I have a personal ~~theory~~ opinion:

Most people have a list of Want to Do’s/ Have to do’s/ Should do’s that’s a mile long.

This list usually includes,

“I should exercise more”

and

“I should eat better“

But for some reason a lot of people today would rather grow old quickly, live in pain, be reliant on medications, move like the tin man, be depressed, be physically weak, be overweight, be fat, look like shit and generally feel like shit.

Than be responsible ADULTS and spend 4% of their day (or less) to alleviate most of those ills.

It’s Easier to make Excuses than Results

I’m too busy/No time
I’m too old
I don’t have anyone to go with
It’s boring/no fun
I have kids
This hurts, that hurts, I hurt
I’m too out of shape
I’m already in good shape
I can’t afford it
I don’t want to waste all that food
I don’t know what to do
I know what to do
It tastes too good
I’m a social butterfly and eat out a lot
Healthy food is too expensive
I have no support
I need someone to hold me accountable
Dieting is to restrictive
It takes to long to see results
I don’t know how or like to cook

But a small minority of people have just the opposite problem.

They’re excuse-less.

Instead of making up an excuse, finding a reason why they can’t, they consistently find ways they CAN.

Unlike the excuse making group these folks tend to have a laundry list of accomplishments and things going on in their lives and get a LOT of Sh@t done.

Simple fact: the people I know who have the MOST going on in their lives and are legitimately busy FIND the time to take care of themselves and the ones who spend 5 hours a day in front of a T.V. on a telephone or in front of a computer on Facebook, NEVER have the time and ALWAYS have an excuse.

Crazy, isn’t it?

Same 24 hours in the day yet some people just plain get things done and others talk about what they want to get done.

Which brings me to “Hot Mom“.

She was all over TV and the Interwebzzz recently cause of this picture.

Which caused quite a stir.

Some hate her, some love her…..I’m sure you know how this goes…

Point is, she basically called out the whole,

“I’m a mom therefore my kids are my life and sooo important they literally require ALL of my time and I’m left with none for me so I can’t stay healthy, in shape, and have been forced to into this life as a lethargic, gelatinous turd of a person” crowd.

Which is really a sh@tty excuse ~~great logic~~ to be lazy.

Cause the mom (or dad) who takes care herself so that she has the energy to, I don’t know, actually do things with her kids like go to the park and play or play in the backyard and actually participate in their kids lives is waaay worse than the mom who has no energy, is consistently tired, irritable and want’s nothing more than to sit her kids in front of a TV to numb their brains while she sits on the couch and ~~devours other peoples lives instead of living her own~~ wastes time with the Real Fake House Lives of Who Cares Less or some other useless trash.

If your kids rely on you so much and are so important to you, isn’t it your responsibility to be in the best health possible?

Point is, it seems like all the h8ttr’s (that’s how the kids type hater’s, I know, it’s dumb) had awesome excuses which amounted to:

I have: insert physical ailment including but not limited to: fibromayalgia, arthritis, backpain, knee pain, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, joint pain, lethargy, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression and a whole host of other ailments.

All of which have been treated successfully with physical activity.

Some people even suggested that she’s a bad mother.

Cause setting a good example for your young, impressionable kids about being responsible for your health, setting and achieving goals, optimizing your time and not making excuses are clearly sh@tty things to teach kids.

They need to learn how to cry, whine, bitch, moan, blame, rationalize and make excuses, that way they’ll have a wonderfully inflated sense of self that will come crashing down around them, cripple them, depress them, wrap them in a cocoon of fears and hold them back once they enter the real world and no one cares about their excuses.

So how do some people like ~~Maria Kang~~ “Hot Mom” who runs two business and has 3 kids still find the time to workout?

“The Secret”….

She prioritized her day, didn’t waste time and made things work.

“she structures her time in ways that make it all work. She watches no TV, for example, wakes up at 6 a.m., and, while she’s at the park with her children, “I’m working out. I’m not sitting there on my iPhone.”

So what you’re telling is that instead of finding excuses to NOT exercise, she got in what she could when she could and made the most of the same 24 hours that EVERY ONE ELSE HAS AVAILABLE TO THEM????

Even when it was…. gasp: inconvenient to do so…..
