Sweeping!
"The man who sleeps on the floor can't fall out of bed.." -Martin Payne
LOL, ok so I have absolutely no idea what that means haha. But I thought it was hilarious last night when Martin said it and I figured I'd share...and brighten everyone's day.
This morning, as I exfoliated :-) hahaha and prepared for work (I do some of my best thinking then) I started to think about that rock hard body. Remember the one I was going on and on about a few posts back? Yeah that one. Well needless to say I have not joined a gym as of yet. I even went as far as convincing myself that instead of paying for a gym membership I would just go and buy some kicks (sneakers, tennis shoes etc). My reasoning was that instead of locking myself in a 1 yr contract I should test the "working out" waters just a tad and see if I could at least commit to running/jogging which is free lol. I even got a map of my complex from my leasing office and planned my route. Of course 1 week later, you think I made any progress? Naw!! lol...so this got me to thinking about how many times in our lives we are guilty of wanting something but never doing what it takes to reach that goal.
For instance...I have a co-worker that shares the same doctor as I. Occasionally she will tell me what "Shanita" told her during her check-up. Recently she was told she needs to loose some weight. Cool, not too difficult of a task one would think...right? Wrong! As she is telling me this, she is stuffing a fry...yes french fry into her mouth. I have seen her eat lunch on a daily basis from 1 of the following: Checkers, Chic-fil-A, Quiznos, Pizza Hut and Q-doba (her favorite of the bunch). So now I'm a tad confused, how do you expect to LOSE weight when your diet consists of grease with a side of ketchup??! And I don't say any of this to be judgmental or mean etc, yall know fries are my favorite food. Shoot I have a 5lb weight buffer where I allow room for the occasional french fry binge :-) I just once again am confused at how you expect to gain certain results without the effort.
This amazes me, and I have this conversation quite often with "Mister". We live in a society where the norm is to expect exceptional results with normal behavior. Its no different than the lazy person that wishes and hopes to be rich but doesn't work...or the person looking for love but has a closed heart. Why have we become conditioned to think that things will be handed to us? I know some of you are thinking, noooope not me, I work for what I want. That's the thing, I thought I did as well, when it comes to my career and money etc, I'm all for it...working hard. But what about the little things that we allow to fall by the wayside, just assuming by some act of God (I guess) that they will just work themselves out?
As Dr. Phil says..."Don't dream...DO. Don't want...GET!"
So with that said...I am making a trip to the mall this weekend to get some kicks! I know when to sweep around my own front door before sweeping around yours. That's sexy!
