Thoughts of a Feisty Red Head

As of today I have lost 55 lbs. I still have a little ways to go. I work out 6 days a week, that includes cardio and abs, Sunday is my only day off. With that said, of course people have questions. I don’t mind them asking what it is I have been doing, I tell them proudly, I even direct them to bb.com for any other info they may need. What I do mind is when I am done they say well that’s alot of work, I don’t know if I could do that.

HUH!!! ???

Well either you want it or you don’t, I can’t make you do it, but if you want to lose weight, gain muscle and strength then this is what it takes.

I am tired of hearing them whine about how overweight they are, tired, etc… how they don’t have time to work out the way I do. If I can find the time so can they, I am up at 3 am most mornings, I do cardio and abs, then in the afternoon I do my workout, I have kids other things to do too. If you go home, sit and watch TV that is the time you should spend doing cardio or abs, "but I’m tired" is what I hear. Well I have a news flash for you… SO WAS I !!! but not anymore, I have more energy and feel so much better than I ever did. I also laugh because I am 51 years old, most of the whiners are 10 - 20 years younger than me !!! I tell them to start out slow with exercise, I did now it is just part of my day.

Then there is food…most of them also eat crap, fast food, huge deli sandwiches,my favorite a salad with  chicken, bacon, cheese, and full fat ranch dressing with a side fo greasy garlic bread… "but I am eating healthy" Ah, no you are not!!!

They justify not eating healthy with the time constrants also. How hard is it the throw a salad into a container, get low fat or fat free dressing and open a can of tuna ? And think of all the money you would save…

Oh and about the time constraints, most of them have to watch their reality shows,that is why they don’t have time to work out, sooo… that is more important than your  own survival, hmmm….

I did have quite the laugh on Friday when one gal who has asked me several questions and had made all the excuses…said that once her husband cleaned the garage she would start using the treadmill, and then she said, you use those little pink and purple weights right ???( this gal does not have a clue) I said what ???!!! Oh honey, I use 25- 30 lbs. for biceps, triceps, etc … and explained my gym, then I popped my bicep for her and her mouth dropped open, OMG!!! she said. It was pretty funny.(good thing it was back/biceps day on Friday)hehehe…

Bottom line either you want it or you don’t, and if you don’t then stop asking the question…because I can’t help you unless you want to help yourself.
