Hey everyone!! Time for this country to wake up!!  We are killing ourselves and our children with overeating.  The subject of childhood obesity has been seriously weighing on my mind lately.  I live in the south now but I am a transplant from northern California.  I am overwelmed everyday by the amount of obesity in this country and especially our children.  We are headed for a HUGE health care crisis if we do not change.  I was watching my 6 year old sons baseball game and there is one child who could not run the bases because he was so fat, in fact another kid behind him past him by (I love little kids sports!).  I then noticed the rest of his siblings the oldest 14–all morbidly obese.  They were playing around a little then one boy had an asthma attack.  If we dont help our kids they are doomed to type II diabetes, degenerative joint disease, peripheral vascular disease, heart disease etc etc.  The ecomonic and social ramifications will be astronomical.  This is part of the reason I am taking this fitness journey, because I love my kids.  I want to be a good example for them and I want them to be healthy and live long productive lives.  We can not become complacent on this issue.

 Ok, sorry about the ranting but I had to get that out there!  I am staying focused on exercise and nutrition–the rest will come!  Time for some new pictures on my website–just have to get the courage up to take them!  Hope everyone “stays strong”
