What’s on your radar?

Do you remember the movie “The Rookie ” when Dennis Quaid is standing in front radar sign and he throws the fast ball to get the ball to register the mph of the ball. Well, I had one of those moments on one of my runs last week . My friend and I were running and we were determined to see if we could get the radar to go off. Now, I am not the biggest of people, so I wasn’t sure I could make it happen, but my training partner is about 100 pounds more than me and he was confident we could. So we started running faster and faster waving our arms and guess what happened – boom the number 7 popped up on the sign. I must say that was pretty cool.

If you’re wondering where this is going, I’m about to tell you. It got me thinking about what is on my radar. For instance, my upcoming race, my kids events, my family reunion….

Most of us have a reason why we exercise, try to eat right, etc. There are the typical;

• I need to lose this last 5 pounds
• I don’t want my arms to wave
• My thighs jiggle (come on, you know you have said it)
• I have my class reunion and I want to look really good

But, have you examined the bigger picture

• I want to live a long healthy life
• I have a family history of heart disease
• I am not at my ideal BMI
• I have no energy and I want more

We all know that our health and wellness is very important and we each take different steps to make sure we stay around for a long time. So what is on your radar? What number do you want to pop up on that sign? Is it a healthy weight? Is it a good blood pressure? Is it a healthy cholesterol number? Is it a race time?

Find the number you want and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
