Childhood obesity or excess weight threatens the healthy future of one third of American children. We spend $150 billion every year to treat obesity-related conditions, and that number is growing.

Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, a trend that means, for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents.

We need to get moving. Join First Lady Michelle Obama, community leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses, moms and dads in a nationwide campaign to tackle the challenge of childhood obesity. 

Let’s Move! has an ambitious but important goal: to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.

  1. Leave a note of the direction and path of your run with a friend or family member.
  2. NEVER wear a headset. You need your ears to listen to your surroundings. Especially your back.
  3. Run with a partner.  A dog is great idea!
  4. Have several running patterns, run on lite paths, and avoid secluded and unpopulated areas.
  5. Trust your intuition.
  6. Carry identification that includes your name, address, phone number, etc
  7. If you run at night, wear reflective clothing. This allows drivers to see you.
  8.  Run against traffic so you can see the approaching vehicles.
  9. If possible carry your cell phone with you in case of an emergency.

 

My 2010 New Year’s Weight & Health Goal (s)

My goal for 2010 is to increase my muscle mass. Here is what I’ve been doing for the past few days to acheive my goal.

I’ve started jogging around my neighborhood for about 10 minutes twice a week.  I think this will alert my body that a change will be happening, soon.  Then during my favorite TV show, I work on my legs and arms by doing push ups and leg raises. At this point, I am only doing as many as I can so not to shock or hurt  my body.  My breaks during the workout would last as long as the commercials.  To top everything off, I’ve been eating boiled rice, meats, and since it’s  been hot lately, grilled vegetables.

What are your goals and how are you preparing to accomplish it?

Do you think that President Obama jeans made him look slimmer.  Are you wearing the jeans that you want to wear or are still rocking those jeans that come above your navel?
