It has been a busy couple of weeks as we continued to spread our word of health and wellness to families around Australia. We have been presenting workshops about Please Mum, Don’t SuperSize Me! at many venues including libraries with the most recent at Bowen Library Maroubra and Dymocks George Street Sydney, where we demonstrated ways to make fruit and healthy food fun for kids.
On Thursday 27th March we featured on the “Susie” TV show WIN (as above), talking about some healthier alternatives for school lunchboxes and family pizza movie nights!
Yesterday we travelled to Coffs Harbour where we met some great families at our instore appearance Dymocks bookstore Coffs Harbour. It’s great to be able to meet many families who are keen to make a difference with healthy daily lifestyle habits. If you want to keep your momentum going or need some motivation to get started and get healthy, we have a “FREE Thought Of The Week” which can help, where we email every week a health and wellness tip straight to your inbox.

“It seems these days that we’re eating more food and doing less exercise than in the past.” the Hon Christopher Pyne MP, Federal Member for Sturt mentioned yesterday as he launched our book Please Mum, Don’t Supersize Me! in Adelaide. Christopher spoke to the children at Gilles Plains Primary School Adelaide, about the importance of healthy eating and an active lifestyle.“The good thing about having local schools and local shops is that rather than getting in your car and driving to the shops you can walk or ride a bike, and in doing so, get some exercise as well as your shopping.” He continued “This new book Please Mum, Don’t Supersize Me!, is all about what we need to eat, the things I’ve talked about are encouraging physical activity, but an essential part of the equation is food and eating… and I’m pleased to declare the book launched.” After officially launching the book we all joined in for some fun games of parachute with the kids. Check out all the pictures below.
We started the week in Melbourne where you may have heard us on radio shows or at our workshop at Dymocks bookstore Collins Street Melbourne, followed by Dymocks City bookstore Brisbane. This week we will be heading to Adelaide and on Tuesday 11th March you can come join us at Dymocks bookstore North Park 2pm where you can ask us any questions you have about children’s health and our book Please Mum, Don’t Supersize Me!
Today we officially launched our book “Please Mum, Don’t Supersize Me!” with The Hon. Pat Farmer MP - Shadow Minister for Youth and Sport.
At a primary school in Sydney NSW, Pat Farmer shared with the kids some of the important factors of living a healthy life everyday which includes eating healthy foods and exercising. One child shared with us her thoughts of health ”It’s all about balance!”, which is exactly true. Your daily lifestyle habits are about balancing your energy in (food) with energy out (exercise) which is discussed our book www.pleasemumdontsupersizeme.com. After chatting to the kids about healthy eating and living, we presented some of our books to the Deputy Principial for their school library and enjoyed a few musical games with the kids.
Check out the pictures below and the video above (as seen on Channel 10 news) from the launch -It was a great morning!
Yesterday morning we woke early before the sun had risen to head to the radio studios of popular Sydney radio station Mix 106.5fm, where the hosts Sonia Kruger and Todd McKenny interviewed us about family health and “Please Mum, Don’t Supersize Me!”.
Being Valentines Day in Australia - February 14th, we thought we would take Sonia, Todd and the Mix 106.5 crew something to help brighten and start their Valentine’s Day! Being early morning we thought some breakfast snacks would be good! And obviously being Valentines Day many people like to give the traditional chocolates or flowers, but not us! We couldn’t possibly give them chocolates at 6 o’clock in the morning…
So, with chocolates way out of the question, we opted for a healthy basket of fresh fruit -with mangoes, pineapple, paw paw, nectarines, peaches, apricots, bananas and more. Plus we thought that fruit was a better breakfast than chocolates! We hope that all the Valentines received something special from their loved ones.
Happy Valentines Day to all in USA today! We hope you have a fantastic day
Recently we have been working with some Aussie families educating them about the importance of being active and living a healthy lifestyle together as a family every day.
We believe it is of importance that parents educate their children in their home environment they live, about healthy eating and exercise. It is the environment that you live and who you live with, that will make all the difference to the lifestyle habits you develop as a child. If you educate your children that an afternoon snack is a piece of fruit and have fruit readily accessible around the house such as on the kitchen bench in a bowl, they will grow up with this positive health message as a child and naturally pass this habit to their children.
With the rising concerns of Childhood obesity, it is important for families to start working together as a team and practice healthy eating and exercise habits on a daily basis. It is not about dieting, it is about a lifestyle change. Start implementing healthy choices into your life today. Start to be more active, get outside and play games with your kids. Kids will look up to mum and dad as role models and if a parent is role modelling healthy eating and healthy exercise habits in the home their kids will want to live a healthy lifestyle too.
It is what you teach at home today which can effect the lifestyle habits of your children and your children’s children!
