I posted this on facebook today: Listening to people complain about the rising cost of healthcare at their place of work, yet when the conversation leads to the fact that 60-80% of dr. visits that contribute to the rising cost are due to personal actions they get up and leave the meeting hmmmm.... I don't really care what side of the "health care reform" argument I'm on but if there is something I can do (exercise) or not do (put down the doughnut) to improve my health or prevent taking medications, sign me up!
I'm curious if I'll get a completely different response in comments on there than if I post it on here or DM? :-) I know health care reform is a touchy subject but why don't we at least try to control what we can that's all I'm saying not trying to get political.
So I looked at some of the new layouts for blogger and I liked some of them but it seems like it takes away some features like does anyone know how someone would choose to follow you (not that I really have this problem but just in case) it doesn't seem to give you the option to add "widgets" on that one or I wanted to change the color of my Blog title so that it would show up with the new background I had picked but I couldn't do it under the new version. Just putting this out there in case anyone has some insider tips I'm not aware of?
Yesterday I went for a run with the dog trying to get her prepped for a doggy dash and doddle but I can't use my running leash because it goes past 6 feet. This will be a very interesting run. I tripped over her at least 4 times and almost got my arm ripped off twice when she tried to stay behind sniffing or standing on her back legs trying to check out where the barking was coming from (behind the fence). My mom practiced riding my commuter bike for this weekends Day of the Tread that we will be doing with the whole fam. I'm so proud of my mom she can lift weights right there next to Mr. Macho Heavy Grunting Scary Dude and not get fazed, she goes to spin class with me and tries her best, she will jog/walk a 5k just to be able to do it with me and she can hike trails with her friend in the mountains like you wouldn't believe! I'm so glad I learned good habits from my parents! They are also celebrating their 36th anniversary this weekend! Congrats Mom and Dad!!!! I will be making them an eggplant lasagna for dinner that night.

How cool is your mom??? I think that is awesome!! I am trying to get my daughter to do a 5K with me (reverse roll from you - haha) but she's 20 and hasn't found an interest yet. Not sure she will. I get tired of just shopping with her - haha.
I don't think we're FB friends, are we? Find me, if interested: Jill Andre Parker. :)
Your mom rocks!! Spin class!!
Have a great weekend
Very cool to have your mom bike with you. And I can't wait for the Doggy Dash race report =)
Happy Anniversary to your parents!
Your mom is WAY COOL. Happy anniversary to your rents!
I agree with you on controlling what we can by putting down donuts and picking up a weight and working out!
