For Feck’s sake fitness industry people, use spell and grammar check!! And a good proofreader!

There’s probably a good reason that we aren’t looked upon as being that smart…

From healthy food guide November issue; teaching us if we don’t sit down too much we can live forever:

“The women who sat for more than 6 hours each day were more likely to die than women who sat for less than 3 hours each day”

And a gym testimonial from a member who was obviously bored shitless with her membership until she got a PT….

(Don’t even get me started on their spell checking abilities.)

“I joined XYZ Fitness and needed more excitement working out to keep me going.”

Gym websites are the best; this one offers a solution to a unique problem -do their new bodies come premade or kitset?

“If you're searching for a new body - or just a balanced life - we can get you there.”

Okay so now I’m on a roll. Check out this gym’s customer service statement, I want to know how they treat everyone else!

“As a first time member you will be treated with respect and empathy….”

Bad Mamma's Club

Just seen a lovely update on facebook, for mums to write on their status, as an indication of their love for their babies.

Now, I love my babies (now 10 and 12) more than anything. I also know the women who paste these updates are expressing something very cool and that should be celebrated.

BUT…….

Love comes in many ways and sometimes we need to celebrate and respect that not all mums have the same overwhelming joy at every moment, it doesn’t change the love they feel, it just makes it different.

Some Mums thought it was the worst thing that could have happened to be pregnant.

Some Mums take a look at their new born and go ‘oh shit!!!’.

Some Mums are unconscious when their kid is born, or have their baby whisked away before they get to meet them.

Some Mums get post natal depression and are so sad they can’t ‘love’ in the way other Mums do.

Some Mums don’t get to be with their kids 7 days a week through work and separate households or adoption and cannot spare the luxury of stressing each time their baby is away from them.

Some Mums watched their own Mums try to live up to the expectation of others and work hard every day to not fall into that trap.

Some Mums believe that to love yourself is the best way to show your kids the real meaning of love.

Some mums don’t love their kids more than life, cos without taking care of life there isn’t anytime to love your kids.
