Halloween sure has changed

I am just begining to realize how much things have changed from when I was a kid. For instance Halloween is completly different than I remember when I was growing up.
Back then you went trick or treating with your friends or family. The parents were not always there because you trusted everyone in your neighborhood. Now I am learning how much we have evolved. One of the guys I work with is having a trick of drunk party. Now maybe I am a little sheltered but I had no idea what that was until he explained it. Basically they have candy for the kids and a keg for the parents so while your kids are getting candy you can grab a beer. How crazy is that! Although the concept is really smart I do not know if I would give liquor to people I do not know. Another girl I work with says last year on their block people would rent a hay rack and drop the kids off at one end of block and then meet them at the other end. And of course on a hay rack ride what do you have. Liquor! It is just very odd to think about.
Well to everyone who celebrates Happy Halloween. Be safe

Where did you go?

In the past 4 years I have become increasingly aware of my health. I am by nature the healthiest person. I don't like vegtables or salad. I tend to eat whatever strikes my fancy and not look at calories or suggested servings. In the past 10 years I have gained weight and I will admit that I need to work on eating healthy and excercising. It was not until 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS that this reality was slammed in the face and then last year when being told I was resistant to insulin which can be the precursor to Diabetes. So this past week I made a decision to try and eat healthier. I have bought fruit which my goal is to eat 2 of a day and eat my grilled chicken than Hamburger Helper. One of the big motivators I see is The Dr. Oz show on ABC. If you have never watched it I highly recommend it. He does a great job not putting you down but wanting everyone to be more aware of their health and small things we can do to improve it.
My goal is in the next 6 months to eat better and start to work out. I think purchasing a WII will help this because I have Wii Fit with no Wii to play it on :(
I will try to blog about my progress not to mention whatever else is on my mind.
Pray for me!!
