Healthier LIving...




I’m watching the recorded Bellator Middle Weight Tournament on MTV2. They’re having a few good fights.

Yesterday, Saturday morning, my wife and I took our three older children to a program at North Division High School. The program is focused on getting youth to make healthy eating choices and to get them exercising. The program is through Milwaukee Recreational Program. The head of the program is a professional Boxer named Alberto. Alberto trains at the Union Community Center (UCC) here in Milwaukee.

The program runs for six weeks and they meet once each week on Saturdays from 9 am-to-12 PM. There needs to be many more programs focused on getting youth to make healthier eating choices and to get them physically active. I appreciate this opportunity to get my children to think about a healthier we of living. Alberto told the parents that it’s important for parents to be examples to their children and reinforce making a healthier environment at home.



My wife and I try to keep our children in physically active programs because she and I struggle with our weight and we have made an unhealthy culture in our home. This program has cause us to look in the mirror and think about changing our lives and our family culture.
