Instant Gratification Meets Exercise.

The problem with designing exercise programs and diets to appeal to the masses is that you might succeed.

When you make a practice or product popular, what is actually effective and life changing about it has been altered.

Practises that lead to health are seldom popular, that is why so much of the populace is in trouble. To be healthy and in shape now a days means that you have rejected what is popular and are swimming upstream, against the flow and the status quo.

If you are waiting for an activity to be fun before you begin it, you will wait for a long time.

But don't worry, you and your expanding waistline will not be alone.  You will be in the company of the vast multitude that please themselves today, yet are unhappy with the consequences of their yesterdays.

Mystical, Mythical Tomorrow

Tomorrow: a land where diets and exercise will begin.

There is another side to tomorrow. While we hear a lot of the wonderful things people will do when it comes, there seems to be a bit of anxiety about it as well.  The same tomorrow that holds the promise of a new beginning also holds the threat of a new problem.

The Amplified Bible says it this way: "So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34

In other words, leave tomorrow, with all of its positives and negatives, alone. It is a box with problems in it. You have enough problems in the box called today to deal with. Fortunately you also have the tools and resources to fix them. Don't trouble trouble until it troubles you.

Excuses of the Uncommitted

The Best Active Ingredient in Diet Products is... YOU!

There was a diet pill that was guaranteed to work if you followed the directions. The directions included drinking a large glass of water 30 min before each meal. The diet worked great. The only problem was, the diet worked just as well without the pill.

The only really effective active ingredient in any diet is you. If you will do the work, your diet will work. If you don't, it won't.
