Physical Fitness: Not An Epiphany

Are you out of shape, fat, a smoker, drug user, heavy drinker. Why?

If you have a family, you are being selfish in not taking care of yourself. You are driving up health care costs. You are subjecting yourself to medical intervention and a whole heap of unhappiness. You are being lazy. And when I see you walking around in the grocery store with a cart full of unhealthy crap with/without fat children in tow, I am continually and absolutely amazed about your ignorance and lack of self respect and discipline.

Eat to live: get your 5 servings 0f fruits/veggies per day, follow a low fat diet, eat healthy carbs and lean protein sources, go ahead and splurge once per week and have a great desert, enjoy a glass of wine at night, and be aware of how many calories you are consuming on a daily basis. Exercise for 45 minutes at least 4 times per week and make it a combination of aerobic and resistance training sessions. How difficult is that?

In case you haven't realized by now, with this being my second (rant-like) post, I intend to pull no punches in my commentary on this blog.
