Priorities

As a Health & Fitness Consultant it is my job to promote a healthy lifestyle, fitness, a better way of life. I show people how to incorporate fitness, cleaner eating and personal growth into their daily lives which teaches them how they can live a happier, more fulfilling life. I love teaching this to others. I've learned so much about myself along the way.

Today is Black Friday. There are tons of people all over the U.S. swarming the retail world for all the 'great deals' on tv's, gadgets and well...in my opinion...JUNK! Useless crap that no one NEEDS. What has become of people's priorities? They can spend hundreds of dollars on JUNK, yet they claim they can't afford to eat nutritious food or afford a fitness program that actually costs LESS than the crap they're standing in line for or camping out for days to buy. What is WRONG with this picture?

People have become so distorted in how they view their priorities. THINGS have become more important to them then their health or the health of their family. It's really a shame and very heart breaking.

If only they would see that if they would invest their money wisely...so many more rewarding things would happen for them. I do my best to show them, lead by example. Sometimes I don't feel like I do enough. But I am only one person and I do what I can. It's up to them to make the changes. To decide to make better choices. If they don't, that's not my fault...it's on them when they don't feel well or end up in the doctors office for an illness or disease that could have been prevented.

I pray for these people. I pray for them to change their priorities and choose HEALTH over JUNK!

What Will It Cost You?

The people I talk to on a daily basis use money as the reason why they won't take action against the very thing holding them back. They 'can't join my challenge groups. They 'can't' buy healthy food. Here are some common phrases I get: "I want to join your fitness challenge, but what does it cost?", "Yes, I want to change, but it depends on how much." and "I need to lose weight, but I just can't afford your program."

What they fail to understand is that money will be spent with or without positive action. People need to pay attention to how much they spend to STAY unhealthy and unfit. People WILL spend money to stay unhealthy. They do it every day! Processed foods in their grocery carts, trips through the drive through, sitting on their behinds watching late night tv with a bag of chips and a soda or a beer.

It's all about priority. I know this because I used to be just like them. Every excuse in the book, I made, so I wouldn't HAVE to face reality of what I was doing to myself.

Me: 220 pounds.

If the couch, tv, pizza, ice-cream and Snickers bar is their priority, that's where their money is going, instead of putting it towards positive change. If that is their priority, what is the cost for NOT taking that money and putting it towards clean eating and exercise?

I guess some people want to pay the ultimate cost, which is their life. It happens every day! Heart disease, Diabetes, Strokes, Cancers -- ALL cost, and cost BIG and ALL preventable.

So my question is: What are your priorities and what will your priorities cost you?
