TLC featured a special called Little People, Big World: Conquering Mount St. Helen. If you haven't seen any of the previous Little People, Big World episodes, the series features the Roloff family on their farm in Oregon. Matt and Amy Roloff are both little. Together they have raised a beautiful family consisting of four children: Jeremy, Zach (also little), Molly, and Jacob. Over the past year or so, I have been watching their show and witnessing this family do all kinds of amazing things from opening up their home/farm for pumpkin season and building a gorgeous wedding venue in their back yard (which really makes me wish I lived in Oregon so Thomas and I could get married there), to traveling through the Australian outback.
In a recent TLC special, Amy and Zach Roloff pushed themselves to their physical limits when they decided to climb Mount St. Helen. It took two days for Amy and Zach, along with Amy's personal trainer, to hike the 5 miles up the mountain. However, against all physical odds, the team accomplished another goal of Amy's.
If Amy Roloff can do this at age 50, why do so many people sit on the couch instead of challenging themselves to go out and get healthy?
I'm not saying anyone should go out and climb a mountain, but you should try something new in your journey to getting healthy. Try out that new class being offered at the gym, take a dance class, try the couch to 5K program everyone is buzzing about...do something! If the Roloff family has taught us anything it is that you can do anything you put your mind to no matter how big or small you are!
WAY TO GO AMY!
