02/01/2009: "There's A Place Up Ahead And I'm Goin Just As Fast As My Feet Can Fly"
Super Bowl Sunday. Three million for a 30 second commercial. Ivar's paid for a half second commercial. That's going to be hard to spot without staring at it constantly, but I'm sure the local news will show it over and over. I may tape it in case I miss some of the other commercials. For 3 million they'd better be good.
It's going to be a day of over-indulgence, but not for me. The cravings are gone, and mentally I know it's portion control that's my last hurdle. It's time to kick this in gear, stop making excuses and tell it like it is. Apparently we have to be told over and over again before we finally get it. For instance, whose idea was it to remind us, daily for two years, that there wouldn't be antenna reception after Feb. 2009. They even felt the public wasn't ready yet and wanted to extend the deadline for another 4 months. I guess it's because we don't listen, and have to be told many times before it finally sinks in. For example, Cesar Milan. People with unruly dogs watch him every week, while he tells people what idiots they are still letting the dogs run their lives and yet they still don't apply it to their own animals. It's the same with the Nanny. We like seeing her telling the parents that they are the problem, not the kids, and then they go back to ignoring their kids and abusing them. It all comes down to one thing. Let's begin today and take care of all the babies, animal and human. When they make a sound let them know you are listening. They just want to know you're there. Set limits and mean it. If you can't do it alone let's make it a community effort. Everyone needs to know what's expected of them and to not feel ignored. There's a few more things I'm going to say for one last time since it seems to still be a problem for a lot of people.
If you want to quit smoking, don't light another. Yes you'll be uncomfortable for a few days but you won't die by quitting. So what are you afraid of?
If you want to lose weight, stop eating so much and stop buying crap. If it's not in the house you can't eat it.
Get off your ass and move. You have to move your legs to keep them working to carry you through life so "Let's All Dance!"
