A Fine Physical Specimen I Am…
You know you are out of shape when you pull something getting up from the couch…which may or may not of happened to me this evening. I remember, not all that long ago, when I was playing soccer and tennis regularly…and in good enough shape to sprint a considerable distance without getting too winded. Now I need to catch my breath after walking up two flights of stairs.
My spirit may be bent…but it’s not broken. Below is my 3 point plan to getting into better shape.
- Stop eating peanut butter M&M’s for breakfast – I’m no nutritionist…but I’m pretty sure they are not part of a balanced and healthy diet
- Get more exercise – I’m not saying I’m lazy…but I would rather walk around the entire house looking for the remote control then walk 5 feet from my sofa to the big screen to change the channel by hand (more exercise in the short run…far more sitting on my lazy butt in the long run)
- Recognize that just because a food falls in several food groups (or just one for that matter), does not mean it is healthy – If you break it down enough, pizza sounds really good for you
I’m supremely confident in my ability to follow these 3 steps and turn myself into a well rounded, and less round, healthy individual. Well, 2 out of the 3 steps anyway, I really do love peanut butter M&M’s.
