“Okay, I have just realized EVERYONE I know is on some kind of workout kick, new diet plan, marathon training or engaged in some kind of healthier living plan. Where is everyone (but me!) finding this sudden burst of motivation? Lol”
This was a question I posed I Facebook when I came to the understanding everyone I know is getting healthy. In case you are not on fb (or for some reason are not my friend …fyi you should be if you are not) I thought you might get a kick out of the responses.
Jill wrote: Mine came from getting on the scale after having a baby and realizing that Elliot did NOT weigh 50 lbs at birth…rut ro.
Chad: They will phase out.
Shelia: It’s the economy! Gas prices increasing daily, means higher prices at the grocery, therefore new budgets are created daily! It’s cheaper to eat and get fit at home! Just sayin’! LOL
Denise: I can’t find it either =(
Jill: fruits and veggies are cheaper than processed foods and eating in restaurants…
Tricia : My hubby is diabetic and one of my coworkers has just been put on insulin shots. I’m also sick of the way I look and am ready for a drastic change.
Pam: Spring makes us think of summer and summer = bathing suits and then I said, oh crap!
I responded: I have been trying to buy more organic natural stuff for the kids, good start right? Then I find myself at a drive thru! grr. And yes, summer is closer than we think.
Paul: l Hey, round is a shape. And oval.
Mandy: You can do it Karen! Come to the dark side with me!
Francisco: I figured out why I’m fat. The shampoo I use says, “for extra body.” I should use Dawn dish washing soap. It says, “Dissolves fat that is difficult to remove.”
I wrote: lol Paul and Francisco! Too funny! And Mandy each week you post your weight loss I wish I started when you did!
Paul: I wish y’all wouldn’t lose that weight. Some of us keep finding it.
Steve: Don’t wanna die young of a heart attack Karen! LoL! The spectre of death is great motivation!
Rob: I’m with you, Karen! The only exercise I see is the walk to and from the fridge!
Tim: Count on me to join your support group! We can all meet at the mall in the mornings and watch the mall walkers. We should be able to see them from the food court.
Debbie: Just start something and do it 5 days a week. Each time you will feel soooooo much better and continue too each day.. xoxoo
Becky: Oh no NOT EVERYONE ! I dont exercise and I ‘ve been sneaking my daughters valentine candy all week LOL of course I’ve gained a few pounds but there’s been too many good B-Ball games to watch to go work out and soon it will be time to do yard work so it evens out in the end
Suzanne: I’m trying to get going so I can keep up with all my tennis teammates who are 5 – 8 years younger than me. Spend all my spare time driving to and from Christian Brothers HS and taking the mom-in-law to all her doctors appointments that my butt has taken on the shape of my car seat!
Glen: I am now on the “Try to get your big butt out of the chair” work out plan! Followed by a brisk walk to the fridge then to the Pantry and back to the chair!
Janet: Um, not me….
Philip: Didn’t you watch Sunday morning on CBS. We are the generation determined not to get old:)
Cindy: If you find it, share it w/ me. I’ll do the same for you. My exercise is emptying the dishwasher and doing laundry and walking to your side of the building.
So, those were the many responses. What is a girl to do? Jump on the band wagon or keep making bad food choices and remain in denial. I will blog very soon on what I decide.
