Have you been watching the Olympics?
For the past two weeks, many of us have been faithfully watching TV every night, mesmerized by world-class athletes who have devoted their lives to this competition.
Yesterday, I was also an Olympic champ – of sorts.
I went to my weekly water aerobics class (a new activity for me), and the instructor had come up with her own version of the Olympic games – encapsulated into an hour of fun in the pool.
Using various poolside equipment, we pretended to ‘run’ a triathlon, ‘bike’, play water polo, jump hurdles, walk the balance beam, throw a javelin and even pair up for synchronized swimming.
Which wasn’t all that synchronized, to be perfectly honest.
But that wasn’t the point.
The point was to have fun.
Which we did, complete with medals handed out at the end for our efforts.
This got me to thinking.
Even though I’m not really an Olympic athlete – not even close – I do have a somewhat Olympic attitude towards my choices about diet and the gluten-free lifestyle.
And there’s no reason you can’t have that too!
What do I mean by an “Olympic attitude”?
