Decision 2010

I’m sure many of us went to polls to place our vote yesterday, Election Day. Whether you voted Republican, Democrat, or Independent - you had strong conviction about your DECISION. You elected the candidate that you felt would be best for you, your family and your future.

How about the daily decisions we face day to day- stairs or elevators, dressing or no dressing, gym or TV, buy those new pairs of shoes(red bottoms) or pay our rent(so, I heard), spend time with our loved ones or hang out with the boys, upgrade to the new 2010 Audi R8 coupe or drive your current car to the wheels fall off, invest in our 401K, buy gold bars or just simply put the money under our beds(1920s style), etc, etc. I’m sure you get the point.

Now, let’s consider the decisions that will affect the most important and invaluable aspect of our lives – our health.

Would you rather eat a chocolate chip cookie
OR
Make 6.4 trips up and down the stairs of the Statue of Liberty?


Would you rather eat a Nachos Bell Grande
OR
Walk leisurely for 3 hours and 13 minutes?


Would you rather eat a Burger King Chicken Sandwich
OR
32 minutes jumping rope AND running up and down the 108 steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum 7 times as Sylvester Stallone did in the movie Rocky??


How about eating only 1/3 of a white bagel
OR
Spend 41 minutes raking leaves??


Last but not least, you can have 3 itty-bitty Dunkin Donut holes
OR
Spend 21 minutes at a moderate pace on the StairMaster


Making the right choices TODAY, will greatly improve your future!!

Yours in health,
