Last winter Mena pointed at my stomach and asked, "What's in there?" I told her, "Fat." I've tried to be careful what I say to the girls so they grow up with a positive self-image. Over the last 3 months, we've talked about getting into shape and taking care of our bodies. We've talked about exercising and eating healthy. I've lost 15 pounds and dropped a size. Mena now comes home and at supper she'll talk about how much exercise she got during the day. Some days she'll say, "I didn't get much exercise, Mom. Let's ride bikes after supper." So we ride bikes, go swimming and go to the playground. We've really enjoyed the summer being active.
