Reality.....part 2

It's been awhile since I have written, and lots of things are happening in the world, the country and our city. People are getting all fired up about the pending election......

All I have to say, is that you better be healthy now...because if Obamacare continues and we keep our current president, say bye bye to access to healthcare. I said to ACCESS. The care will be there....but someone else will decide WHEN you get your treatment/test/meds...

So, again, reality...I see in the news that Michael Clark Duncan has died, at age 54...he was a great actor, playing John Coffey in the movie the Green Mile. He will be missed, he had such a great smile and he could act too. :)

Now, this gentleman, an african american (politically correct) was 54 yrs old, had a heart attack about 6 weeks ago and this eventually led to his death, premature. He had recently became a vegetarian, and changed his lifestyle. But still, he passed on. 

I am curious, as to the why? They aren't telling us he had risk factors, but you could see he did. He was black, he was large, (muscular, but large), he had high BP near the time he died, but had also been active for his most of his life, you just don't have that type of muscle tone without exercise....maybe he didn't do cardio..

ANYWAY, my point is you can't see the things going on in your body...Things we do it, eating bad food, eating too much, drinking alcohol, soda, processed food, Can you afford to wait until this happens and then hope that you recover? Should you just do what you want, eat what you want, weight what you want and be unhealthy because really, it may change the date you die and the way you die, but still, you and me and everyone else will die. 

So why bother?? Why do I exercise and eat right? Ultimately i am going to die, that is the circle of life....

It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of energy, and money too. 

This is a great question. 

Why not eat the tasty food, that is grease laden, why not laze around on the couch, because we can, why not  

just eat candy all day.....

For me, because I want to live LONGER, i want to be able to climb that mountain ...i want to get on my bike and ride...I want to run a 5 k anytime.....maybe more....and if I do the first option, I will not have the body, the mind or spirit to do the active things. If I become overweight and out of shape, I won't be able to climb that mountain, or enjoy the times when I am retired, and no longer have to go to work everyday.

Yep, I am going to die at some point, but until then I am going to LIVE the heck out of this body. I am going to slide into the casket, all worn out...because I AM WORTH IT!! There are no guarantees in this life....so go for it. Choose your future...choose to live or choose to BE ALIVE!!!
