Do Over!

Have you ever thought to yourself, if I could go back in time knowing what I know now, things would be different.  I was having that conversation with my kids, aka young ballers, at the gym one day.  I told them that if could go back and be a high school basketball player knowing what I currently know about what it takes to be successful, I'd be unstoppable!  What I was saying is that I would change some things.  Of course life doesn't work that way, and thankfully many of the lessons of the past help prepare us for the present, but how many of us wish we could do some things over?  As I was reflecting upon my weight loss journey, one of the things that I wish I could go back and do over is value my health a lot sooner.  Not just for the obvious reasons such as feeling better, but more importantly, for my mom.  For those of you that don't know, she battled congestive heart failure for many years and passed away in 2011.  Knowing what I now know, I wish I could go back and help her live a healthier lifestyle.  I know that if the Fitness Connection had existed years ago, that she would have been our Number One supporter!  Although I can't go back in the past and reach her, I can live in the present moment and try to impact and influence as many people as I can.  This is why I'm taking this 90 day challenge and my goal is to get as many of my family and friends to join me.  It's time that we obliterate obesity!   Listen, things can change, you can better your health.  If I can do it, so can you!  One of the best things about this challenge is that you will have all the support, encouragement, and motivation that you need.  Check out my website at www.michaeljones75.myvi.net.   Inbox me is you have any questions or would like to join the challenge.  Together we can do it!

PEACE!
