Loopy

I'd like to call myself "healthy". I think when it comes to working out I am. But I don't think healthy-eaters eat spoonfuls of frosting out of the tub in the fridge, or drink diet soda like it's water.

I do try, and think I'm getting better with my eating habits. I blame my kids for that. I want them to have a good example, and put food in it's proper place. Cuz I'm not an emotional eater or anything, ahem, so I don't want them to do that either...since I don't. Ahem.

So far, they are typical kids. They turn their nose up at a veggie, even before they've tried it. *How do they know?!* Fry something, or cover it in sugar and they're climbing your leg wanting a bite. And soda? I am not to be blamed for their knowledge of soda. I've tried to keep it from them, but my parents/siblings are a force to be reckoned with.

I do occasionally buy them sugary cereal, or french toast sticks, in the name of convenience and a tight budget. Why is the bad stuff always so much cheaper? You'd think if you're being good and buying the healthy stuff, you'd at least be rewarded with a smaller grocery bill. Not so.

Anyway, hopefully our eating habits will continue to improve. And hopefully I can get them to stop begging me for "froot yoops" every morning. ;)

P.S. I got the inspiration for that loopy stack over at The Bonnie 5. Check out her blog!
