I like to think that I’m generally a healthy person. Yet I know that there is so much more that I could be doing. Before becoming a parent, (there’s the excuse) I had so much more time to exercise, spend time on myself and I did a lot less stress eating!

Now with a family that includes two toddlers, I feel like I’m always on-the-go and on high alert. There are too many times when I end up skipping my workouts, picking up a fast-food breakfast or lunch for myself because after preparing the kid’s lunches and snacks I was too tired or rushed to make something for myself. I was a big meal planner for dinner as well and life seems to have taken over and the meal planning has taken a backseat which often leads to take-out for dinner.

With some recent health issues in our family, eating well and exercising has become more important. We’ve become very aware of what is in our food, what we are putting into our bodies and how important exercise is.

So when I got the opportunity to join the Subway Commit to Fit Pledge, I was excited. It was the push I needed to make all those small changes to our lifestyle. Since making the #commit2fit pledge here are the changes we have committed to:

1. We’ve started walking to destinations that are close by instead of driving.

2. Three nights a week, the hubby and I are doing yoga instead of sitting on the couch and watching TV.
3. I’ve been prepping the night before so EVERYONE is able to eat a healthy breakfast in the morning, not just the kids.
4. On busy evenings when cooking a meal is just not going to happen, we’ve been avoiding fast food and making better choices like sandwiches, soups and salads from Subway. It’s still fast but so much healthier!

5. I’ve committed to working out four times a week, not matter what. (And now I’ve announced it to the world!)

If you’re looking for a little push towards a healthier lifestyle, take the Subway Commit to Fit Pledge. It’ll help you achieve your goals and in the process, you can win some awesome prizes!
