Bad habits. Eating. Drinking. Smoking. Shopping. The different bad habits are numerous. I will be honest, some of you may not be happy with me after reading today's post. Despise me even. I am presenting you with a challenge on behalf of your family and friends. Will YOU rise to the challenge?
On Labor Day morning most of us enjoyed sleeping in just a little more. But, nearly 240 challenged themselves in a 10km (about 6 miles) race in Alliance, Ohio. David was one of those challengers. We are very proud of him! He set a goal for himself to start running again and he stuck with it! Since moving to Houston, he has lost 30 pounds by changing his diet and exercising! His loss is inspiring! His ispiration was our dear daughter, Kathryn. To be healthier for her. To live longer for her. He came in at number 39 in the race! Wow! Here's our number 115 before the race!
His reasons are enough of a reason for me to challenge myself, also. Most of us have bad habits that could be eliminated with effort and willpower. Some of the smallest reasons that we need to improve our lifestyles sit right at our own dinner tables. 30% of Americans are obese. U.S. Obesity Trends from 1985 thru 2008 are shocking.
My challenge to you...what BAD habit will YOU break? AND who means enough to you in your life to impact your decision?
Thanks so much for visiting and remember to ALWAYS enjoy your own life's wild ride!
As a first time dad at his age, that's a good choice and reason ;-) lol
ReplyDeleteHe does look great. As for my 'bad habits'...mine keeps me sane right now. I'm not a drinker and don't eat a ton of junk food or pop. I'm happy in my life, my marriage and my self. Life is good. Bad habit, or no bad habit.
Way to go Dave! My mom was so happy you guys visited her when you were in town. She misses you all! She told the fam that David looked great and he does!!! Congratulations!

Had a bad habit, smoking...not much but enough to want to quit and did that over 35 years ago. Don't drink much only socially. Do like junk food I admit but working on that. Resolution to walk more and drive less even this coming winter. Always felt better when I walked so that would be my NEW GOOD HABIT I will work on.
