A friend of the blog forwarded me this article from CNN. It’s the weight-loss story of a young man who, after years of alienation as a 300+ pound teen, found his own way to healthy living.
No fake food, no magic-bullet diet, no gastric-bypass surgery … just hard work, good research and honest commitment to getting better. I wish I had put in that kind of effort at his age. He worked at it – slowly, steadily. And he’s kept it off.
I’m writing this brief post to celebrate people doing things the right way. I can take a lesson from this kid. Maybe you can as well.

Another friend of the blog offers some advice about multi-tasking exercise. She says goes for a walk around her neighborhood with each of her kids – individually – as often as possible. She ends up getting more than an hour of exercise, and each kid gets alone-time with mom … which is invaluable. The Sprightly Daughters are still a bit young for me to use that one yet, but I’ll sure try to use it in a few years.
Your suggestions are always welcome – thanks for reading!
