Reminder about improving the curve for the years we have

A friend of mine from work Kim, has recently run in a race where she did pretty good. What is really cool is the progress she has made since she started.
The road to fitness and health is what really helps us. It is more than losing 10 lbs. then stop. It is about the habits we form and our experiences along the way. It is about we take charge of the decisions we need to make and get the needed support. If we add a few years and round off the curve we will have a better quality of life and shorter time of decline at the end of our lives.
Read Dr. Ken Cooper for the numbers of how the curve works. I believe it is true that we can do the right things and still experience a bad outcome. I know I have felt better walking and changing diet and still I have had problems with insomnia and post traumatic stress. Others have battled heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Walking and lifestyle changes help our battle. For many others the changes have help prevent these diseases and have given us more time. Taking on the battle is better than ignoring it or living in fear of it.
Take in a deep breathe and enjoy the view. Go for a walk, enjoy an apple. "Today is the day the Lord has made,
rejoice!"
Well I am off for a walk in the woods. Keep walking
