(August 1st): I liked being out and around with my family and going to new places this summer. My favorite part was going to a lot of new parks and playing on all the new playgrounds. We tried to go to a new park as often as we could. I liked going after dinner until the stars came out, then we played with flashlights at the park. I like going out and doing stuff more after dinner, instead of staying home. I like the exercise. I also love Fruits and Veggies! …Amelia #MyHeartChallenge

Fish Lake Vacation, July 2016: We went to Fish Lake for vacation. We ate healthy foods for the entire trip. I got to pick and make one day’s worth of meals. I picked lots of fresh food to make everyone that tasted very wonderful in the mountains. I liked hiking and playing in the mountains. I fished at Fish Lake to. I did not miss the electronics and the TV at all. I played all day in the mountains. I love being in the mountains with my family….Amelia #MyHeartChallenge

(July 8th)The 5K twilight walk was a lot of fun. I walk fast the entire 5K. I walked with my Mom. I love being out and exercising at the park with my family. It was fun and I did it faster than I thought I would. That was my first 5K and I want to do more. I liked the little bottle of water and the Toy I won. It was a fun night. …Amelia #MyHeartChallenge

I went to a #MyHeartChallenge class this week and learned more about how to eat correct and the “My plate guide.” We made a large poster with healthy food that we like and a drawing of the “My plate guide.” I like these classes I take with my family. Also this week I started walking my puppies after dinner when it was not 100 degrees. I walked Calypso my chocolate lab. She loves to go on walks and I love taking her on walks. I also walked Compass my other dog a little. We are leash training both doggies. Compass was easier for me to walk. I try getting lots of steps and drinking lots of water with the MyHeartChallenge 🙂 …Amelia #MyHeartChallenge

This weekend I went camping with my dad and with my sister. We went on a daddy daughter camping trip for two nights. My favorite part was going on a long hike that I lead. We saw lots of birds and even a spider bench that scared me. I love the heart challenge because we are going outside more and I get to go camping with dad! I was also head cook and meal planner. I made sure we followed the “my plate” guidelines and we ate all of our fruits, veggies and grains while we were camping! I love to cook over a fire. Amelia : ) #MyHeartChallenge

Today I went to a My heart challenge kids class. I learned how to tell if you are too full or if you are still hungry. I enjoyed learning more about eating correct. The teachers explained the “How full are you hunger scale” So I understood it. The scale helps to tell you if you are “full”, “starving”, or ” Just Right” They wanted us to use this scale three times a week. I can do that! Lately, I have been playing for 60 minutes a day and eating better. To help me eat my veggies for dinner, I put them on my place first. Then I eat all of the veggies. Then I can have the rest of my dinner when my veggies are gone. I have been playing more with my toys and dolls instead of watching TV. I have also been playing with my dogs more….
