Hopefully, in my lifetime I will see the day when no one has an excuse for why they do not take care of their body. Yes, we all will eventually leave this earth in some fashion. However, we can make our time worthy while we are alive. Since the 2013 halfway mark is coming up and if you are following protocol for your goals, then you have achieved or almost achieved:
1) For weight loss...about 30 lbs since New Year's Day if you have a big weight loss goal.
2) For nutrition...you cut out a lot of sugars, fats, and high
cholesterol foods. It might have cleansed your colon, which is why you
often walked to an isolated corner of the room. But, hey, you're
surviving. Yes, that was just typed.
3) For flexibility...you can touch your toes if you were a couple inches away since New Year's Day. However, if you are a couple of inches away right now, then think end of the summer or fall to touch the floor.
4) For strength...you can carry in all of the grocery bags; you're making strides on better balance; or, you can climb stairs without sore legs.
5) For mobility...you followed protocol or sought some kind of help to get rid of your shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, elbow pain, carpel tunnel, foot pain, or back pain. Therefore, you can do more things now.
6) For vitals...your blood pressure is getting lower because you have decreased the amount of salt you put on your food after it is cooked; your blood sugar is lower because vegetables are your friends; and you found other sources of lean protein to decrease fat intake.
Well, it is June. There are still graduations. So, congratulations to you too! :)
Below is part of a chart that can help you make sure you are getting your money's worth when it comes to exercising if you belong to a gym:

| A few things about this chart: It is not scientific. It is relative. It is contingent upon an individual who goes to the gym on average three times per week for one year at the approximate monthly price he or she pays. Stay tuned for part 2. Ask yourself, at my high-priced gym or at my low-priced gym do I have time to miss out on 60% of the days that I could go? Because at my high-priced gym, $726.58 is gas for potentially 13 weeks (or for the summer) if I do not have a gas-guzzler. | |
