Weight Loss Wednesday~ helping kids have healthy fun
Good Weight loss Wednesday! I’ve been drinking more water, not as much as I should but more, and watching what types of food I am eating. I’ve lost 4 pounds which I’m guessing was mostly water weight or whatever. I came across a site that I think my eleven year old will enjoy which can be visited here: http://adisney.go.com/healthykids/ It seems to be a really neat site directed towards helping kids get healthy the fun way.
The site is set up in sort of a camp theme. You have a camp counselor that helps you along the way. You are competing against another camp called Lazy Acres for tokens and stuff.
There are different sections to learn about and compete in. One of the sections is Mickey’s Mess hall which is where you learn about the food pyramid. There’s also Lilo’s Luau where you learn how much food from each pyramid group you should eat. The last two sections are Kim Possible’s Science Cave and the Incredible Island. At the science cave you compete and learn about food moderation while learning about physical activity over at the Incredible Island.
One of the best things about the site is the cool parents section which gives parents advice on fun activities to do as a family and fun meal ideas to make with your kids.
Disney characters make this site even more interesting. If you want your child to be healthy and have fun while doing it I really think this would be a good place to start.
