I think ...Thank you for making me think about this. I think I did alright as far as exercise. My kids walked the dog with me, and we did 2 miles. We laughed at our efforts to do the Richard Simmons workouts. Those were ridiculous, but so funny. If we were at the pool or the lake, I was in the water with them. But food choices were really lacking. I wasn't trying to be unhealthy, I just didn't have a clue as to what that was. I thought a dinner of lasagna with salad and garlic bread was a healthy meal. We didn't drink sodas, we drank sweet tea instead. Southerners don't have a real good idea of what healthy food looks like. But thanks to the internet my kids have been able to overcome my bad example. They all exercise and eat very well. My grandson is a 5 year old severe hemophiliac who has only had 8 or 9 spontaneous bleeds in his life. Last spring Hemophilia of Georgia asked my son if he would let the CDC do a study of Jack to determine why he has so few bleeds. The only thing they could come up with is that his regular diet that includes meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy and nuts and berries with little processed foods has made his veins strong enough to tear less easily. Shit got real for us when we got those results. This is the way the whole family needs to eat.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-22094517482634679712013-10-04T08:31:04.616-04:002013-10-04T08:31:04.616-04:00I experienced this when we moved closer to town. ...I experienced this when we moved closer to town. <br />And I witnessed this to a more extreme when we went to Europe.<br />You will hardly see people in Europe "exercising" as we do in America. BUT- they are constantly moving, walking to market, biking, carrying food home from market- GOOD food. <br />Made me want to start a gym called "euro fit" - wait! No:-)elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696241309160847537noreply@blogger.com
