Fit Links: Your fitness memoir
As fabulous as we at That's Fit think this blog is, the truth is there are hundreds of wonderful blogs on healthy living to be seen all over the blogosphere. So in this feature, Fit Links, we'll introduce you to some that have caught our eye.We all have something that motivates us. When you can whittle those feelings of inspiration and motivation down into a short, uplifting phrase, it becomes a motto or a mantra that moves you when you just don't feel like moving. Nike knew this when they developed their "Just Do It" campaign. Those three little words say so much.
Fat Man Unleashed recently wrote his three-word memoir, Be About It. For him, those three words symbolize action and accountability -- in life, but especially in fitness and health. He then "tagged" several of his readers to come up with their own short memoirs about life, fitness, and health and they're pretty interesting:
- Nutrition Fitness Life: "The best is yet to come."
- Weight Ladder: "Happy, healthy, wealthy, wise."
- Go Workout Mom: "Ask, Seek, Give: Love living life!"

Ha! Mine would involve chocolate covered peanuts, which is why I haven't written it.
Thanks for commenting!

Striving to be unlike my mother.
I know, that sounds really awful, but what has prompted me to change my habits in the last few years has largely been watching my own mother, who doesn't eat any real food, doesn't get any exercise, has always - as long as I can remember - had trouble getting up and down if she tried to sit on the floor. Now, she's going to have to go on insulin (I'm surprised she's avoided it this long), has too many health problems to count. She's turning 60 this year. I won't trust her babysitting my sons, because she just can't move fast enough to stop them if they start doing something dangerous.
So, yeah, many of my health and fitness goals are direct responses to trying to NOT be like my own mother.
