HEALTH, WELLNESS AND FITNESS FOR FEELING FINE by Bill Mottice
The new year has started and some of us have
thoughts about what I should or could do to make this
year a better and more healthy one. To be successful
there has to be a new mind set and determination, but
many will have the same old mind set . I should, I could
but it takes time and I sweat and I get tired etc,
etc. Well lets start with the fact that we as a whole are
the fattest nation on earth and getting worse.
The saddest fact of all is that in 2013 the American
Medical Association declared Obesity a disease along
with Heart, Cancer, and Diabetes. It also noted that it
in some cases obesity was the cause or aided in the devel-
opment of the other major diseases. It also was the cost-
liest of all. They thought that this would raise awareness
of the situation and cause people to react in a positive
way to conquer it.
The exact opposite has happened. People just ac-
cepted it with a shrug of their shoulders saying "there is
nothing I can do about it so if I get too big I will just get
a pill or buy one of those DIET programs everybody is
selling".
For those that wish to change lets start with our fear
of facing all those machines in the fitness center or using
that as our excuse not to try. For those that use just one
lets try the rest. Do not let them scare you as they are
user friendly with an emphasis on user. There are three
types of cardio machines and weight machines that have
instructions on how to use them. For those that are used
to individual machines our machines can do almost any
thing that your machines in the gyms back home.
Lets self examine. Does your belt get hidden in your
waistline? Do your arms flap in the breeze? Do you
puff after walking up a couple of stairs and are your legs
getting so weak that you have trouble getting up off of
the floor? As I noted in last months column, the Har-
vard Medical School has declared EXERCISE as the
best medicine of all . Its a New Year so let's have a new
start by walking to the fitness center and taking your
medicine. It tastes good and there are many of us that
will help you. It also helps keep you from getting out of
bed multiple times each night.
So come to the party, the fitness party that is. P.S.
Tossing and turning in bed at night does not count as
exercise.
Sunset Cocktails White Elephant Party
Wednesday January 7, 2015
Look around! Have you found the perfect
White Elephant for the exchange on Wednesday,
January 7, 2015. Our annual White Elephant gift
exchange will be held during the second hour of the
regular Sunset Cocktail hour on the first Wednes-
day in January at the clubhouse. Bring a wrapped
gift, something useful which you no longer need/
want, along with an appetizer to share and your liq-
uid refreshment and join the fun. A couple could
bring two packages and each make a choice of a
wrapped gift. We hop for some unique items to add
to the fun. We hope to see you there!
Mah Jongg
Mah Jongg is scheduled at the club house on
Monday and Thursday's from 1 - 4 PM. All Bay
Forest players are welcomed.
Mah Jongg lessons will be given in February
if we have at least 4 or 5 people interested in learn-
ing this ancient Chinese Tile game. We give two in-
struction periods of about an hour long. Then you
will play the game with the “newbies” for several
weeks during the regular MahJongg sessions at the
clubhouse. You join the regulars as your learn. The
game is always challenging, but fun! Call Jackie at

PROSPERO ANO NUEVO
May all of you Bay Foresters have a “Prosperous New
Year”. Isn’t amazing how various phrases of many lan-
guages are universally understood? During our Friday
get-togethers at the Clubhouse Conference Room, we

“Tropic -Topic”
The maintenance crew have finished lowering the 4th
bocce ball court and now all 4 courts are ready for play.
We have leveled them the best we can. There will be
some additional leveling as the league’s start playing.
For those who do not know, the tennis courts are closed
every day at 12:30 pm for watering and re-opens at
1:30. Please be sure the courts are broomed and
striped before the irrigation comes on so they are ready
for play after they are dry. Some days depending on the
weather, the courts may take some additional time to
dry. If the courts seem too wet and you are making foot
trails please stop play. Please pass this on to your
guests and renters. Thank you!
Happy New Year to All from the Bay Forest Mainte-
nance staff.
