Unknown.</blockquote><br /> Essential to living a sane life: proper perspective about our problems.<br /><br />Most people would rather have a pity party than a victory party.<br /><br />Ten pounds in 2 1/2 weeks and I feel great. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Weight Watchers">Weight Watchers</a> and an hour workout six times a week. <span style="background-color: white;">I've lost my mind, you say? No, I've found it. </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Mrs. Grace Adkins, our 85 year old learning lab coordinator at the school, started riding her bike an hour a day, six days a week back in January and has de-aged at least 15 years. She looks great and her mind is sharp and totals 120 miles a week. She's 85 and makes no excuses. What's my problem?</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />My problem was making excuses instead of taking care of business. If this body I inhabit isn't my business then nothing else is. Knee problems aside, I can do something for an hour a day six days a week: walk, turtle jog (my very slow form of running since I hurt my knee), yard work, pilates, treadmill, play Wii fit. If an 85 year old can do it, I have no excuse at all for my decision to be sedentary. Let me ask you, if this 43 year old can do it, what is your excuse?<br /><br />I choose the victory party not the pity party. How about you?<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Helen Keller">Helen Keller</a></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">"It is never too late to be what you might have been." <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Eliot" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="George Eliot">George Eliot</a> </blockquote>I'm committed to living a good life, are you? <br /><br /><div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/?px" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_c.png?x-id=e5c80a5a-d01e-4281-8fdc-073bf3b15ffb" style="border: none; float: right;" /></a></div>
