What would you do if I asked you to carry an extra 40, 50, 60 or maybe even 100 extra pounds around with you for all your daily activities? No putting it down, it must be with you everywhere! You’d probably think I was crazy, and say absolutely no way!

Would you carry around an extra 40 pound bag around for the next month?

One response was “heck no, that would kill me” and yeah guess what it just might. The general consensus is that not one person wants to carry that around at all, yet everyday millions carry that extra weight around via a spare tire in the mid-section of the body without giving it a second thought. I've done it, I’ll admit and why I have no idea I did, just a matter of convenience.

Currently 1/3 of US adults are classified as Obese, and the phrase "I'm just big boned" is absolute BULL HOCKEY! Nothing more than an excuse, to cover for poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. So stop making excuses, quit hiding behind the "I'm busy" line if you can spend an hour watching The Blacklist or Peaky Blinders or whatever the fad show of the week is, you can spend 30 minutes working on yourself. You only have one body, take care of it, I'm often surprised at how much time is spent taking care of a car or motorcycle while the one vessel that allows you to enjoy those very things goes neglected. [tweetthis]I'm surprised at time spent taking care of a motorcycle yet the body goes neglected. #candoit2[/tweetthis]
