I never thought much about family fitness until I was pregnant with my first child.  Of course I didn’t have much reason to think about it until then but it suddenly became very important to me.  I’ve always been a bit overweight and other than a few short spurts here and there, fitness has never really been a priority in my life.  It took a pregnancy and the birth of my son to figure out  just how important exercise and a healthy diet really are.  I realized that I don’t want to be the fat mom sitting on the park bench while my children run and play.  I want to be running and playing with them.  I taught myself to eat a healthier diet and exercised when I could find the time, but eventually I got off track.  A second pregnancy only got me more off of my health track and left me with an extra fifty pounds.

One of the things that really helped me stick to my goals before was knowing that my child was watching my efforts and learning.  I know that being a good example is the best way to teach my children to eat healthy foods and exercise.  With our busy schedule it is really hard to find time to schedule physical activities but we do love to have “dance parties” in the living room or stop at the park for a few minutes when the weather is nice.  My 3-year-old also loves to play the “exercise game” (Wii Fit) whenever he gets a chance but that’s about the extent of our fitness plan at this point.  I’m really excited to have discovered the We Fit Families forum and to have a place to get new ideas of things we can do together as a family.  There are also some great healthy recipes there that I’m hoping will help put my family back to healthier eating and help my husband and I shed some of the extra pounds we’ve collected.
