Every magazine and internet search will tell you what to do to get fit and healthy.
I wanted to change it up a bit.
1. Surround yourself with others that are unhealthy and unfit.
2. Start tomorrow.
3. Research your options and do nothing.
4. Smoke.
5. Take advice from unfit and unhealthy people on how to be fit and healthy. Family included, especially a spouse.
6. Fail once. Quit forever.
7. Drink excessive amounts of alcohol, even if it’s just on the weekends.
8. Blame your circumstances.
9. Avoid discomfort of all kinds.
10. Make promises to yourself. Break promises to yourself.
11. Keep candy and ice cream nearby.
12. Wait for perfect conditions.
13. Avoid focusing on wrong stuff. It’s not doing more stuff, it’s doing the right stuff.
14. Do what everyone else is doing.
15. Talk more, do less.
16. Keep trying something new.
17. Keep making the same mistakes
18. Never eat a home cooked meal.
Now do the exact opposite.
