But after reading this, I feel like I need to get real with myself and let the inner crab out sometimes. Because I know I get crabby about the whole eating right a lot. Not so much with the working out because I like moving. But the food. Dang. <br /><br />Thanks for making this wonderful impression in my life.All Women Stalkerhttp://allwomenstalk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-10158708650290940702010-02-22T21:48:47.177-05:002010-02-22T21:48:47.177-05:00I don't feel as though I have an inner crab.

I loved this post & this: Many would disagree with me, but I think optimistic over-promising can lead to a sense of failure, when you're actually making positive changes! Let your inner Crab reign in your expectations just a little, so that there's more room to exceed your own expectations.<br /><br />I don't feel so bad now!!!!<br /><br />I wish you so much success & happiness in your next endeavor BUT I will patiently await an update here!Jody - Fit at 52http://www.truth2beingfit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56823670070378456322010-02-22T15:35:06.302-05:002010-02-22T15:35:06.302-05:00I think I'm doing well over here.

Skepticism is healthy in order to evaluate foods, supplements, and activities that will affect our health or our time.<br /><br />Nevertheless, it's good to step outside the comfort zone now and then. I never dreamed I'd get into distance running, but I gave it a try. It wasn't love at first jog, but I committed to sticking with it long enough to say I had given it an honest shake. And what do you know, I got hooked.<br /><br />Oh, and I love what you say about lame temptations. Don't follow the script! I made myself *so* miserable in my twenties trying to like all the things I was "supposed to" like. It's one thing to give it the ol' college try, but if it's not "you," then stop. Don't give up your bliss for someone else's version of it.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-81437633733227001112010-02-22T13:15:41.811-05:002010-02-22T13:15:41.811-05:00My attitude towards life is to expect the worst an...My attitude towards life is to expect the worst and hope for the best. When I walk down the street, I hold onto my bag TIGHT, and that helped me out the one time that I got surrounded by half a dozen girls who tried and failed to beat the crap outta me (my inner crab is a fighter :D). But at the same time, I smile at strangers as I walk down the street, and I'll offer to help someone if they look like they're struggling to open a door or whatever.<br /><br />It's definitely good to have a healthy amount of skepticism in our lives! Maybe we should all work on being "cheerfully crabby", hehe.Saganhttp://livingintherealworld.net/healthy/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-79221846427985620132010-02-22T12:56:21.104-05:002010-02-22T12:56:21.104-05:00I have to agree completely with focusing on good f...I have to agree completely with focusing on good foods you do like, but I must admit that I bust out some mac and cheese every once in a while.

As much as I’d like to jump on the marathon bandwagon, my crab says, “Shut up, who do you think you are?” (Yeah, it’s mean like that.) Still, it’s kept me from hurting myself even more. My optimism can’t say the same thing.Tracey @ I'm Not Superhumanhttp://www.notsuperhuman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-38157860230577467412010-02-22T09:26:09.001-05:002010-02-22T09:26:09.001-05:00Thanks for the pointers on honoring my inner crab....Thanks for the pointers on honoring my inner crab.
