Well, this blog definitely didn't take off the way I had hoped so I am scratching my previous idea / plan to keep a 'Diary' of my own weight-loss journey in hopes that it will help keep me on tract (obviously that didn't happen), and focus more on life in general, and the life-style changes my family will be going through (and need to go through). A lot of what will be on here will be health related, whether it be diet change or exercise, but it will also be more than that. Coming together as a family, working together, helping each other, activities together, learning habits..... all that sort of stuff. It's not going to be easy to change things, we are a family of 5 very independent people who like doing our own things but there is also a lot of love and care there for one another and the togetherness and good life habits will be something that will last our entire lives.
Mission Statement: "To share our family's growth in togetherness, healthy lifestyle changes, and experiences not only for our own record to keep track of, but also to inspire and possibly even help others to try the same."
Over the next few posts I'd like to discuss our family life, and what work needs to be done to better things. I'm not saying we are a troubled family, we're doing just fine but there are times when I feel everyone just does their own thing and we are missing out on a lot of the little things that end up being the most memorable. We need more variety in our activities besides sitting in front of our technology, new learning experiences and just plain old fun. With that said, here are the Family Goals we have come up with:
Family Goals: - Healthier Eating Habits
- Create Better Bonding Time (Do More Together as a Family)
- Getting Organized
- Everyone doing their part to have a smooth running household
- Creating Lasting Memories
I'm sure as we go we'll think of more things to add to this list, but this is definitely a good starting point. My first goal is to get started on that Healthy eating thing, and not just for me, but for everyone. So stay tuned tomorrow and we'll jump right in and get started with that.
If you could list 5 things you would like to improve on as a Family what would they be?? Let me know in the comments below.
