Aging.

This doesn't fully have to do with losing weight but I do have a point to my mental madness!!  As I have gotten older I think about aging a lot.  Every year that passes gives me a little more anxiety.  Older family members are dying and turning gray.  Death and dying has become a in my face reality.  I see wrinkles forming around my eyes and areas sagging that I would love to be perky and pristine!  I hear about kids younger than me dying and it makes me think about life and how it could come to an end in a second.  My kids are growing and changing on a daily basis. Noelle is becoming a teenager with boy crushes, attitude, and physical developments (so scary).  Ani is a true toddler always up to no good making me have mini heart attacks multiple times a day.  Life is flying by and it's hard to catch up!  I see my parents and grandparents aging and that is one of the most difficult to see.  I find myself counting how many more years the ones I love will be alive.  If you all haven't realized I have a bit of anxiety (don't judge me!) LOL. My mind runs a million miles an hour.  I guess the point of all this gibberish is stay healthy!  One of the best things you can do for yourself and the ones you love is to eat healthy and to exercise.  Take care of your body in every way possible to prolong your life. We all want to age gracefully and live a long life right?!  All of this is not a guaranteed life saver but every little bit helps!!  Be that healthy parent and role model. Pat yourself on the back and be proud of every step in the right direction to a healthy lifestyle you have made!!
