"A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want."    — Madonna

Many of you won’t be surprised that I am quoting the material girl today in the blog. 

 I admire her spunk and she is a great role model in the area of fitness and weight management for many of us as we enter the middle  years of our lives.  She works very hard at staying in good shape much harder than I advocate for fitness of course but you have to admit she is a winner.

The reason I quote her today is to remind you with her words that you must stand up and shout to the world that you demand the space to create the fitness level and the cooperation you need to achieve that in your life. Insist that family, organizations and friends don’t impose on the time that you need to achieve your goals. Insist that they resist  derailing you with all the care for you that they can muster. they must resist sabotaging  you in the pursuit of this important task.  Be gentle but stern and determined in this. In the end the happier, healthier you will be far better for them too.  It’s anything but selfish to want the time and the cooperation you need to free yourself from the pain of fat and the misery of less than optimal fitness.

Back soon..Liz Lowry
