It's federal Election Day. For months now I have been privy to political posts of my friends and lawn signs of my neighbours. I found it eye opening to learn who has opposing views to mine and often I was irritated. How stupid could these people be? Do they not read small print? Are they sheep? Are they interested in me unfriending them? ....

But truth be told: HOW EFFN AWESOME is it that we live in a country where we can voice a differing opinion? How incredibly lucky am I to have friends who are interested in how we are governed? 

Regardless of the voting outcome there has been discussion. There has been passion. There has been thought (maybe ;) ). 

So what the heck does this have to do with health and fitness? Everything. YOU get to choose. YOU get to decide how you fuel your body.  You get to decide where, when, how you make it sweat. You get to wear whatever blows your skirt up (if you choose to wear a skirt), because YOU are privileged enough to live where 'exercise' and 'diet' can be something you worry about. 

Take advantage. 

Be your own health and fitness coach. 

Nobody's vote on your body is counted. 

Happy Election Day my lovelies. 

Stay happy & healthy
