Different Definitions of Health

Is it important to you that your trainer is fit? Is it important to you that they LOOK fit?

Do you think those two things are one in the same?

Just curious.

I went blog stalking for a few minutes tonight before I was ready to start my blog post and I ended up deciding to write this, which is very different than what I was planning to write. Blog stalking. Healthy living blogs. Fitness competitor blogs. Runner blogs. Weight lifting blogs. Happy mom blogs. Mad mom blogs.

Can I just give half of them a freaking wide spread comment?

SHUT THE HECK UP!

Oh my gosh. I am totally a blogger, and I pride myself on being very, very raw. I think I am even WAY too much for some people. I get it, my filter isn't as sharp as it once was. But atleast you know what you are getting. Do you wonder if I am a grown woman who has a truckers mouth, but tries really hard to hide that? No, I think that is pretty apparent. Do you wonder if I am Christian? Nope, pretty clear. Do you wonder if I actually practice what I preach? Nope, I think you get it. Do I say I am all healthy and normal 100% of the time and then keep posting stupid shiznit that clearly speaks otherwise? I did. In the beginning but thank heavens I have gotten myself figured out through the course of this blog so that I can better help others.

Ya know, they say DO NOT PUT YOUR KIDS GAS MASK ON UNTIL AFTER YOU PUT YOURS ON?! Well I want to tell a lot of bloggers, gurus, and other world wide web peeps to put their stinkin mask on. They are showing people their whole lives and some of em are cray cray. Am I right or am I right?

I really really want to give examples here, but in an effort to be more Christ-like--I am not going to.

I am just going to ask you this--when you leave a blog--do you feel uplifted? Do you feel like you could do a little more? Do you feel ok with who you are NOW?

If the answer is no, if that guru or blog author or random person who is pretending to be something they really might not be, is making you feel like you aren't good enough. Not fit enough, not strong enough, not kind enough, not healthy enough, not like a good enough wife or mom--say PEACE out. Keep going til you find someone or something you click with that makes you feel good about YOU.

Remember, health can be defined in MANY many different ways. There is not one size fits all approach and there is not an end all be all way. And because you follow a meal plan, or exercise 8 times a week, or never yell at your kid, or shower your husband with loveydovey goo every second of the day does NOT make you better or healthier than someone who doesn't. (In fact--maybe it makes you cray-cray?!?! maybe...)
