Um… it’s Polly here and you are not going to believe what I just saw. I’m not sure I believe it myself! I was hanging out in the park, swinging on a tire swing, when I looked up and saw Booger strolling through the park. At first I thought my eyes must be deceiving me because Booger never walks anywhere. He barely leaves his house except to go to school. So I did a double take and sure enough, – it WAS Booger. I figured he must have found a short cut through the park to the arcade or the ice cream shop or something. So I called over and said hi and asked him where he was going. And he told me… he was going for a walk. I was certain I must have heard him wrong so I asked where he was walking to. And then he said he was JUST going for a walk. HUH???? Okay – now I’m worried. I’m pretty sure that aliens have invaded Kinzville and taken over Booger’s body. There can’t be any other logical explanation, can there?

  It’s not hard to occasionally let your willpower slip when you’re trying to change your lifestyle – sometimes you just don’t feel like getting up off the couch, or that chocolate bar is just too tempting to pass up. One thing that can really help you reach your goals is creating a support system by recruiting your friends to join you in a healthy living club. You’ll be less likely to skip that bike ride when you know one of your friends is waiting outside for you. And when you feel the need to give into a fast food craving, just pick up the phone and call a friend. And when you get together, you know no one is going to pull out a big bag of chips if you’ve all committed to the same goal. So invite your friends to support you in your efforts. Everything’s easier when you’ve got someone backing you up!
