What great visual perspectives! I am so happy and relieved to say that I am not the same person I was years ago where I would rather turn to a can or bottle of soda wherever I could purchase it or request it rather than a bottle of water. The old me adored Orange Soda, Grape soda, Lemon Lime Soda at any time and at any day but the older I got, the more aware I have become that indeed we ARE what we EAT and DRINK!
Seeing these photos reinforces and validates my reasons to avoid drinking Soda 7 days a week! Now I am done to once a month or none at all until the next family occasion. And I am even smacking my head saying DOH! (like Homer Simpson!) for slipping on two occasions; giving in to the option of soda pop at a barbeque and children’s party. But I am proud to say that Soda is no longer a natural option for me at home or when I am out and about on my own; and these photos above only help seal my reasons why. And that is to avoid living a Diabetic Lifestyle because my grandmother suffered from the complications of it and my mother is working on controlling it and I am not interested in following suit.
~~~ I wish you and your loved ones the best of Health! ~~~

Wise words in this text:
“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” – Edward Stanley, Earl of Derby 1873
“Don’t put off for tomorrow what you could do today” – Thomas Jefferson (1700s)

139 years ago, in 1873, Edward Stanley, the earl of Derby wrote
“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.”
Wow. Can these words be anymore clearer?
What will it take for us all to heed of those words?
It’s been over a hundred and thirty years since these words were expressed yet many of us continue to wait until it hurts; many us continue to wait until we’ve been diagnosed with a disease; in order for us to start exercising consistently.
Many of us are waiting until someone embarrasses us or waiting until we embarrass ourselves. (please understand this is not to offend)
Waiting until we try 10 different outfits in the fitting room only to find nothing.
Waiting until your doctor diagnoses you with diabetes or high blood pressure and prescribes prescription pills.
Waiting until your knees and back aches because of the added weight.
Waiting until you feel extremely lonely and can’t find love because of low self esteem…
The truth is inevitable.
If we do not find time for exericise it is inevitable that we will have to make time for bodily illness.
You have a choice to make right now.
Would you rather suffer from the time it takes to exercise consistently for at least 30 minutes 3 to 5x a week or put it off for 20 years later when you finally suffer from a preventable illness?

Choose Fitness First!
The time is NOW to take heed of Edward Stanley’s words and exercise.
If you are sitting here with 15-30 mins to spare after this
Plug in your Fitness DVD and do a light workout NOW.
Search for a 15-30 workout through your cable network NOW.
Schedule a workout with your personal trainer NOW.
Go to the gym in your hotel or condo NOW.
Your life, 10-20 years from now, depends on it. I wouldn’t want you to hear these words from your doctor: “You need to exercise.”
Words expressed after discovering signs of diabetes and high blood pressure which all can lead to heart disease.
My Grandmother died due to complications from obesity and if I can help in any way; I hope this helps motivate you to prevent the preventable right NOW.
~~ With Love ~~
