30 Days of Thanks - Day 14

I'm thankful for Pinterest. It sounds silly but this website is amazing. I've found so many great ideas for the kids, crafts, decor, home organization, photo inspiration, quotes to keep things in perspective, and lately the biggest thing has been health and fitness. I have been so determined and had more will power and discipline though this past month than ever before. I really attribute a lot of it to Pinterest and using it to constantly learn new things, be inspired, and "keep my eye on the prize."

I can also see that the change in me has made a great impression on Caleb. He's been asking for water to drink way more often than juice and also been asking for healthier snacks. Yesterday he had a major meltdown because he wanted black beans for lunch. :) He also gets excited about exercising and getting his body moving. That is one of my biggest motivations. I think of it like this (that of course I found on Pinterest):

While I would obviously love to look like this image above, the most important (and realistic) thing is that I teach my children healthy habits that they will take with them into adulthood. It's not about fad diets, it's about eating healthy foods to give your body fuel, and about getting off the couch, logging off the computer, and making your body strong. And what better way to teach than to lead by example?

Hands down, best website on the internet. You can see my health & fitness board here.
