Monkey See, Monkey Do

This weekend I had a truly wonderful weight loss moment.  It had nothing to do with a number on the scale or the size of my pants: it had everything to do with how my choices have impacted my children.  After I ran the Trolley Run on Sunday, my boys did their first kids run.  It sounds like just a fun thing to do: get a cute shirt and watch little boys do what little boys do.  But, for me it meant so much more.  Because I run, my kids will have opportunities to be active and healthy.  As simple as that sounds, it hit me very profoundly as I watched my youngest zoom past the other kids in his age group.  My boys are not only watching me be more active: they have a parent who will be active with them.  Priceless!
