Choices We Make

Choices!
Not only do we all make choices, we demand the right to make them. What if we make poor choices? I believe we live so much in the moment that we don’t really understand the impact of many of our choices.


Some choices, like “red shirt or blue shirt” are not earth shattering and regardless of which you chose your life remains virtually the same.
“Do you want fries with that?” on the surface would seem equally mundane and yet your answer might significantly’ impact your future.


Heart disease is considered a “lifestyle” disease. How we live, what we eat, the stress we are under, comprise 90% of the determination of whether we become part of that statistic in America.


Heart disease is the number one killer of women in America.Will a single order of fries kill you? No. What will is that Fast food as a way of life has permeated our daily pattern of living. It’s quick, it’s cheap, it’s convenient,… at least until the ambulance arrives a few years down the road. Believe me, rehab is not cheap, not convenient, and life-altering.


Chose foods that fuel a powerful life: Whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean, high quality proteins.


“Just Say No” works on more than teenage sex.
“No fries, thank you”
“What other sides are available with that lunch?”
“Please substitute a carrot raison salad or side salad”
“I’ll take it plain, thank you.”


Say these phrases and we'll give you a gold star, you got a fighting chance to avoid a future hospital stay, or worse.



Stay Motivated, move toward healthy living!
