Everyone Has a “breaking point”…at Different Times

Posted June 1st, 2008 by usgirl

This is a guest post by author Matthew PerryI personally believe that proper meal plans and exercise can “fix” just about everything that ails us. And if you feel the same way, maybe something happened in your life to get you “moving”. As Oprah says, an “ah ha” moment…(not that I’m admitting to watching Oprah, I just think I heard that somewhere, yeah, that’s the ticket).Maybe you put on a few extra pounds?Maybe you noticed you weren’t as tight as you used to be?Maybe you got short of breath tying your shoes?Maybe you got winded shopping?Maybe you just felt like poisoned crap?Maybe your doctor said that you better get it together?Maybe you developed diabetes?Maybe you had high blood pressure?Maybe hemorrhoids? (just making sure you’re paying attention…as exercise can help these)If this email is old news, then you have already experienced your “trigger” point. If you have not already, then it’s time that you got pissed and listened to your body.What was your trigger point? What was the final straw that got you to commit to a healthy lifestyle? Mine, even though I have been a fitness nut my whole life, was getting short of breath trying to tie my shoes. I had taken toooooo much time off of doing cardio and was only doing weights…I was out of balance so to speak. I remember sitting on the edge of my bed, bent down and was halfway through my second shoe lace and was labored. I stood up and looked in the mirror and went oh no, not me. That was all it took. But I was also ready, grasshopper.Matthew Perry has been an avid health and fitness enthusiast his entire life.
