With each of my 3 pregnancies I developed gestational diabetes. Because I had gestational diabetes I have atleast a 25% chance of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. As a family we have been focusing on incorporating healthier food choices into our diets and being proactive with planning our meals so that we aren't going out to eat at places out of convienience.
For me this also means 3 pregnancies worth of weight that I am combating and I have lots of work to do! Recently I have started working out at Goodlife Fitness and we have been more proactive in getting out and going for walks, encouraging the kids to ride their bikes more, and just being phycially active more than I (we) have been in the past. It's really just time to step it up!
To help encourage other people to live a healthier lifestyle I am giving away two, one month Goodlife Fitness gym passes. You have to start some where so make sure you enter the giveaway below!
And now to find some healthy meals that will appeal to the kids!
