Fighting Words
I am fighting old habits and traditions, weekend celebrations with ice cream and movies with popcorn. I'm fighting my own idea that stress needs to be medicated with comfort food. I'm fighting putting other things above my health. Things like getting my classroom ready for another school year, and spending time with grandkids before school starts again. I'm fighting good things. Today when I woke up I remembered my fighting words: First, Fight, Flee, Forward, Forever! I must always put my health first! The first fighting word is first! My health has to come first! Last night little Sam spent the night with me. We went to the gym and ran around the track. He had to always beat grandma. I got ahead of him a couple of times and he ran through the weight room to the other side! (the little cheater) The ladies on the treadmills were laughing at us, but we were running faster than they were and having more fun too. Today we are going back to the gym first thing as soon as he wakes up. He's learning to put his health first and I'm still getting to spend quality time with him. I'm fighting for my life! I know that my life is worth living, and I want to live it fully alive! So I will continue to fight by putting my health first, and the cool thing is the litttle people around me just might learn from my example! Let's all do what we know to do today and put our health first. Ok, he's awake! We're going to the gym! Have a great day!
