes I see him leave and he's drinking that Capri Sun right out the door. Which is sad because his Mom talks about how healthy they eat. I wish I knew about healthier way to eat earlier myself, but now that I know I'm not going back, except maybe a Reese's Peanut Butter cup every now and then. =)

I agree. Enjoying stuff every once in a while is okay but we should always be striving to do better. Also did you guys here Cheerios are supposed to be going GMO free? I wonder if they will toss the BHT out the door too then. I haven't checked it yet but someone said Nature's Path is a good brand to look at for cereal

I love when my phone corrects hear to here so I look like an idiot..

nature's path is good...my favorite it Cascadian farm organic. They have one that tastes just like cinnamon toast crunch!

The walking program sounds fun! Looks like a good one for you since you even have a treadmill! Does all the walking around after the kiddos count hee hee ;) What a great post about children's diets. You sound like a great mother to think of what they are eating! When I reflect on my growing up eating some of the things that mom fed us I can see how far we have come in health awareness!

My fiancé loves the Pumpkin Flax Granola that Nature's Path makes! I think it's $3.00 at Walmart, which isn't too expensive considering it's USDA organic and Non-GMO. But it is a tad bit high in calories, because it is a granola! :P 260 calories for 55g or 3/4 of a cup.
