My son WANTS to workout with me?? AND he asks me for advise on correct FORM when using weights?? I LOVE IT!
Seriously, how awesome is it when your kids model you?!?! That is when you are doing POSITIVE things. The past two days Luke has asked what my workout of the day is and if he can join me. He does PiYo with me. I am so proud of him!! I am proud of ME too!! I actually inspire my 12 year old son. He looks at me and thinks I am fit. My daughter poked my arm the other night and began laughing. I asked her, "What is so funny?" She said, "I thought it (arm) would be fluffy but it is hard like a guy's arm!" I laughed so hard. My kids see me as "too buff". They are awesome!
Now, here is my job:
*I need to see myself through my kids' eyes.
*I need my daughter to know she is beautiful inside and out.
*I need to teach my son to respect ALL women--no matter their size and shape.
*I need to love myself for who I am now--despite my size and shape.
*I need to ensure my children are fit and healthy in body, mind, and spirit.
*I need to teach them "real life" perceptions --not media or others' perspectives/perceptions of beauty/health/fitness.
The fact that my children ask and want to workout with me shows me I am doing my job!!
