When I was growing up Wheaties was known by their advertising slogan, “Wheaties Breakfast of Champions!”  To my knowledge a basset hound was never pictured on one of the boxes of their cereal.  The image you see was created to advertise an event titled: Breakfast with the Bassets.  The graphic caught my attention because it used the sentence “Making Healthy Choices.”  This spoke to me because I am in two-pronged campaign in improve my health.  The first new activity is exercise.  I have joined a local gym and have an initial goal of using the tread mill three times a week for 30 minutes each time.  After I am comfortable with that regimen I expect to add other exercise activities to my routine.  The second new activity is healthier eating.  I love to eat desert!  Desert is not my friend when it has more than 100 calories per serving.  So I am seeking to eat deserts with 100 or fewer calories.  The two behavior changes I hope will make me healthier and allow me to lose some weight and also increase my body strength.  How will things go?   I can’t tell you now, but I do know it is up to me to make the changes I desire.
