Is it True? Have I Possibly Broke Through?

I have been on a Plateau with my weight loss for six weeks, that was until this week, Yeah!!!!! Ready for the secret? I changed on thing. When I drink my protein shake. A couple of weeks ago I had a student share with me the struggles she was having with a plateau until she saw the recommendation on Dr. Oz. She used to drink her protein in the late afternoon before she worked out, the same time I would drink mine. She now drinks it very first thing in the morning and it worked! Her plateau is broken. This last week I decided to give it a try. I made sure I had my blender and ingredients ready the night before so it was easy. I'm happy to report a three pound weight loss!!! I'm not sure why it works, but it was a way to trick my body for the time being. Dare to share! Thank you Kathy!

Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Obese!

I had 50 kid's in my Zumbatomic (kids Zumba) class yesterday and it was so exciting! Their little faces said it all, pure fun! These boys and girls were not concerned about what they looked like, how many calories they where burning, or if there heart rate was in its target range. They just wanted to dance! All they know at this point is their body is meant to jump, wiggle, skip, run, hop, turn.....MOVE. Why do we squash that? At what point does sit down and be quiet trump everything else. I am so guilty of constantly asking my son to calm down. Yes, they need to learn self control, but they also need to know it's okay to move and it's fun!

No one means to help their child on a path to obesity, but we do map it out for them when we are not the example. I have already started paving the road for my daughter because she has seen her parents give every reason not to move and indulge in what ever makes you feel content for that moment. My hopes are that she will now see it is never too late to change your mind.

Childhood obesity is an epidemic that we can change and control. My goal is to dig up any path I may have laid for my children and REROUTE!
