In about a month all across this fine country people are going to start making special plans to lose weight and get fit. Unfortunately, 99.9% of those who have these thoughts will fail to reach their goals. Does it have to be this way? I guess the real question is, do you have to eat that pastry? Do you have to have two helpings? Is it really that painful to go for a walk? Do you want to live out the full number of your days or die out early? I know this sounds pretty confronting and may even hurt some peoples feelings but why? You walk around in the finest suit on the planet. Your body is so magnificent. The intricacies of your body are light years beyond today’s science.
Use it, see what you can get it to do. Did you know your body can run, jump rope, skip, squat, twist, swim, dance, ride a bike, walk on its hands and do flips?
Love your body!!!! You only get one and though some people do get organ transplants, trust me on this one you would rather not have to do that.
I understand, the taste buds are very convincing, the couch is comfortable and the TV is enticing. But lets be serious can you genuinely tell me, you would rather spend the first quarter of your life listening to your couch, watching TV or surfing the internet and eating without a thought of what it is doing to you internally, while spending the last three quarters seeing doctors, being diagnosed with diseases, and looking forward to your next blood test.
I want to inform you of one thing, this year could be totally different. News FLASH, you don’t have to wait until January 1, 2010. You can actually start this very second! You don’t need to read a book, talk to your doctor or devise an elaborate plan (not that these are bad).
Are you ready? This is all you need. When you go to the grocery store, walk straight to the produce area and refuse to go down the middle aisles. Yes, I said refuse! If you don’t go down the aisle it makes it very difficult to buy it. If you don’t buy it, it won’t be sitting in your cupboard and if it’s not in your cupboard, it makes it very difficult to get it into your tummy. When it comes to activity, all you need to do is do more today then you did yesterday and do this everyday. So if you walked from the fridge to the couch 10 times yesterday, then today you need to either walk 11 times or better yet you could take a lap around your house instead of to the fridge.
I dare you to go 1 week without walking down the middle aisles of the grocery store and simply stay on the exterior. If you take the dare please inform me how it went for you. Step out of your comfort zone today, so you can live in comfort tomorrow.
