Women are crazy!!

January 12th, 2008
· Filed Under: Geek Lifestyle · In the news

Ok, so I sort of put that title up just to get attention. More like people are crazy but the survey in a recent fitness magazine was done only on women. Here is a list of just a few things women said they would give up to be skinny.

  • 85% said they would go through life with an extra 6th toe.
  • 23% said they would shave their heads.
  • Nearly 50% said they would rather lose 20lbs than live to be 100.
  • Almost 25% would spend a week in prison to be their ideal weight.

Really!?! Is exercise and proper diet really that bad? Or has our society just become that lazy?

This type of information is very saddening to me. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the overabundance of misinformation in this country about how to really lose weight in a healthy manner. Every day we’re force fed BS from commercials, magazines, tv shows, movies, and even the occasional fitness expert who has been brainwashed by all the previously mentioned culprits.

Thats it for this week. Any questions send them to ask@thebuffgeek.com

Resolutions

January 3rd, 2008
· Filed Under: Geek Lifestyle

Alright, I’m finally back into the swing of things. From Thanksgiving to New Years I have an out of control schedule but I’m back now.

New Years resolutions have always confused me. People always pick something they know they have to do and decide that this is the year they are going to make it happen. Does that seem silly to anyone else? Sounds like procrastination to me. If your new found resolution is so good for you, why did you feel the need to wait until a new year?

Ive heard them all. All of the benchmarks people use for their new lifestyle change. Birthdays coming up, turning 40, holiday party’s and the first day of summer etc. If you miss one just aim for the next one coming up right? These events are really your best excuse for turning your life around?

Being in the fitness business I know exactly what happens when people make their life changing decisions this way. They stick to it for maybe 6 weeks and then they start to fade.

Honestly, life changes are a really hard and important decision to make. Its going to take more than just a benchmark in society to convince yourself that this change is really going to happen.

Maybe we should be looking somewhere else for the push and desire to change our lives.
