No brakes

Apple Watch fitness app screen
Today’s walk. Also completed the traditional no-gym gym workout.

No brakes or no breaks?

No brakes means rolling down the highway with no brakes. Dangerous. Risky. Dumb.

It also means, to me, no brakes for living life to the fullest. Obviously subjective, and, decently inspiring.

i’m rolling down the next phase of the highway of life…

With no brakes.

Lovin’ it, too, by the way.

Finally, no breaks?

Yes, and…

Lining up a series of major “breaks” in life.

The next serious break in life happens in 11 days.

Not intending to “stick the landing” by April Fools Day.

Why?

Life goes on. The final, command decision, with years of consideration, happened kinda last minute. Perhaps less than a month ago.

How long do you plan for?

Apple watch
During this 3-hour excursion, walked seven miles. There were stops (clock keeps ticking) along the way for pull-ups, planks, dips, animal observations. The no-gym gym workout took an additional 20-30 minutes before leaving home to walk.

While walking this morning, thought of friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors who’ve committed to an exercise regime.

At least a 40-year observation.

And then some questions reflexively began, effortlessly:

  1. How long do you plan to exercise?
  2. How long do you plan to eat better?
  3. How long do you plan to get better rest?

There’s only one smart, over-focused answer.

i don’t even need to say it.

Move your buttocks

Move like you mean it.

Physically, of course.

And your mind.

Your thinking, move your thinking like it really matters.

Think, move, feel, work, and prioritize like your life depends on it.

You know why, right?

Because it does.

Big decisions, body

What would you do if your body could move and you loved moving it?

What would you do if your body could move and you loved inactivity?

Interesting time in life, body

Walked 5 miles before starting today’s yardwork. Today netted 10 miles walking.

Interesting time in life.

A few grey hairs were the first sign.

And back in the day, i’d meticulously search for and remove the one or two that i could find. Seems like this was early 30’s. So more than half my life ago.

Seems like “crow’s feet” was next. The wrinkle around your eyes.

Willie Nelson inspires me.

My focus is in aging well. Meaning, accepting and surrendering that which comes with time.

And in the same breath, maintaining vibrant “senior” physical health.

So far, my only prescription medicine is daily vitamin B and D pills.

Additionally, i’ve self prescribed daily movement, rest, and nutrition.
