Challenging the Sand Dune

Sometimes in this pursuit of the Fountain of Youth you feel like you're trying to climb a sand dune. You take two steps up and slide one step back. And you dodge land mines in the form of food and drink temptations every day. Most days you make good choices. Some days you slip up, big time. The good part is, you get a new chance the next day. You start with a clean slate. You have a good breakfast of shredded wheat, a banana, blueberries, Greek yogurt and cinnamon topped with skim milk and are one-third of the way to a healthy day.

The important thing is, when you slide back, don't get too discouraged. Keep going. The view from the top of the sand dune, I'm told, is magnificent.
