Health, Wellness, Exercise, Reflections:
Don't Be a BUT Head

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D / February 17, 2012

If there is one thing I can point to that definitely interferes with one's ability to get fit and healthy, it's the dreaded But Syndrome. I think we all know some 'but people,' and you may actually be one yourself. Now don't misunderstand me, because I'm not referring to any physical feature here. The 'but' I'm talking about is the word. It's the one word that follows almost every sentence that 'but people' complete regarding getting fit and healthy.

Let me give you a couple of brief examples:

I was going to exercise after work but... I didn't want to eat that piece of cake but... I was going to start my diet today but...

If you want to have that fit body and healthy life you dream about, it's time to get off your 'but.'

It's really true when you think about it. That single word negates everything said before it, and it's that very word that separates you from healthy living. Just to drive this point home even more, you will notice that 'u' is right smack dab in the middle of 'but.' Excuse my pun here, but 'u' have got to get your 'but' out of there. Your assignment for today is to give this some honest thought and decide if you suffer from the But Syndrome. Listen to your sentences today regarding healthy living, and see how often they end with this debilitating word. It's time to stop this nonsense and get your 'but' moving. And I suggest you move it far, far away from your procrastinating and excuse-making sentences. Once you do that, healthy living is close at hand.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the "Male Athlete" that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!

Obama Administration Won't Defend Gay Marriage Ban DOMA In Military Case
By Carlos Santoscoy / On Top Magazine / February 18, 2012
 
The Obama administration on Friday announced that it would not defend in court the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) as it relates to military benefits.

Last fall, a group of married gay service members and veterans sued in federal court for spousal benefits. The 1996 DOMA bars the military from recognizing the legal marriages of gay troops.

Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner that the Justice Department agreed with the plaintiffs that a section of DOMA is unconstitutional.

The Obama administration announced nearly a year ago that the DOJ would no longer defend DOMA. House Republicans, led by Boehner, moved to fill the legal void, setting aside up to $1.5 million to defend the law.

Holder reiterated on Friday that the administration would continue to enforce the law.

"The legislative record of these provisions contains no rationale for providing veterans' benefits to opposite-sex couples of veterans but not to legally married same-sex spouses of veterans," Holder wrote. "Neither the Department of Defense nor the Department of Veterans Affairs identified any justifications for that distinction that would warrant treating these provisions differently from Section 3 of DOMA."

The case was filed by the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) on behalf of the plaintiffs.

"We are pleased that the Attorney General has decided not to defend the constitutionality of DOMA in the military context, just as he has declined to defend it in other contexts," said SLDN Executive Director Aubrey Sarvis. "We are also delighted that, for the first time, he has said that separate definitions that apply to military veterans are also unconstitutional."
