Again with the you don’t need to worry about it

Apple fascinates people like few other businesses can

 

Spent yesterday in class with 30 extraordinarily bright business people learning why being insanely intentional about the operational details of a business is key to outperforming the competition.

And then during a break, in the midst of a casual hallway conversation, “But you don’t need to worry about your weight”.

Knowing full well it would fall on deaf ears, said it anyway, “I worry about my weight every single day, and am insanely intentional about the details, that’s why it looks like there’s no need to worry”.

Sigh.

And then smile.

She said she doesn’t have a weight scale in her house

Belle and Lumiere at intimate Disney character greeting
What responsibility do we have to be honest with our friends? With ourselves?

 

She said she doesn’t have a weight scale in her house. A moment before she said someone had made her day by asking if she was losing weight. She said she has been trying for so long (years?), and was thrilled someone had noticed.

She also said when she goes to the doctor she closes her eyes when stepping on the scale.

So you weigh yourself like once or twice a year?

How can we improve what we do not measure?

Forget everything you’ve been told about getting healthy and start with a blank page in 2014.

Then start ridiculously slow with one caveat – you will never (ever) stop being active.

How is it possible to go another year not exercising he said to himself?

Everyday he thinks about the glorious temple he’s been given. It houses everything that keeps him alive.

In 1999 I had had enough and began doing one push up a day and running one mailbox (about 100 meters) a day.

The Saturday night Mall population walking by has a much lower BMI

Mall of Millenia. Orlando, Florida. Saturday night 8:30pm.

Apple Store visit to repair iPhone 5 – screen anomaly.

With 30 minutes to wait, found a nice seat and fired up the Mac. By the way, the next earliest Genius appointment is 72 hours away, so Saturday night it is.

Can’t help but notice the Saturday night Mall population walking by has a much lower BMI than what I observe in airports during the day.

Travel is way less optional than Saturday night Mall walking – just like activity is way less optional than sitting around at home.
