I also have a friend who has one child. Running is her life. Literally. The doctors have told her that ONE of the reasons she is unable to keep a pregnancy is because she runs too much. She also goes to the gym for two hours a day (well, not on Sundays). My point? There are many, many good and not so good things (although when a piece of cheesecake hits your tongue, it's hard to think it's a bad thing) in the world, and they all need to be taken in moderation. We need to steer clear of the extreme.
I saw this a few years ago and still think it's funny. Careful, some may find it...graphic(?), so I'm apologizing now if I offend you, not my intention.
Why Exercise Frightens Me
What's gonna happen when they stop weight training...?
I think it's important to have your body be recognizable as human, more specifically human male or female. That's my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteOh my, please don't ever let me look like these ladies. Moderation and balance in life = healthy body and healthy mind.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, yes definitly moderation in all things. Thanks for the visual. I will always remember moderation from here on out.
ReplyDeleteBwaahaaahaaa! Those are awesome, Jenn!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have known women whose weight and health habits have been a hinderance to getting pregnant. Obsession is never good.
JENNIFER!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBwaahaaahaaa!
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha!
Hahahahahaha!(Yes, Sue and I are related) I'm still giggling.
It reminds me of this ominous Hershey's chocolate email I got a few weeks ago, where it warns you of the dangers of eating too much chocolate, until you get to the end, and there's a picture of fat chicks in swimsuits. Sometimes you need a good giggle, although the last pic was probably a little over the top. But I'm still laughing!
P.S. Go Photoshop some "modesty" color blobs on top of the fat chick. It's what I have to do sometimes when I post cute naked baby pics.
ReplyDeleteJenn! I LOVE IT! I have several of those exercise friends...it's hard for them to let go. It's important to let go and relax once in a while.
ReplyDeleteIn my mind I'm obsessed doing two a days looking like an Olympic Athlete...then reality sets in and I get in a nice workout and don't skip cookies every time they come my way.
I'm proud to say that I had one very small treat at our Enrichment this week. I could have eaten a ton but I knew a taste would satisfy and not make me feel like I'm deprived.
Moderation...a key to success.
Yeah, I don't have Photoshop, or else I would have. :)
ReplyDeleteTHis is the funniest post yet! LOVE IT! I guess I shouldn't show you all how "buff" I am getting... I am sure I'd put those girls to shame :) HA HA HA THanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteI just threw up a little in the back of my throat.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, is that for real? I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. So funny! Thanks Jenn for the laugh! And the reminder of moderation. I need to practice that a little more.
ReplyDeleteStill funny!
