Hi, Erin

Very nice post.

I would observe that, for not being a "health expert", you have certainly created an expert list of things we ought to be doing to keep ourselves at a healthy level.   You nailed it:)

I remember as a very junior Army officer being told to model healthy habits, because part of my leadership role was to show others how to live in productive and effective ways.  With a few slips along the way (Cheetos, Crunch &amp; Munch, and soda), I have tried to continue living that creed.

As others have pointed out, good health is not selfish or a time-waster.  Rather, it may be one of the most important investments we make of our time, money, and energy.

Thanks for a great reminder - I am now dumping the candy bar I was eating and will switch to carrots ASAP:)
