This was taken from my dear friend, Rachel in Richmond. But as I was reading this article I just had to post it here and talk about it. You can read her post about it as well on her Stroller Strides Richmond Blog.

It is so challenging feeding a 4 year old! I have that mommy guilt every time I feed her pasta-even if I put a vegetable of her choice in it because I feel like she eats so much, she is going to turn into a noodle! We try and offer her new foods, and sometimes it does work, but I worry so much about what she eats now and how it will affect her future eating habits. I am going to try some of the things the article talks about. Especially not rewarding her or praising her every time she eats something healthy. I sure don't reward myself with extra TV or a dessert if I eat all my salad! I want her to learn, as I have, that the reward to eating healthy foods is how you and your body will feel in the long run!

Instructor Training
Last weekend I hosted a Stroller Strides Instructor Training here in Nashville. Farel Hruska, The National Fitness Director for Stroller Strides came from San Diego to teach 24 women how to become GREAT Stroller Strides Instructors. It was so wonderful having her here and as always, I learned so much from her, as did all the ladies. We had women from Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Missouri, and even Washington State! On both Saturday and Sunday morning, Farel taught AMAZING classes at Centennial Park in Nashville, whoo was I sore! You can view some pictures here

Thank you SO much Farel!!
