Twinkie the Kid (pictured at left) was never quoted as saying any of the below:
Recognize and acknowledge improvements
Define, measure, analyze, improve. control
Self realization of process
Identify, reduce, eliminate suboptimal processes
baby steps not giant leaps
We, however, are building the future from yesterday's success. That is ONE of our core principals. Training is testing. We measure and we manage. We pay attention to details. And, as I have already repeated several times today, we are forever faithful (semper fidelis) to the form, foundation and technique that got us here, or as we used to say in the wonderful world of shit-kickin country music, 'ya dance with what brung 'ya.
And what brings us to this point was a idea suggesting that we might be responsible for our own good health and fitness. There is no entitlement, no pill and no secret formula available only in third-world countries. It is the almost alternative view that if it is to change it is up to us. Nothing that the FLOTUS will ever say will get me to do pushups. There is no conceivable offer that Jillian Michaels can make to get me to lose weight. I don't care about washboard abs, a chiseled physique or The "V". I don't usually take delight in the hardship of others by when I read last night that the folks who make Hostess Twinkies have declared for bankruptcy protection, some LMFAO ensued.
It is up to us. Take some responsibility. WYFAO. Where W is work and Y is Your. That part is simple. You can be fit or you can be fat. This is America. Wanna ram ten Twinkies a day and waddle to work? All yours. This freedom is yours to accept or reject. NOTE: We interrupt this blog post to bring you the latest national score: The Acceptors 25.4%, The Rejectors 74.6%. It seems that almost 3/4 of us reject this freedom of choice. One amazing statistic!
ACCEPTORS: WE ARE GETTING CREAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost 75% of the current 308 million Americas are either overweight or obese. YO REJECTORS: Put those Twinkies down and get moving! Even if it is something small, baby steps, a walk in the park. Even if it is rolling on the ground laughing. Something. Get started, One step. Then continue. DON'T STOP.
Identify, reduce and eliminate the bad. That doesn't take a degree from Cal-Tech. Then, find something physical you like to do, and DO IT.
And do it again.
And again.
Again.
See the trend? Continual improvement. One day at a time. Take in less calories today than you use. Less bun more burn. That is huge. We will repeat it tomorrow until it becomes habitual. Like brushing your teeth. With time we will add intensity and duration. Be vigilant. It is up to you. We are with you.
Join the losing team. Be an acceptor. Twinkie the Kid has grown up. And he is fat.
