What are your current healthy habits (exercise, food, supplements)?
I drink at least 48oz of water a day.

What foods are you eating, feeding to your family, and where do you buy them?
I buy my groceries at the Commisary and Stater Bros. I try to add in whole grain pastas and breads when I can. I also try to sneak in veggies and fruits with other foods.

What is important to you regarding health and your family?
It is important to keep one son's weight up while trying to explain to the other that it is important for him to not eat like his brother...difficult to say the least.

How often to you get a physical and all your labs checked?
Once a year.

How often do you have your teeth cleaned?
Every 6 months. This month me and the kids are all due so need to find a dentist I will like.  

Only 48oz? You are supposed to drink your weight in ounces a day to stay properly hydrated

I try to add in whole grain pastas and breads

My docs have told me that pasta and bread has NO nutritional value whatsoever. That's not to say I don't continue to feed it to the males in my family; I just don't partake in either. Once in a blue moon pasta but not much. 

Can't use the water calculater on my phone :( 

Only 48oz? You are supposed to drink your weight in ounces a day to stay properly hydrated

I said at least. And if I drank any more water in a day than I usually do I would live in the bathroom. I swear I go every 45 minutes! 

That's not to say I don't continue to feed it to the males in my family; I just don't partake in either.

Oh, I partake, no nutritional value or not. I love me some carbs ;o) 

maybe my doctor does not do a physical on me because I do not drink ,smoke or do drugs seriously it must be why and then I already look like Sylvester Stallone too! :) But though I act like a took experimental drugs [comedian]and drink diet sodas like it's going out of style ! 

lol...my lapband helps me make the decision to not. ;) 

I love uncooked edible grocery market mushrooms ! ..yumyuum 

maybe my doctor does not do a physical on me

You need to ask for it joe - and you are DEFINITELY of the age where you need to ask. Men are so bad about doing the things they are supposed to do in that regard. 

I do like baked chicken but have to get it at Staters ..you buy from the Deli already cooked. I like some devil's food cookies too. 

I do like baked chicken but have to get it at Staters

Why do you have to get it at Stater's joe?? Don't you have an oven? I can tell you how to make your own a WHOLE lot cheaper and better. :)

First - go steal a chicken from 5kids3dogs... 

What is important to you regarding health


Cracked the Chantix starter pack open yesterday. Again. :( 

Oh come on now...62 views and no more VIEWS on the matter???? pfffttt 

What are your current healthy habits (exercise, food, supplements)? I try to exercise when I have time, it seems like there is never enough time in the day for all that I have to do. I have been trying to eat more at home and it's usually wholesome foods with alot of veggies.

What foods are you eating, feeding to your family, and where do you buy them?
I buy most of my food at Staters

What is important to you regarding health and your family? Being active and I would love for them to take vitamins, my kids like vegetables and fruit so no worries there.

How often to you get a physical and all your labs checked? Probably not often enough for me but once a year for my kids.

How often do you have your teeth cleaned? I take the kids every 6 months but I don't have medical so whenever I can afford it for me I guess. 

Dinner included a salad with peas and grilled chicken. MMMM!! It was good (And Keljoy...no pastas...lol ;}) 

ha ha good girl!!!

We had stuffed potatoes from Omaha Steaks courtesy of Great Grandma for Christmas and an all organic salad (red leaf romaine, red speckled lettuce, cukes, moringa, pomegrante/raspberry dressing) from the Farm Fresh Store! Everyone was full and satisfied. We discussed all our components in detail over dinner lol.

*goes to look for miscellaneous chocolate hidden around kitchen* 

What are your current healthy habits (exercise, food, supplements)? I work out for an hour to two at least 5 days a week. I eat as many fruits, veggies, and lean meats as I can comfortably fit in. I rarely drink soda and try to drink 64oz of water a day. I also just do my best to be productive and keep both me and my munchkin moving and involve her in my exercising and all that.

What foods are you eating, feeding to your family, and where do you buy them?

We currently have grapes, bananas, clementines, and apples in the house fruit wise. Veggie wise we have green beans, corn, carrots, and sweet potatoes. We typically only bake or cook chicken breasts in minimal oil with spices. Tonight we deviated a bit and ate chicken and noodles. We go to the supermarkets here because the farmer's markets are all closed for the winter. We used to get a lot of our fruits and veggies there in the summer and fall.

What is important to you regarding health and your family? Moderation. And that this is a lifestyle. No diets in this house. We have little treats here and there because we genuinely enjoy food, and we know first hand that depriving ourselves of what we are REALLY craving just leads to binging and over indulgence later. I want my kiddo to make good choices because she likes eating a variety of healthy foods.

How often to you get a physical and all your labs checked?

Once a year ish. I'm not a huge stickler on this, but for the most part I'm good about it.

How often do you have your teeth cleaned?

Every 6 months. 

We typically only bake or cook chicken breasts in minimal oil

That's one thing I haven't done since I was in my 20s...except for over easy eggs...cook in oil that is...I don't know any other way to make over easy eggs without oil!!! Well...and the biscuits you can make into doughnuts...those of course have to be fried in oil. ;) 

Extra virgin olive oil isn't really that bad for you in small amounts, so I've never broken that particular habit. We don't do it every day, though. 

Pretty much when I spray my pan with olive oil Pam...I don't have to use any extra oil for anything. Except those over easy eggs of course. ;) I don't ever fry any meat in a pan though unless it is to brown something before the crockpot...it goes in the oven to bake, roast, broil or on the grill. Same with veggies. 

What are your current healthy habits (exercise, food, supplements)? Eat veggies and walk

What foods are you eating, feeding to your family, and where do you buy them?
Commissary. I cook regular food. Steak, BP and veggies...pork chops rice pot roast roast beef carrots. lots of chicken, pasta. burgers. Not very healthy I guess
What is important to you regarding health and your family? For my children to not be overweight, portion control and staying active

How often to you get a physical and all your labs checked?
oh its been abt 2 years, but I am making an appt soon
How often do you have your teeth cleaned?
I hate the dentist. I refuse to answer the question. But I brush 3-4times a day 

So....who else has what/does what??

Do tell. I like to hear other's health habits and exchange ideas about same. 

Current heathy habits: walks with the kiddos, eating more fresh and frozen produce over canned and eating less processed foods.

What do I feed my family: homemade goodness. Once in a while we end up with "food like product" but my main goal is to avoid them :) We buy out food at the commissary, staters and farmers market.

Yearly physical: I try. Kids never miss an appointment though! 

I run my mouth; push my luck; drag my azz and jump to conclusions...Keeps me fit as a fiddle..... 

Yes it does lol. 

Here are a couple of things for you all that I found on the Farm Fresh FB site:

Juicing your veggies and fruit recipes 

Storing and keeping veggies fresh!
