I am a testament to the fact that some where down the line, I learned to hate exercise.  Not only do I have a pre-disposition when it comes to being over-weight, I learned early on that exercise was for those who couldn’t follow the rules and that fun and games were reserved for those who made good grades academically. 

Even though I was athletic, I still hated the very idea of exercising.  And, as I’ve mentioned many times before, our First Lady, Michelle Obama is going to be  trend setter.  You don’t go around in sleeveless shirts when your arms look like mine.  But, when you have guns like Mrs. Obama, then definitely find a way to flaunt them.

And now, Mrs. Obama is joining in efforts to help fight what she calls an epidemic and refers to obesity as “one of the greatest threats to American’s health and economy”. 

Look for her to launch a major initiative next month regarding the problem of obesity in children.  What is she looking to accomplish here? “To put in place common-sense initiatives and solutions that empower families and communities to make healthy decisions for their kids”.

Wow!  that’s impressive.  Let’s hope it works out…for all of us.
