MAD

MAD.......

I hope that this time of the year finds everyone filled with joy and blessings with friends and family! It is so awesome we get to celebrate our Saviors birth!! Everybody just seems to be in a slightly better mood for one reason or another as well. Really and truly this is a time to count our blessings, think about how many things we have to be thankful for, and how we can impact somebody else! Sometimes it takes us the opportunity to serve others who are less fortunate to really understand all that we have and have to offer other people. I write this because it was on my heart that whether it be this season or not, what are we doing to make a difference?

MAD stands for making a difference!! I'm sure some of you were just interested in reading this because it had MAD at the top!! lol I probably would have done the same.

Many of us think that we don't have an opportunity or the ability to make a difference! However, I'm going to show you that in the health and fitness realm, how much you have to offer other people, especially the ones around you! Get ready to receive the mindset of changing generations. When you make a conscience decision to become more healthy and fit not only do you benefit from it, but your family and friends around you do! How awesome is that!! When someone is changing their life and takes eating healthy and exercising seriously others around them see the difference. You become an inspiration and spokesperson to a healthy lifestyle. Just think about, how many families are left fatherless because of heart attacks? How many women are infertile because of obesity? How many people spend hundreds of dollars a month on blood pressure medication? I could go on and on. But, when you have influence on your family and your friends who have families think about how much you can do to advocate healthy lifestyle decisions. Unfortunately Oklahoma has the highest obesity rate in the United States!!! What are we doing to make a difference?

You can make a difference though by deciding to change yourself and then helping others see the difference. Maybe you get MAD and encourage a friend to go to the gym with you? Maybe you get MAD and learn to cook differently for your family? Maybe you get MAD and have your kids do physical activity and chores instead of video games. This is so serious guys!!! You can make a huge difference by changing daily decisions. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for your family. Usually obesity tendencies are passed down from generation to generation. It is time to step up and put your foot down to letting days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months before you do something!! The time is now. I believe in you and know that the generations to come will see a difference because of commitments and decisions that were made this very day.

So enjoy this season, invite somebody to work out, research some healthy recipes, and ultimately make a difference!!
It starts with us! Love you guys!
