Things that make you go hmmm…

A few things happened on the weekend which made me think. Nothing too scientific but I wanted to share a few of them with you today…

-Hilary Duff’s “Someone’s watching over me” came on a while back (don’t ask and don’t judge) and it instantly brought me back to a darker episode in my life. It did make me smile since I came out of it stronger but also that song played often in those days and it made me see the light at the end of the tunnel..

Why am I getting more free stuff now?

-I always found it funny poor folks have to beg or pay for everything while rich(er) folks get free swag bags at every event they attend. Now that I’m getting more established I’m getting more and more offers for complimentary products or services. But I can actually afford them now. Funny stuff!

Are obese folks aware of what they do and eat?

-I’m not poking fun at obese folks since I’m obese according to my Wii. It just makes me wonder when they keep going to McDonald’s for super-sized meals or buying  Twinkies and Coke at the grocery store. In this day and age there is a lot of great info out there to help out just about anyone. I guess it reinforces my belief that the bigger gab is not between knowing and not knowing, it’s between knowing and acting…

What makes you go hmmm these days?

Are you thinking of trying barefoot running? Here is a great article from NPR Books about what to do, not to do and what to expect.

New York Times columnist and runner Gretchen Reynolds shares her experience. And talks about her new book at the same time. Shocking!
