Many adults I know who take the responsibility get attention from kids who are struggling and looking for role models. So true.

The kids in our family will pick at fruit and veggies after school with no problem at all because its something we all do. I am also happy to report that my niece who is 14 and over-weight already has begun going to the gym on her own from seeing that myself and her other aunt do this every night. It is so important that we "model" for the kids around us! Jim I love this! The kids in our family will pick at fruit and veggies after school with no problem at all because its something we all do.

You bring up an interesting topic. At the first signs of gum disease green tea can prove itself to be very useful. While the classic symptoms can be difficult to detect at first, increased teeth sensitivity, chronic bad breath you can’t get rid of with normal methods, and bleeding gums are all things to look out for. Many experts recommend drinking a hot cup of green tea after every meal to cut down on plaque build up and cleanse the teeth and gums. While you are waiting for the first available dental appointment, take a preemptive strike against the gum disease by adding this after dinner treat to your routine. - Tina Nice write-up!

I know I have huge time constraints on me, but I make myself workout, even when I don't want to, as I know it will make me feel better. Sometimes, with NO time, I just do pushups, lunges and the plank so that at least I feel as if I have done something. Jim Sara:

I said it would be easier to stay in top condition when you have the kind of financial resources that those top celebrities do. Did you see the Diane Sawyer feature on Oprah last week? They showed her bringing her homemade lunch to work, but they also showed a trainer showing up at her office, mat and equipment in hand, for her personal workout. She turned him away because she was too busy, and ultimately said she hadn't been working out for a while. Yes, we all have choices, but it's still not apples and apples to compare top-earning celebs with regular folk. I didn’t say that wealth guarantees fitness and health.
