Mimicking
When you become a parent your whole entire world and thought process changes. At a certain age your child really starts to mimick everything you do and say. My son now loves to walk around and do two lunges and a squat. He also loves to do leg lifts for his abs and pretend like he can run like mommy on my treadmill or on the sidewalk. It makes me smile and laugh because I hope that one day my lil man can be a running buddy. But then......it makes me wonder. Will these kinds of early teachings of fitness be good or potential harmful. There are so many problems wrong with body weight images in all ages and stages of life that I can't help but wonder if it will eventually make him "obsessed" with fitness. Which in my mind is awesome if he chooses to live a healthy fit lifestyle, but I just hope he sees the good in it and not the confusion of fit and healthy and not the distorted images of "health" in the celeb society. But for now He's happy and I can not help but install healthy habits and an energetic life. I think we just have to remember to keep the good fun parts in mind and never down our own body image or that we don't work hard enough to stay fit. If we believe in ourselves then they will mimick that and believe in themselves.....at least we hope, right?! :) 1 comments from 1 users

it is funny. It makes you quickly realize the things you should not be doign around your child, as it comes right back to you. But other things are just fun. I have a punching bag, and sometimes do some shadow boxing to work out, and its hilarious with my 3 year old starts doing it too.
