“Mom & Dad I am so bored, isn’t there anything to do?”
Well if your like most parents your thinking to yourself,”If your that bored then you can wash the dishes, take out the trash once in a while and clean your room!”
Do I have it right?
Well this summer can be a family effort. You can pick one night a week to spend as a family doing various things. As a father of 2 I sure do delight in my children so I wanted to incorperate a fun activity that they WANT to do coupled by some dull things I want to do. So let me describe what we do as a family followed by places to find these activites.
1) Movie night is fun…for everyone. I used a service called Netflix to get the kids entertained. I whip up my favorite smoothe and get some carrots for the movie. They pick the movie I pick the food and drink. HaHaHa Excellent catch right?
2) One night will be game night for the kids. I pick the game. Instead of the normal shoot um up games I pick up a health game like
The Largest Looser Ultimate Workout, or Nickelodeon – Kid Fit. This one they really like Family Have fun: Fitness Fun. Then I let them choose the food and drink. Half the time they choose the junk food and drink but I found a way to get around this… {evil laughter} Don’t have them in the house that night. Only place one junk food in the house for that night and the rest can be healthful. Is this manipulation? YES but that is what a parent is for, to make sure the kids are well taken care of.
So these are just 2 things I have found that really works well for our family.
I would LOVE to hear about your family nights so we can share it with other parents. This summer might not be as dull for us and our kids as last summer. We might even loose a few pounds! ^^
You Don’t Have to Be an Elite Athlete to Delight in the Benefits of Shaklee Sports Nutrition Products
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jaffaary.com (Press Release) – December 2, 2010 –
You Don’t Have to Be an Elite Athlete to Delight in the Benefits of Shaklee Sports Nutrition Products.
Summer is synonymous with outdoor activities – running, cycling, swimming, tennis, baseball, volleyball, soccer and more. All require stamina, strength and endurance. And whether you are an elite world class athlete or a weekend warrior, proper nutrition and preparation beforehand, rehydration before and during events, and recovery afterwards are all vital.
In 1980, Shaklee Corporation became the official nutrition consultant to the U.S. Ski Team, where it engaged in comprehensive analysis of the diets of elite athletes, developing and testing products to support and help make landmark expeditions and record-breaking achievements possible. This research translated into sport-specific dietary recommendations and the development of high performance nutritional sports products – Shaklee Performance® Maximum Endurance Sports Drink and Shaklee Physique® Workout Maximizer Supplement.
Stuck-up performance with Shaklee sports products is defined by the Shaklee Difference in Shaklee Performance and Shaklee Physique – developed through clinical testing at leading research institutions including the University of Texas at Austin, Yale, Stanford University/VA Medical Center, and NASA Ames.
Shaklee Performance®is the perfect sports drink to help maintain optimal hydration and body fluid balance during physical competition. A well-designed sports drink that offers a finely tuned mixture of electrolytes, Performance encourages rehydration by balancing thirst with fluid wants. It also provides a research proven concentration of carbohydrates, which your body uses as muscle fuel, without decreasing fluid absorption. Shaklee Performance®was designed with all of these wants in mind, without the addition of any artificial flavors, sweeteners or added preservatives.
The Shaklee Difference:
OptiCarb®
OptiCarb is a patented Shaklee combination of carbohydrates, including glucose, fructose and maltodextrin. Glucose and fructose are simple carbohydrates for quick absorption. Maltodextrin is a more complex carbohydrate designed to prolong absorption to help sustain energy and endurance. The unique OptiCarb and electrolyte formulation in Shaklee Performance®is designed to give a high level of carbohydrate energy without gastrointestinal distress.
Performance provides the carbohydrate energy the body wants for maximum endurance, as well as fluids and a unique balance of electrolytes to help prevent dehydration. In clinical testing, Performance helped maintain athletes’ blood glucose levels for muscle energy and fluid levels for proper hydration.
Daedalus Project (1988) Shaklee Performance® was designed under the guidance of Dr. Ethan Nadel of Yale University to fuel a record-setting pedal-powered running away of a man-made airplane – the Daedalus Project, a 72 mile human powered running away between the Greek islands of Crete and Santorini. Kanellos Kanopoulos had only one fuel during his record-breaking running away: Performance, the maximum endurance sports drink developed by Shaklee.
Electrolytes Shaklee Performance® has a unique balance of five electrolytes designed to help optimize the maintenance of body fluids, including potassium 50 mg, calcium 40 mg, sodium 115 mg, phosphorus 20 mg, chloride 45 mg, magnesium 5 mg per serving. Electrolytes are essential for maintenance of body fluids, nerve and muscle gathering and other vital body functions to fuel physical activity.
