I promised you an example from my childhood when I was not such an avid exerciser...
My parents are still marveling at the fact that my husband and I hike every weekend. My Mom has a degree in nutrition and growing up, she was an aerobics instructor. I, however, had no hope of following the same path. I was a huge Barbie's fan as a child and I spent large portions of the summer and after school playing with them. As an only child I had to find ways to amuse myself.
I was in kindergarten and off school for a snow day. Of course, I was playing with my Barbie's. It is funny how I can still remember this scenario to this day. My Mom kept coming into my room to encourage me to play outside. I had absolutely zero interest: that required getting up and moving. Finally, my Mom decided enough was enough and exploded, " STOP BEING SO SEDENTARY! Put on your snowsuit and don't come back until you have walked down our street and back," (which I might add, was the longest street with a HUGE hill...or at least it seemed that way to a kindergartner). I cried the whole way there and back.
Now we all laugh about that day and how I never forgot what the word sedentary meant. That example may have sounded cruel but you have to understand my history - I was the most lethargic child growing up...and overweight. My Mom was worried about me. She never thought she would see the day when I would be blogging about my LOVE for healthy living! 
Do you have any stories such as these from your childhood? I would love to hear them.
Do I really measure out all the food I eat? Until tomorrow...
