About 9 months ago our family decided to really change our eating habits. We were never unhealthy eaters but realized we could be doing a whole lot more to be healthy and educate our children about the importance of eating right. We literally donated all the food in our pantry and fridge and started from scratch. We now buy all natural, all organic options (unless we are eating out-that is our splurge time) and I can finally testify to say IT IS WORTH IT!
The prices are a bit higher, but now that we are eating the types of food that are healthy and natural for our body to process we are hungry less and have more energy. Another exciting thing we have noticed is that “knock on wood” NONE of our family of 5 have gotten sick!! Not even a yucky cold!
So, I wanted to let you all know about http://myfitfoods.com to help get you started. They have 2 locations in San Antonio. You can order online or at their store. Their options for meals are delicious and a large variety to chose from. You can find diabetic friendly, gluten free, wheat free and other options for your meals. This might be a great way to start out trying new meals that are better for your body. And if you have as many evening activities as we do, it sure does make kitchen time a heck of a lot easier. I just pop one of these dinners into the oven to heat up and the kids eat it! Much healthier option than a frozen pizza! I don’t use them every night but I do love having my freezer full of healthier options on those busy nights. Nights that I am home I stay simple with an all natural meat and organice vegetables and bread for sides.
Our new saying around the house to the kids is, “You are what you eat! If you eat junk, you feel like junk. If you eat good, you feel good.” Our older kids get it! I’ve noticed even at birthday parties they sometimes don’t even want all the cake and ice cream because they realize how it makes their tummy hurt afterwards. I still like it and enjoy the splurge 
but I can definitely tell when I chose unhealthy options. My body pays for it later. Give it a try with your family! You won’t regret working hard at making sure the foods you put into your body is helping you to live a healthier and longer life!
Make a date night for September 23 and take your kids over to Boerne Gymnastics to play while you dine out with your honey! If you are looking for an affordable and fun way to entertain your kids and can’t find a babysitter, why not try taking them to a fun night of open gym, climbing, games, movie, pizza and drinks.
