One day while watching I caught a glimpse of a preview for an upcoming EXTREME NERD MAKEOVER show! The show planned to feature a one-legged stripper, Amber, wanting to surprise a former crush. Needless to say, I tuned in the next day! Surprisingly I learned a lesson or two...
#1 Follow Your Dreams/Weight loss Goals
Despite a disability, Amber never let one leg get in the way of her dream to become an exotic dancer (DON'T JUDGE...lol). This chic jumped on the pole and rocked it, one leg and all. I am blessed with two legs and complain about working out...ALL THE TIME. I need to shut my pie hole, stop complaining and handle my business in order to reach my health & wellness goals. Like Amber, I need to jump on the stripper pole of life and ride (what a colorful metaphor)!
#2 Love Your Body
Amber obviously loves her body as evident by her profession of choice. As I continue to lose weight, I notice some body parts require more attention than others (e.g. arms, stomach, thighs, etc). Instead of focusing on my wings (arms), extra stomach, and turkey drumstick legs, I now prefer to focus on the positives like my sexy collarbone and coke bottle figure with my new-found waist.
(planning on shortening this dress...soon)
#3 Stop Complaining
I posses two legs, two arms, a somewhat semi-normal functioning brain, two eyes to see, two ears to hear...
I basically arrived in this world with all working standard factory functions. So with that being said written, I need to STOP the complaining & "USE WHAT I GOT TO GET WHAT I WANT" (prolific quote from the movie Player's Club). What I want...what I believe most of my blog readers want IS lifelong health & wellness. So my advice to you...USE WHAT YOU GOT & jump on the stripper pole of life and ride!
A good lesson to learn... and I love the dress!!
