What would you think if I said you could lose 5 pounds in 5 seconds or even 5 minutes?

I don't want to lead you astray so,... what if you just looked 5 pounds lighter? We have all seen the before and after pictures of weight loss. They are always impressive and rightfully so. A weight loss product would not be very attractive if the after picture wasn't strikingly different from the before. Look closely. Makeup is rarely seen in the before picture. Now look even closer, posture is appalling in the before picture. I know that I can relate most everything to posture, but this is crystal clear to me.

So here I stand in the middle of Bed Bath and Beyond talking.......no, arguing with myself. Have you ever found yourself doing that in public? I do this ALL the time. Sad but true! I suppose it is just thinking out loud.

Age is funny though, I never would have done this in my twenties. By the time I was in my forties, I would just catch myself and chuckle. Now I don't care, I actually mumble and talk myself through the situation. It's like self therapy.

Exercise takes time. We must devote a large amount of time to just stay in shape. Thousand of years ago, our lifestyle was all exercise in the form of hunting, gathering, farming. You get the picture.

As we all know, most of our urban lives are somewhat sedentary. As a matter of fact, we sit on our butts for way too many hours, allowing them to spread. Sitting is by far the worst position for most people with back pain, especially if you have a bulging or herniated disc. Therefore desk work, driving in a car and traveling in an airplane range from frustrating to excruciating.
