Honestly, I think I can fulfill my ten minutes of mindfulness just thinking about what on earth I can write about. Goodness, I thought this was going to be a breeze!!!
One of the things I think about often is how our eating passion affects the kids. While Sam and I eat paleo most of the time, we don't force it on the kids at all. We still don't let them eat whatever they want but they eat a lot more carbohydrates than we do.
Ben is a fruit fan and has found protein bars. He started with the protein bars when he went to middle school. He doesn't always have time to eat so I told him he should keep something quick and easy in his locker. Now, he has one at school and takes one for gymnastics practice. I really need to do some research and figure out if he is eating too many of them.
Maggie is our carbohydrate queen. She'd eat mac and cheese at every meal every day if she could. Oh, she may opt for pizza once in a while. She can also eat several meals a day if she is allowed. She will eat when she gets home and then ask later what's for dinner. Whereas Ben can burn off whatever he eats because of his constant exercising, Maggie is much more sedentary and she's built completely different to Ben. We need to keep an eye on what both of them eat and we are doing much better than we used to. However, I can remember the days when they ate eggs for breakfast and took chicken for lunch. Now they eat cereal for breakfast and bread at lunch.
