Special to Truckers and others. Find the Mayor of your city with a diet program

Special to Truckers who wish to diet for better health, strength and looks
Also:
Find the Mayor of your City and see if he or she is sponsoring a weight loss program.

This may surprise most of you because truckers, especially long haul truckers, have a macho image of being fit, trim and athletic. Indeed, truckers are all of those things but as time goes on many get out of shape. Lots of factors enter into it amongst which are stress, long lonely hours behind the wheel, stops where food choices aren't the healthiest and being tired after a strenuous long day of driving and delivering heavy loads.

That's why I have been preparing a special Trucker's Edition of "The Brown Bag Diet - " Tips & Clues from the Pharmacist's Notebook". I will put that edition on a special blog for truckers only if I receive enough interest for me to work on another blog.

If you are interested or if a friend or family member is a trucker and would benefit from this material please have them contact me by email at Brownbagdiet@gmail.com and let me know that they would like to have a special trucker's edition for the blog.

Remember, there is no charge to sign in and learn the techniques of the Brown Bag Diet. If there are enough requests I'll be glad to oblige.

Other news: A search of the internet reveals that the Mayors of many cities have also joined us in challenging their constituents to join a weight loss program and get into better shape physically. Some of them began their challenges before Jan 1 this year and others just signed on. You might like to see if the mayor of your city is one of them. If not, contact them and let them know that they can recommend our blog as a free site where their constituents can get tips and clues to help then achieve weight loss.

Some of the links to challenge programs recommended by many mayors are below.

More than 2,600 people registered in Oklahoma City mayor's weight loss campaign. See links below.
