I Dare You
Photograph by modomatic
Vegetables and fruit - now there is an expletive for you. Dirty words. Bad words, especially when you do not have a diet full of them. You end up like me, on the rug with yet another cold. And gosh, darn it, it is all my fault. I have been “too busy” to eat well these last few days and my diet has lacked the essentials to keep my immune system in shining-knight mode; the mode where that knight fights against contamination of the evil yucks.
Please do not mistake this for a complaint. I am totally to blame and I do know better. But I share it with you because I am human. Living in ones head is not always helpful. And today I am blogging from the comfort of pillows, blankets and bed, which means a low key work day for me.
With that in mind, I am working on my upcoming weight loss group support system that will be in full-swing in January. We will meet monthly, but I have been considering sources of support that would be more consistent for those who spend a great deal of their lives online. Sure I could creates forums and such, but why recreate the wheel?
Therefore I will share some of the resources I am suggesting. One is a site called LIVESTRONG.COM. It is much like a standard social networking site, but it is all about having and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and runs like a support group. Basically it uses the “dare” principle - daring each other to maintain healthy habits. You accept or create a dare and report on it as you go. The site also includes things like a Body Mass Index calculator, calorie counter, and food journals. It basically allows you to track your progress. The site is through Demand Media and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Maybe…just maybe I will put the dare out there for more intake of vegetables and fruits (when I am up to getting out of bed and traveling to a store).

Awesome post
There’s nothing like being lean and healthy. In today’s world, we have toworkout occasionnaly and get rid off our unhealthy diet habits. It’s not that hard. You only need to stick to a diet program and continue until you reach your objectives.
Thanks for sharing this with your readers.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
