Luna Moms Club: Moms With a Mission; Get Out!

Get Outside www.pureprevention.org/act_getoutside.php Exercise can help protect against breast cancer and many other negative health outcomes. Physical activity reduces your exposures to certain ovarian hormones. Exercise with weights helps build muscle and reduce body fat, lowering your level of circulating estrogen. Lower levels of ovarian hormones and circulating estrogen both decrease your breast cancer risk.  Through annual outdoor physical challenges, the Breast Cancer Fund enables breast cancer survivors and supporters to find strength through adversity and make strides to eliminate the environmental causes of breast cancer. For more informatio n on this once in a lifetime experience go to Climb Against the Odds at www.breastcancerfund.org/climb.

SafeKids Needs You!

Don’t forget SafeKids & Stroller Strides mama, Tracy- need you!

If you are free this Sunday from 10-12 or 11-1 and want to hang out in the sweet sunshine please email Tracy or Beth!

We are looking for a few good moms to help take a helmet survey at AZ Snowbowl! You will get a $10 lunch stipend (which buys a lot of hot cocoa & cheese fries) and be helping out a great cause. Just think, your volunteer hours for the month, done!

I’ll be there, so if anyone wants to carpool, just let me know!

Happy February!!!

(Lily, Feb 3rd 2009)

I cannot believe it’s already the 2nd month of 2010! February is always a good month to sit back & look at what you did in the 1st month of a new year.

Are you still going strong on your resolutions?

Have you started to slack?

Do you want to “tweak” your goals?

Sit down for a minute, take some time for YOU and really explore what you’ve been doing the past 30 days. If you’re proud of yourself & on track to achieving your goals- treat yourself! If you need a nice swift kick in the rear to get back on track- ask someone to give it to you (if you can’t do it for yourself) I’ll volunteer for that job! Have you realized your goals are totally unreasonable? Make them SMARTer (I can help with that too).

Bottom line- it’s not too late!!! Take the time now to evaluate what you’ve been doing, what you like & what you want to change. You can do it!!

Stroller Strides Flagstaff is here to help- our Feb. specials include:

- $20.10 registration fee (thru 2/10)

- Refer 2 new friends to class & get a FREE Stroller Strides water bottle!

Hope to see you at the Dome!
