Thoughts on Week 5

HALF WAY THERE!!!! WHOOHOO!!! How are you guys holding up? Man, 5 weeks down and just 5 to go. Can you believe we're half way done? Anyone interested in doing another one when we're done? :) Haha! I think I can guess who's a go and who isn't... :P

Hopefully you noticed the mid-competition changes to the blog. New background and new motivational pictures. All to make you smile!

Anyway, last week I talked a bit about who's in charge of you. YOU! This week I wanted to touch on our reasons for health.

When I read magazines, listen to the radio and watch the news I am bombarded daily with health care stuff. The future of our health care {no matter what the decision} can be quite scary. In the end we're putting our health and our future into other people's hands. And like I said, really, WE are the ones responsible for our health.

That means to me that I have the power to fight cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and all kinds of other things, just by living healthy! By watching what I eat, indulging only occasionally, exercising regularly, I can live longer, healthier and really overall, happier! Like I said a few weeks ago, when I am plagued by something in my body, something as small as a headache even, it wrecks me. That small pain takes over at times. Not fun at all. But I have the know-how and the power to keep these dangerous, life-threatening diseases and ailments at bay.

And on a final note, I thought I'd post a little motivational message from my son. Just to make you smile!
