Let your kids select the vegetables they want as pizza toppings.

Think ahead to stock up on the staples you'll need.

Buy a variety so you don't get bored. I store my bread products in the freezer so they stay fresh for longer.

It's all about creating an environment conducive to what you want to do. We shouldn't rely on will-power to help us reach our goal.

We started with a goal of building 100 boxes. There were about 10 kids who really got into it. They came in after school to work on it. There were another 40 or so kids who helped. They weren't as active, but their work added up.

For our kids, it's a lot. For new racers coming in, it's relatively inexpensive to get started. At the level our kids are at, they probably each have about $4,000 worth of equipment. There's bikes, protective gear, uniforms, that kind of stuff. Then we also have a trailer and a lot of tools and stuff.
