run errands will keep your health and weight on track. It’s easy to underestimate how long you will be away from home while grocery shopping or commuting from home, work, or your child’s school.
You can combat hunger by carrying a thermal water bottle and insulated lunch box filled with water and fruit, raw veggies and nuts. This will help you resist the urge to buy a chocolate bar or chips while in the checkout line during your shopping trips.
As parents, we put the time and effort that is necessary to keep our kids safe, loved, and healthy. While you are doing the work of being a good parent, don’t forget to be good to yourself. Remember, if you aren’t healthy, your kids will miss out on all that you have to offer them.
