R - I don't believe in spirits and I don't have a spiritual side. I do believe in evolution and the millions of years of selection resulting in what we see as nature.
The funniest part, is that I have made no judgements nor statements about your conditioning or level of fitness. I have only made general statements. You have made the statements about your own situation, not me. It is very niave of you to think that I am ignorant about this topic. I have helped many people lose weight. However, I have never helped anyone that maintained excuses. Indeed, seeing them for what they are is the first step. Well, I gotta run. I'm off to play 9 inning (or more) of baseball. What are you ladies doing today to improve your physical health & conditioning ? Oh and by the way, the brain is a physical organ. It's health is also affected by exercise & diet. See ya.
My statements are exactly accurate and THAT is what bothers you ladies the most. Sorry for the 'tough love', but excuses will NEVER get you the body you really want. Sure, there are psychological maladies that lead to excuses, but part of good health is to overcome those self defeating psyches. I maintain that both proper diet AND sufficient exercise are critical to good health and a nice bod. You can either take charge of your health & conditioning, or you can make more excuses. However, you are not likely to do both.
If you intake more calories than you expend, you gain weight. If you expend more calories than you intake, you lose weight. If you reach the proper balance, you maintain your weight. All sorts of inventive excuses do not change the mathematics. Proper diet & sufficient exercise = a nice bod.
I disagree with the statement. I always have. IT never makes us stronger. Instead, only we can CHOOSE to grow stronger with the effort to do so, if we are able. Some people choose other responses. Sometimes serendipity chooses for us. Does the cement mixer that runs over us and makes us live the rest of our life as a vegetable on life support, make us stronger ? Of course not. While I understand the purpose of the statement, I disagree with it. Even in those cases where we do grow stronger, it is more do to the efforts we make ourselves to get stronger, than to the event or object that almost killed us.
Like I said, I have absolutely no idea about their insurance. I just enjoy most of their commercials.
The cavemen was regarding, suuposedly how easy their website is to use - "so easy, even a caveman can do it". The running joke was that it wasn't politically correct to pick on cavemen as they may be sensitive to it.
I know EXACTLY what you want !
