Want to lose weight for free? No supplements needed, no drugs required, take a walk. With the economy deteriorating fast we are all looking for things to do that are free. Unemployment is up, prices are up, about the only thing going down are our pensions and 401K’s.

Now is the time to make a decision. We can either watch CNBC all day as the analysts try to explain why we have to shoulder the burden of the bad decisions of Wall Street and pay the multi-million dollar salaries of the already rich CEO’s who have destroyed their companies or we can take this time to get in shape.

I have to confess that I have been obsessed with the economy. After spending the last couple of weeks focused on nothing else and slowly sinking into a very blue mood I have decided to take the time to get back on track with a healthy life style and try to lose a little weight in the process. After all the most expensive life style is the sedentary life style since it is the life style most likely to result in health problems. Since I have to buy my own health insurance it is worth it to me to try to avoid doctors and hospitals. I have very little faith that my health insurance company will cover anything without a fight.
