Family Challenges

Kudos to both families for allowing both Donna and myself into their homes to "scope" out the landscape of food. Both families are doing awesome, paying great attention to labels and realizing that marketing plays a huge role in enticing the consumer to by "their" product over another. The more informed consumer you are, the better you are able to choose for your family and the speed at choosing becomes faster-so time spent at the store is less-more time for you! One thing I noticed that both families are struggling with is breaking with the old--trying new things and relying on old excuses. Changing behavior IS one of the most difficult tasks we face, especially when it comes not only changing your own, but having positive influences on your family as well. As we continue on with the fit family challenge, remember that while it is challenging, it will be rewarding at the end when these now in place behaviors and excuses are replaced with new, more healthful behaviors with minimal excuses! Keep up the awesome work!
