I love Marco’s. Nick and I used to get their cannelloni and spicy sausage pizza. Today we had a house specialty – hot spaghetti. I adore this stuff. Andy and Kelly weren’t impressed, but I don’t care :p The pizza has a thin crust and is priced well below other local pizza places.

Happy #36 – Make the decision to be happy.

Any luck I had at the beginning of the year decided to poop out on me a few weeks too soon. I applied for a housing program where I would be able to live in a new construction home with 25% of the cost given to me. Yes. That’s K in my hands. Unfortunately, it was a lottery and my name was picked one person too late.

A few months ago we found out my dad has prostate cancer. He took it really hard and is still working through it. Fortunately they caught it really early so he has a very high chance of winning the battle. He’s been doing radiation for a couple weeks now.

And yet… I’m not all too upset. Getting a house was not my plan at the beginning of the year. I wanted to travel. The deal was too good to pass up. And now, I’m still living with my parents and am saving up for either a house or for traveling. I want to go to Korea for sure, but I also want to move out of this place! Either way, good things will come of it. And for my dad, I was concerned and still am, but seeing him being so positive about it lifts my spirits. He’s very lucky and my whole family is aware of that.

I think my luck gave me the chance to see things in an optimistic way. Although I know my luck is gone, I can still find the good in most things and hope for the best. I hope if something falls through now, something better will come along later. Being happy is not something that just happens. You have to have the right mindset and understand that it is a choice.

I also know that you can’t always be happy. It’s not natural, and it’s not healthy. See: Happy #33 – Accept that you can’t be happy all the time.

mmm, "Steak-and-Walnut Casserole"! and I had no idea there was such an ingredient as "frozen cream-of-shrimp soup." I do like avocado salads, though (recipe continues on next page if you need it)

Dance Your Health Out
healthy food choices

Christiana Care hosted women from across New Castle County, Del., for an evening designed to inspire attendees to improve their health through exercise and smart nutrition choices.

Combining dance, fun and education, the first ever Dance Your Health Out event, held at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, provided free Zumba instruction, healthy food preparation demonstrations and health screenings to more than 200 women.

Attendees took part in a 50-minute Zumba workout led by instructor Davi Mozie that had them dancing, clapping and moving to the music. Zumba combines Latin and international rhythms with a fun, aerobics-style workout. The group included women of all ages—from teenagers to a woman in her 90s—with varying movement abilities, including “newbies” and skilled dancers.

Christiana Care employee Cindy Noble was one of the more experienced dancers in attendance, having lost 47 pounds in the past year thanks to Zumba and an improved diet. She was impressed by the number of first-time dancers at Dance Your Health Out.

“Every time I would turn around just to see what was going on in the room, I was amazed at the volume of people who were there dancing and into it,” Noble said. “People kept coming onto the floor, and they weren’t intimidated.”

“I think the group was exceptionally energetic,” commented Mozie. “When we got started I really didn’t think they would be able to last. We ended up going 10 minutes longer than we had planned because the group just didn’t want to stop. It was great.”

Others took advantage of the free health screenings available throughout the evening. Staff from Christiana Care’s Imaging Services and Center for Heart & Vascular Health assessed attendees’ risk for bone and heart disease, while members of Christiana Care’s Department of Family & Community Medicine calculated body-mass index and provided body-fat analyses.

Following Zumba, Jenn Barr, with Christiana Care’s Center for Community Health, conducted a healthy-cooking demonstration. Attendees sampled low-calorie dinner options provided by caterer Food for Thought and learned about the importance of nutrition in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

A post-event survey of attendees offered insight about the effectiveness of the inaugural event. More than 97 percent of respondents said they were motivated to eat healthier and increase their physical activity.

The event was a collaboration of several departments within Christiana Care, including: Women’s Health Services; the Center for Heart & Vascular Health; Family & Community Medicine, Center for Community Health; Food and Nutrition Services; Imaging Services; Preventive Medicine & Rehabilitation Institute’s Food & Nutrition Services; Employee Health; and Volunteer Services.
