So I made an exception. It’s time for those new years resolutions and naturally, everyone has something to say about weight loss. Even me.

But, this is where I would like to emphasize the family part of the Healthy & Fit Family. Kids should not be on diets. Nope. Not at all. So don’t even show them the links above. Instead, read this article on the South African IOL site (because why have the internet if you’re not going to link to Africa) about what your kids want from you this year. It’s all healthy.

Nutrition

We can all resolve not to use to food to control each other.

Families who do things together, get along better. One of the things a family might resolve to do together is to drink less pop. That’s soda, fizzy drinks, limonade or squash for you non-Canadians. In fact, in my family we’re trying to cut down to one glass on Saturdays after we do the shopping. It’s a treat we’ll share. Still, other bloggers say we should just Say No to Soda.

All of us have to watch what we eat and drink, but not just for our general nutrition. We have to prevent food poisoning too.

And, in case you were worried, a reminder that healthy eating doesn’t have to be expensive.

Exercise

As hard as it will be to find a spot at the gym today, everyone has got to do what they promised themselves. If you’re careful to work out all your muscles, you might even become smarter. Working your core muscles, on the other hand, makes you stand up straighter and taller.

There are 12 months in the year and next month’s carnival will be posted on February 6 and hosted by Revka at Our Family Porch. Submissions are open.
Happy 2007 everyone!

There is nothing you can’t do to lose more than 40 pounds too. Stopping the alcohol, eating less and jogging 5km four days a week helped me.

The rest of it was emotional and that transformation is in my essay in the above book. I haven’t read it yet, but I hope the other writers will have some help for me too.
