Every mom is hopefully her kids’ best support—which can feel even more special if it comes full circle.
My son Daniel inspired me to commit to Choose You. Since he’s thousands of miles away studying abroad, I didn’t think of asking him to be my official support—but he’s taken on that role without realizing it.
At first he was all sweetness—as in….suggesting I eat less sugar.
For the past few weeks, I’ve cut way down on my chocolate consumption. In fact I would advise selling any stock you own in any companies that sell chocolate—sales will be way down this quarter.
When I reported this success to Daniel during a call on Skype, he didn’t miss a beat. He’s moving on—and now he’s annoying asking me about what I’m doing to get moving, too.
Though he knows I take regular walks by the beach, he’s been bugging encouraging me to step it up.
So about a week ago I promised I’d add some more strenuous cardio—and I’ve been thinking about actually doing it. ….also thinking back on all these years and everything I’ve done.
I realized I’ve gone all the way from A—-aerobics classes at the original Jane Fonda’s Workout to Y—-yoga. And I can almost see the end from here….
Tonight: Zumba!

After becoming a writer, artist, TV journalist, mother and breast cancer survivor----I realize nothing turns out the way we expect. So I blog about handling the big and little things — with humor, humanity, and hope.
I found your posting really funny – oops – useful! It is hard to cut down on sugar. I find myself dreaming about it sometimes. ::sigh:: You are doing a good thing.
Thank u, glad u are enjoying my challenge. Yes it is hard to cut down on sugar. I wish I could say I just DREAM about it.
