LAP Bonus Challenge Blog

Today the bonus challenge is to blog about something that motivates us. I have lots of motivating quotes that inspire me. I have lots of friends here at SP that motivate me. I have lots of songs that motivate me. But what motivates me most is my grandchildren. When my kids were young we played ball and raced and went camping. We went hiking and swimming and bike riding. I want to do the same with my grandchildren. The shape I was in I would get out of breath running around the yard with my grandson playing soccer. I ended up needing 2 surgeries in one year and decided enough was enough. My bp was out to lunch and it was time to get healthy again. So I started on this journey and I have enjoyed most of it. lol Today on someone elses blog I said you have to decide whether its food that will make you feel the best or if its a healthy working body that will make you happy. Do you really want that donut of do you want more breath, more self esteem, less pain and a lot more smiles? Thats what it all boils down to. So I'm exchanging the chips and fries and ribs for playing with my grandchildren. When I'm dancing at their weddings I'll be one happy woman and I'm sure I won't be thinking ... "Gee, I miss eating chips". So did I give up the junk food for my grandchildren? NOPE... I gave it up for me. So that I can play and run and ride and swim with the ones I have and the ones that are yet to come. Wearing smaller pants sure does motivate me a lot too!!! LOL
