W. A. L. K.(walkers alway looks kool)!
Walking is a safe and enjoyable activity for almost everyone! Walking is an energy booster. It makes your heart stronger, decreases body fat, uplifts mood and relieves tension, all of which equals more energy for work and play. You'll feel after your walk and see that it lasts longer than a candy bar! Walking can lessen daily anxiety, improve self-esteem and increase your sense of well being. When you feel tense, depressed and unable to think clearly, take a good uplifting walk. Many of history's great thinkers and creators were dedicated daily walkers. Brisk walking is a terrific fat buster. I found out that one of the ways to lose weight is to decrease my food intake(not cut out my food intake!) and increasing physical activity. I found out that walking for forty-five minutes a day four days a week for a year can result in an eighteen pound loss if I don't eat more!! Walking is an excellent form of aerobic exercise; it improves your body's ability to use oxygen and helps strengthen your heart. Studies show that a stronger heart lessens the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and high blood pressure. Walking is one of the most popular physical activities in the U.S. So whatever the age, it's safe, inexpensive, enjoyable way to get fit or stay fit and improving your overall health and quality of life! So get ready, get set, walk! Don't forget about the water it does the body GOOD!!! And remember walker always looks kool!!

Prayer is the key
I have found that prayer is the key to every situation that comes up in my life. There have many and probably will be many more. But I know that if I am going to pray, then I shouldn't worry and if I am going to worry, then I shouldn't pray! Prayer and worry don't go together!There have been many times like the song says I laid awake at night worrying about different things but it got me nowhere. I have now learn to give it to God and trust Him to work it out. Even though sometimes He don't always work it out like I want, I fully trust Him. Because He can see what is ahead of me. As a little girl I have always talk to God, cause even though I had eight more siblings I have always felt alone. At the age of ten I remember praying to God to make my mother better. She was in a terrible car accident where she had both arms and a leg broke,and her teeth cut her tongue in half. Some thought that she was not going to make it but God bless her and she got better! I don't how I knew to pray to God for things that I wanted I never ask anyone to give me anything! I remember somebody saying that prayer is the key to the kingdom and faith unlock the door! This one of the prayers that I pray often: Thank you God that you intend for all people no matter what their weight- to be happy and to rejoice in the gift of life. I know that being a bigger than what my body was made to carry causes all kind of health problems. I want to to take to heart these truths, Lord. Help me to think correctly about my weight and my eating habits and to always make matters of the heart a priority. I pray for all those that are horizontally challenge and the ones that has not made healthy eating a priority yet. And those that feel shunned or unloved, who are unhappy even miserable because of there weight. Send us all help Lord. Help us to find our way to freedom! Thank You that you love me no matter what and with your help we can learn to eat and live in a way that pleases You.
