Thousand Word Thursday: Supporting No. 115

Cheaper Than Therapy

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!
