It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle.

Change one little thing at a time.

Just pick one thing! Stick with it. Then pick another.

I am older than you, and when you ask is it worth it? It is.

But, you need to change your mind set. Being a better, healthier you, is not a
drudgery, it's a challenge! Game ON!

I have personal reasons for taking on this challenge.

My boys, one is a State Trooper and SWAT sniper, health nut, other son, coaches, high school and jr, high sports. Hub and I have physically demanding professions.

My volunteer, give back to the community thing is, I keep stats for my coach sons football team. Dang, I have to run, sometimes, granted it's 8 man football, so 80 yards, but I still need to be keeping an eye on the players, while I'm running, so I can count the stats!

I can sled, play at the beach, what ever with my grand kids and keep up.

But, the cold hard, reality is this.

My 74 year old mother is in a skilled nursing facility, because, she chose, to not care.

She is in the home, with her 98 year old mother, who to this day, still cares about how she treats her body.

I'm not real sure, who my sisters and I are going to bury first.:?:

Now is it worth it?

Hi Shcirerf,
Glad to hear you reached your goal. I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I have severe disk degeneration in my neck. When I exercise it flares up so bad I have to take Percocets for the pain. When I don't exercise I can get by mostly without anything at all. I feel great at the gym for an hour then I can't function for a week. I laughed when I read about your Mom and Grandma. I get being healthy, but if we just end up in a retirement home healthy or unhealthy that kind of sucks? But I get your point. Thanks

Hi Palestrina,
I think your right about LC. I'm glad you've found what works for you. That's pretty cool. Have a nice day.
