Good Fats, Bad Fats

Image is Everything?

This Everyday Health article should help us understand the difference between good fats and bad fats.

Some people count calories. Others watch their portion sizes.

Neither one of these matters much if you’re not considering the good fats and the bad fats.

Great Results Come From Where?

Hard work.

Period.

End of story.

It’s time for me to shut up, show up, lace up and head out the door for a run.

Everyday, we have a physical responsibility to care for our body through adequate exercise and proper nutrition. It doesn’t get any simpler than this.

Quit making excuses about when you’re going to get started (again).

What are you going to do today to exercise your precious physical gift?

1. Did you get a cortisone shot? Yes.

2. Do you wear custom orthotics? No.

3. Do you take an anti-inflammatory pill? No.

4. Do you apply topical anti-inflammatory cream or gel 4x/day? No.

5. Do you ice your foot twice a day? No.

6. Do you wear night resting-foot splints? No.

7. Do you stretch everyday? No.

8. Do you do strengthening exercises? No.

Too Bad There's Not An Express Lane For Self-Discipline
Too Bad There's Not An Express Lane For Self-Discipline

People are very often annoyed by people who know where they are going. It’s easy to hate people who are focused and have enormous self-discipline. Isn’t it? I mean, what part of that is hard?

Those self-motivated go-givers are always having things go their way.

They get all the breaks.

And they have none of the challenges we have. Right?

Truth be told, their lives might be more challenging than yours.

It’s just that they’ve figured out that the two choices we all get to make are the two choices in yesterday’s post.
