Goals Goals and more Goals


We NEED to have Goals. If you think you have reached the pinnacle of your fit self, make a new one. Make a resolution to eat only organic for 1 month. Try nix'ing out sodium for a couple weeks. Flush your system out by drinking 1 gallon of water each day. There are always improvements when it comes to healthy eating, so know that even if you look like AHnold Schwarzenager (pre GOHVENAH days) you might not be as healthy on the inside. Let's not forget about our family and friends! Passing the word of health and fitness is just as important. Consider these factoids:

USA Obesity Rates Reach Epidemic Proportions
58 Million Overweight; 40 Million Obese; 3 Million morbidly Obese
Eight out of 10 over 25's Overweight
78% of Americans not meeting basic activity level recommendations
25% completely Sedentary
76% increase in Type II diabetes in adults 30-40 yrs old since 1990

These could be your children. Your parents. Your cousins. Friends. People you love..whoever it is, needs to know if YOU know. Spread the news.
