Gaining weight? The answer is broccoli.

My 3.5 year old looked at me today and said “Mommy, what’s in your tummy? Why are you getting fat?”

Since I have not yet told him that he will be dethroned once again, he went on to say that maybe I have been eating too much junk food.

“Mommy, you need to eat more broccoli!”

Ok, kid, broccoli it is!
The funniest (or maybe saddest) part of this story? He wasn’t looking (or touching) my stomach at all.
He was concerned by how large my chest has become!

Ahhhh, the joys of motherhood and pregnancy!

I hope you are staying active gang! Get up and get moving RIGHT NOW!

About Me

In my life before kids, I was a personal fitness trainer and self proclaimed fitness junkie. I loved the 5am workouts and evening strength training sessions. Now that I'm a mom, my life is filled with 5am feedings and piles of laundry. I've let my fitness slip and this blog will hopefully provide motivation to help myself (and YOU!) get back in shape. I want to be fit, be healthy, and be happy! No more excuses....it's time to workout mommy!

Well, damn! I guess I need to go defrost the broccoli in the fridge. The kids isn’t that far off…I mean, broccoli is high in fiber which will help to use the bathroom more often which can help you lose weight. Right? LOL~

kids are so perceptive. Mine were the same–asking me if I had a baby in my tummy VERY early on–so early that I should have been insulted! And now that the baby is out, I AM eating lots of broccoli!!

Oh kids are awesome! When I told my son I was pregnant he laughed and said, “Oh mom, you’re going to get sooooo fat!!” Nice.
