I'm doing 34 things
I have cancelled. The money spent is not a motivation, so I am buying some home exercise equipment with the money i’d have spent at the gym. Plus, I have enogh gyms in my immediate area to string together months of trial memberships and free visits.New plan- work out at home, in some way, everyday. Take more walks. Jump rope. Do yoga.
But, I am going to try to accomplish this goal one more time before the membership runs out.

It is shocking, really, that in a country as wealthy as this , so many people are without health insurance or affordable health care. I could go on and on about all the reasons why this is terrible social policy but I won’t. In our current political culture, only the rich “deserve” good health and if you don’t have money, you just don’t matter. I hope this changes soon but I’m not betting on it. Our politicians and government cater to big business and the wealthy, and sacrifice the health of the vast majority of Americans.
