It is too hard, you grumble. The media sends to many messages at me to drink pop, eat out, and buy things. Work takes all my time and I cannot find time to work out.
Well, you are responsible for you. It is no one’s fault if you fail to plan meals and end up eating un-healthy meals. Notice I did not say eating out. We have many choices when we eat out, but are you making smart choices? Do you choose salads, put your dressings on the side, eliminate extras like cheese, mayo, or additional meats that don’t do much for the sandwich in the first place. Many times just asking for them on the side can cut a bunch of calories. Most restaurants put much more than a serving on.
It is no one’s fault if you choose to work long hours and never take a break. A work out does not have to be long. Study after study show employee productivity goes up when employees are healthy, absenteeism goes down, and morale gets better. If your boss is not interested in any of those things, you may want to re-think your place of employment, it may not survive the economy or the increasing healthcare costs and obesity rates.
It is no one’s fault if you choose to spend money on clothes, cigarettes, poor food choices, and other sedentary activities. Invest your money and energy into things that will help you reach your fitness goals and watch your life shine!
