Too Expensive

Many of you have jobs or work for a living, so you know that money, especially nowadays, is harder to come by. I think all of us have learned a thing or two about being frugal, and with your health it should be no different. Maybe you are reading this because you are my friend and want to see what's on my mind. Or maybe you are reading this because you have seen the drastic turnaround I have made, and want to know how you can get in the best shape of your life, too. Or maybe you just stumbled upon the title and it struck you because you are finding that life has become too expensive. Whatever the reason, I wanted to take a moment to talk about what really is expensive in our lives, and what should be given priority.

You may be thinking..."what is this whole P90X thing about...I want to work out and eat better but a gym membership or a home fitness program and great foods simply cost too much..." STOP. You want to know what is too expensive? Cigarettes are expensive. Alcohol is too expensive, and let's face it--you are buying poison to ingest. Great choice. You like nice clothing, which is expensive and maybe you have enough already. Going out every weekend is expensive. These are just some of the short-term, everyday examples. What's really expensive is later in life when you haven't taken proper care of yourself by eating wholesome, healthy foods and integrating fitness into your daily routine and you find yourself buying...diabetes testing supplies, blood pressure medication, doctor and hospital visits, and hopefully not, but perhaps you develop a disease that could have been avoided by proper health earlier in your life. And do you really want to be using a walker or cane or even a wheelchair because your joints have withered away from lack of use? I hope not. And I'm here to help you revolutionize the way you think about your health and to teach you to value the life that you have, for your sake and your family's. This blog may be a refresher and motivator, or it may seem like a punch to the gut, depending on how you are living now. But ask yourself, what is really too expensive? Thanks for reading and check back tomorrow!
