Something just came to mind and I would like to share and maybe get some thoughts on this: before I start - I AM NOT WHINING, I just need to count my blessing more. We hear in the media, social network,book stores and other public resources on health and wellness. I am facilitating a cooking class,informational session for those who has type 2 diabetes such as myself. WHY IS IT that a person has to be getting incentive$$$$$$$ in order to come and participate.You have to get paid for something that is FREE. things that make you go hummmmm!!! I know they talk about chronic illness and childhood obesity but its hard to get things when you live in the HOOD or it was not taught in the HOOD or you could not access things because it was not in the HOOD or there is limited income therefore only can shop in the HOOD or cannot afford proper health care due to limited health places in the HOOD or transportation is limited due to limited income and live you in the HOOD or no farmers markets due to not having enough participation from the residents in the HOOD . enough of that - We as a community and beyond should want to come freely to educate,motivate and participate in something that we can hold on for life due to no one can take knowledge away from us. We need to teach our children early so when they grow up they can continue the crusade of the prevention of chronic illness and childhood obesity. I struggle everyday with ALL THAT and EVERYTHING ELSE!!! so I can talk due to I walk that walk and I try to be a positive influence - thats why I am Chef in the HOOD. I am about to under go total knee replacement and I am not feeling it but it will make me better than I can exercise like I should. I lived on the 3rd floor had to move to an apartment that was on the 1st floor due to knees,cannot use treadmill,bicycle due to knees, jump in and out of a truck,lift heavy stuff oh!! my knees, if I fall down I cannot get up - my knees. Not even hitting 60 but can see it oh!! my knees. therefore I will continue the quest of eating healthy(sometimes I cheat! spank me )posting colorful foods and in hope to influence those who read this to keep on keeping on trying to live a long and healthy life. Please come out and support me in my food demos(its free!!,healthy and you can eat)If I can reach out to one person I think Ive have done a whole lot- be true to your body,mind,soul and if you cannot exercise in a gym any movement is good(gardening,chasing kids, dog, or special other)I have a membership and I cannot use it the way I want, I cannot do water exercise due to the time I have surgery on knees it will be over. So I do movements, pop pain pills if necessary(do not like) just keeping it real what is your thought
