LIVESTRONG Indeed

As far as I'm concerned, the Lance Armstrong Foundation can basically do no wrong. I deeply admire how Lance has embraced his survivorship and committed himself to helping others through their cancer journeys. Now, the LAF has launched LIVESTRONG.com, a health, fitness and lifestyle site.

This site is fantastic! It includes a variety of articles on every topic you can imagine. You can register with the site to engage in its online community, set goals (or, as they call them, "dares") for yourself, and track your progress. The Dares include everything from "Drink more water" to "Spend time with family" to "Complete a triathalon."

There is also a section called "The Daily Plate" which offers nutritional information for specific foods, an online food diary, and interactive feedback. So cool!

So while this site (and thus, this post) is not directly cancer-related, I am all for *free* resources that help you, as my friend Sarah says (courtesy of Oprah), "live your best life." This is the one shot we get, and this is the one body we get, so we need to pamper ourselves in health, life, and love.
