Physical Health
Eat Well
Eating well doesn't have to mean restricting yourself, having to go without any 'fun' foods, or eating the same thing every meal.

Be Active
It's a lot more interesting and motivating to do workouts that you enjoy; are you enjoying your current exercise regimen? If not, why not try something new?

Let's move!
This work out is fast paced and it will leave you sweaty and feeling good. And, maybe, you won't want to do any jacks for a while.
Each block is 4 exercises that you will do in rapid succession with no breaks. You'll repeat each block 4 times with a one minute rest before the next block. Put on some good music and get it done!

Spiritual Health
Forgiveness is a huge part of spiritual (and mental and emotional) health because without it, blame and anger crush your ability to be positive. Forgiveness is important, not just for other people but for yourself, too.

Mental & Emotional Health

Social Health
You love your kids, right? You love hearing from them (in person and via phones). But do they love hearing from you? How do we get them to respond when we reach out?

I don't know what it is about lockers but I know my boys would rather drag their crap around all day (and here it really is up and down the hill the school sits on) than use the lockers. These bags are so heavy!
