I'm really not good about this blogging thing, I guess. I'll frequently think of things that I should have blogged about then time passes and it's not pertinent anymore and then who wants to read it anyway?
So I'm going to mention some random thoughts that have occurred to me as of late.
One thing is that I can't believe that people still smoke. I just don't understand how it can still possibly be appealing to the teens that first pick it up and the adults that continue to do it. What especially is amazing to me is that so many people in the medical profession do it. As a dietitian, my first question to anyone asking diet advice is "do you smoke?". If they say they do, I tell them that I'm not going to waste my time and theirs until they quit smoking. Because it doesn't really matter if your BMI is 19 or 50. Although losing weight and eating better will benefit everyone, it's not worth the effort if you're willing to suck on cancer sticks. Worst thing you can put in your body.
Another thing that I just saw came from a photo. How can anyone still wear fur? There are so many other options. I personally don't buy leather, down, sheepskin, or wool items either. There are so many man-made fabrics that do a fine job for warmth and style. Why skin an animal to do it? I know... Eskimos and bear skins kept them warm, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, well we used to be able to get everywhere on foot or bike and that hasn't stopped people from moving on, right? This is not to say that you won't see me in leather shoes... what it means is that those shoes are more than 10 years old.
I try not to pass judgement on people as we all have our issues, but some things just seem plain and obvious to me. Maybe people don't want to be better and do better.
Kind of tired now. Been fighting a sore throat HARD for 2 days. Going to win because there is no time in triathlon training for being sick, right?
