It's a pet peeve of mine to hear people say they are "lazy". "I'm just lazy, I guess." They refer to it like it's some "condition". As if it's not their fault they are lazy. And, better yet, now that I've posted the definition above, it appears they are not truly understanding the definition of the word. I'm going with definition number 1: "unwilling to do work or make an effort." How do you interpret this? Me? I take it at face value. It means UNWILLING TO WORK OR MAKE AN EFFORT. It would be powerful if that's what we said every time we wanted to use the word lazy. Say it for what it is - unwilling to work or make an effort.

Ok, ok, why am I harping on this point? Because it's so blindly obvious. The definition of lazy is all about taking responsibility for avoiding work. And, the work I'm speaking of is the work of committing to health and fitness each and every day. Lazy is being UNWILLING TO WORK. So, the deeper set of questions try to get to what's behind the unwillingness. What are the reasons?

The theme of this blog is all about commitment - working each and every day to make healthy choices. Sometimes it feels like a lot of work and sometimes it feels like a little work, but it is work. I've  opened up a little of my private life in hopes it might help others see that even some one like me, a "Health Professional, A Nutritionist, A Fitness Instructor" works at this daily commitment.

Thoughts?

Keep on keeping on.
