That’s What I Call Will Power

Posted by on May 7, 2012 in Skinny Tips & Quotes, Twinkie | Comments Off on That’s What I Call Will Power

More fun and totally random health related pictures. 1. My husband was given this candy bar for his birthday. He ate three pieces (one row), and had the candy bar sitting on his desk for weeks.

I know that they are both orange, but only one if a vegetable. Don’t get confused!   5. I love this.   6.

Cycling is a fun way to get your body moving. I remember when I was younger I could ride my bike for hours since I was just having fun, feeling the wind in my face, and viewing the scenery. Back then, I didn’t realize that riding my bike (cycling) was actually good for me and that I was exercising. Health benefits Cycling is good for you for several reasons.
