All photography, writing, scrapbooking, painting, knitting, etc., can make one less than healthy. It's time to get moving!

My health partner and I are on a quest to build our health -- one day at a time -- together. I'm trying to do things in 10-15 minute increments - several times per day; not like a machine, pushing myself to my limits non-stop as I did in my youth.

Based on the "10 Keys To Healthy Aging", we are trying to change our futures through small successes . . . I've slipped -- these weights would have been EIGHT pounds, but I got off track and have to start small again.

If you are trying to get healthier too, why not join our "baby steps to health" challenge . . . what do you have to lose? Maybe a pound or an inch or two . . .

NOT AN INSPIRED PHOTO AT ALL . . . BUT I HOPE THE RESULTS MIGHT BE INSPIRED AND INSPIRING. LOL ("They say that I'm a dreamer, well I'm not the only one . . . " Lennon)

THIS PHOTO IS DEDICATED TO MY "ADOPTED" SISTER, LINDA - and me - together . . . also our commitment to discipline ourselves to improved health. We are taking the challenge . . . LET'S GO GIRL!!!

This is a hard one for me and linked to secret #9. I became obsessed with my weight and losing my baby fat, as a result I started exercising everyday (aquafit, boxing and aerobics) along with dieting.
I loved the results and started cutting down more and more on what I was eating. It ended up where all I was eating a day was a packet of these noodles, I was so pleased with the results I didn't even think anything of it. All that concerned me was the dial on the scales (even though my family had expressed their worries) The dial then started to go up even though I was getting smaller, it didn't even cross my mind that it would be muscle. I started to go swimming between classes and the result was I became ill. It started with tonsillitus(sp) which would clear up and return and it took this for me to realise how serious it had become.
I look back on pictures and can't believe how thin I was and luckily I became ill before it got to bad.
I do still diet and worry about my size (I am the biggest now I have ever been) but don't think I will let things get that bad again.

Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About." Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.
From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered "food products" – produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration – government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good – laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs – which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high – are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.
And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and – most importantly – potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.
So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored "nutrition" and "health," and learn about "Natural Cures 'THEY' Don't Want You To Know About."
