For a start, take a look at your diet. Many families in Shreveport-Bossier have a very high amount of fried foods as part of their diet. Don't get me wrong, sometimes Buffalo Wild Wings boneless wings are tasty, but when you are eating fried foods as the base for a diet, your waist line is going to grow. A healthy diet filled with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins like chicken/pork/lean red meat. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, instead of soda, energy drinks or alcohol.
Start being active by yourself and with a group. Take your kids for a walk. Go play in the park on a weekend. Take the dog for a run. If you have children, they will take your example and continue to grow and follow your lead. Keep it being positive, not negative!
