Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
When you look in the mirror, do you see what others see?
And I’m not talking about looks. I’m talking about effort.
And attitude.
Let’s throw in beliefs, values, and habits too.
Yeah, that’s the one, habits.
Do you think when people look at your health habits, they see you as an example or as a warning?
Age old question isn’t it? Why exercise?
What’s your answer?
There will never be a better time than right now to do it. I realize many reading this will disagree that there’s a better day than today.
If so, may I ask this, “Then if it’s not today, when?”
How many more days, weeks, months, years can your answer be, “Not today?”
Have a great day. “Here’s to your health, your goals, your dreams, and, to today!”
“You can observe a lot by watching.” – Yogi Berra
What did you learn from watching Germany’s Guido Mueller, age 70, break that world record?
I learned age is a state of mind. And the longer you wait to believe this, the harder it must be to do something about it.
I also learned it’s better late than never – otherwise, my wife and I wouldn’t be parents.
What are you waiting for? For the people around you, will you be an example, or a warning? Carpe diem.
Okay, so yesterday was a video of Jack the Bear in Mexico. And today we find Jack in Dallas (different trip) at a nice place.
It was 20 degrees the next morning and I found the willpower to run outside at 7:00AM. I used a pair of socks for gloves and had four layers on my upper body.
No sweatpants though, which took me back to the winter days in Pennsylvania, when a few of us would run distance runs in the snow and freezing temps, sans sweatpants.
Even found the willpower to do a core workout in the Hotel gym the night before, even though I was tired from travel.
So, here’s Jack commenting on where we stayed:
Yes it was a fancy hotel. And yes, Jack watched TV while I worked out and also when I ran in 20-degree temps. Not only is he one lucky bear, but he’s also very smart.
Yes, and it’s not Tiger Woods. Then who?
Jack the bear.
Jack the bear?
Yes. Jack is our son’s teddy bear. Our son (9) has three of the exact same bear – all gifts from family. Fischer Price made this bear years ago, and on his collar, Fischer Price named him Jack.
Jack was my Dad’s name. My Dad never met our son. He passed away from early onset, rapid progression Alzheimer’s disease in 2001.
Anyway, our son lets me travel with the one with the torn ears.
What started as a cute little idea to help me feel connected to our son while I travel the globe, has turned into something a little more. Jack is starting to report on his impressions from some of these places.
Here’s a quick one from Mexico. Take a look:
What does this have to do with exercise, fitness, health and wellness? If I have to explain it, it won’t make sense, but it revolves around balance – the whole person, not just the body.
