Helpful Anger

I really can't stand sickness. I have a strong hate for all things unhealthy. I have been this way for all of my life. I can recall getting upset at "fat" and "junk food" and "illnesses" even as early as 10 years old. My mom used to say "You don't like fat". Yes, I have struggled with the same things that I hate so much but I have a strong desire to fight against these issues. I'd stand up for anyone who struggles in this area as I have for so long. I personally feel that we as Americans are heading down the wrong track as it relates to health and nutrition. A lot of things that the media says is great for us and great for our bodies is not. WE ARE DYING BY THE MILLIONS!!!From cancer and heart disease and diabetes....just because we don't have the time to wait for a good quality product. Manufacturers want to make as much money as they can. They dont care if what we are eating and doing is driving us to an early grave. THEY DON'T CARE! It drives me bonkers. We eat crap all of our lives; never exercise and then when disease sets in the doctors hand us a pill that only mask the real root of the problem. I was watching a commercial. This guy was getting major heart burn from eating his favorite foods (pizza, hot dogs..etc.) Another guy hands him a product to relieve his heart burn, and he went right back to eating that junk. What kind of message is that? The heart burn means that your body is trying to send a message. Reduce the consumption of the junk...don't mask it with a pill...Maybe I'm crazy. I think we need to listen to our bodies, not try to find ways to make it shut-up

My aunt is still holding on. I am going to see her again this weekend. I have to miss yet another bunco game and the Firecracker 5k for St. Jude.  I was really looking forward to both, but family is first.

Still slowly reading my John Maxwell book and today's reading focused on strategic planning. I love to plan. I usually make my meal plans every Sunday. Now I want to plan for more than just a week. I am working on making a plan for two weeks....then three weeks...then maybe even be organized enough to make a plan for the month.  Boy I am really jumping subjects today..Oh well...try to follow along..I'll write later.
