There’s something about a permission slip.
I remember my days in school when bringing home a permission slip was a thing of excitement. It usually meant a cool field trip or new experience that was so out of the ordinary we needed a parent’s permission to participate in said adventure.
I would like to share some comments with you about a newfound (to me) sport. I was asked if I play golf. Is golf a sport? I wasn’t sure.
My response was that when I want to dig a hole, I use a shovel. I must admit this sparked a lively conversation. When you see the following terms: bogey, birdie, condor, and eagle, what do you think about? At first, I was thinking about wildlife.
People might think I’m a little odd. Not, like, Steve Urkel odd (child of the ’80s here; however, I don’t look good in suspenders), but I like to think more “unique.” I do things that make good stories. Because, why not?
I’m not just “different” because I went to (and subsequently graduated from) Missouri Auction School during Spring Break my senior year of college. It isn’t that I wore duct tape to senior prom in high school (it was for a scholarship contest… don’t judge. And yes, we rocked it). My uniqueness doesn’t come from my love of inky pens and journals or my affinity for analogies.
It’s finally February, and you may be no closer to getting started on your fitness journey. Maybe you don’t have a plan and you’re frustrated. The best solution is to get back to the basics.
Before you start, you have to decide on how to approach a program to start walking, running, or exercising in general.
Welcome to the New Year! Each year, many of us make resolutions to change something. Do you find that each year it’s the same resolution? What are you thinking of for 2018?

Take a few minutes to take make a realistic plan which is attainable. Write your plan out and track your progress. Let this be the year you see results.
Remember that health class lesson when they taught you it was acceptable to eat macaroni and cheese day and night like there is no tomorrow? Yeah, me neither. But to me, cheese is its own food group, and it’s the best one!
As it turns out, my cute little cheese- and carb-loving habits were not so helpful to my health.
