I hope you’re NOT a fool!
Proverbs23:9-Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words. (NKJV)
How many times have you been at work in the kitchen warming up bland chicken & broccoli and someone says, that’s all your eating? How about when you get your protein and shaker and mix it and add a side of veggies or rice cakes to it, (plain unsalted rice cakes) only to have someone say, that is gross! You’re drinking that crap and eating card board! Yeah, been there done that, heard all of it.
Do you carry a lunch bucket to work w/ 4-5 meals in it, keep unsalted nuts, protein, oatmeal, or natural p.b. at your desk? Do you wake up at the crack of dawn to put in a workout or go to the gym immediately after work? If you do, you are probably in the minority of most. The sad thing is that what you are doing is awesome, yet explain it to someone who isn’t-a fool.
Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
This proverb is so on point! Try explaining your lifestyle to someone who is NOT about it and they call you all sorts of names and say you are crazy! A fool despises knowledge and that includes you talking about eating clean, resistance training, cardio, etc.
So, my blurb for the day is-to heck w/ them! Don’t worry about explaining anything to anyone, because if he is a fool, which most are-they will despise everything that you have to say and think you are nuts. So, like I said before, the proof is in the pudding and surely the person who lives a healthy & fit lifestyle will prevail. So, keep doing you, packing lunch, going to the gym, and being healthy. At the end of it all-you will remain standing!
Yours in health & fitness!

lol, thanks! i can’t tell you how many times people have dogged me out for wanting to live a healthy lifestyle. i just got to the point where i stop explaining! period. Even an ex of mine, he’s a great guy, just won’t listen to me and i know what i’m talking about. so i dont even explain anything to him. i just ask him NOT to question me. ignorance is bliss

Your blog is a wonderful and refreshing experience all unto itself. I can definitely feel your positive and admirable plight to encourage and embolden men and women to take care of themselves and truly understand the importance of treating their body as a temple.

lol-i’m glad you liked my post! it was just something that gets on my freaking nerves! people constantly ask 1000 questions about why we do what we do, yet when we try to explain, they think were nuts. so i have come to the conclusion that i do what i do, because i do what i do and i like it! damnit! lol i no longer waste my time trying to explain why i eat plain freaking tuna or bland chicken breast or black coffee for that matter. right now, i know i don’t look the part, but give me a couple of weeks and like i said, the proof will be in the pudding!

AMEN! Awesome post, and love it.
You talkin about food made me hungry so I snacked on an apple. And when U mentioned the lunchbox, I was rolling! Someone was just giving me shit about my little red cooler I take to work all the time with my snacks and lunch. haha.
Im with ya, dont even bother explaining why. I just smile and say, ‘because I can…’
January 25, 2009 at 3:17 pm
lol, i have a red cooler to and it would be packed w/ my meals, i worked 10hr a day, so i had alot in there. they use to call me the bag lady, cause i had a 1/2 gallon water bottle, big red cooler, huge purse, and my gym bag! lol! i got over it really quick! thats why they looked the way that they did and i looked the way that I did at that time! lol!
even w/ a few guys i use to date, they would try to say i was crazy for how i ate..but here’s my thing..do NOT bash me about how i eat and then cricitize my eating! hello!!! they go hand in hand!
It’s exactly like the scripture says! lol!

That gets on my LAST nerve when people say things like that. People don’t like what they don’t understand!
