Nervous?

USATF membership stickers
Never use these stickers, but enjoy a quiet satisfaction knowing that being a lifelong member is one of a million ways i use to stay motivated to move well, eat well, and rest well.

Nervous about tomorrow’s mammogram and ultrasound test results?

Of course.

But i surrender to what i have no control over.

First time ever

hand-written notes on a post it note
First appointment at closest Hospital is 2.5 weeks from now. Raquel found an appointment further away but it’s in four days.

Mammogram and ultrasound in a few days.

Waited four weeks for swelling to disappear. Hasn’t happened.

No known injury. No pain.

But somethin’ ain’t right.

Wisdom comes from experience

Pre was a rebel. Rebels make mistakes. The greatest rebels learn from them and become better rebels.

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

After six decades, the tipping point has been reached. You can and should continue to exercise rigorously. Just remember that your equipment is well worn. You must get smarter at working out hard. This is new territory.

Chronic physical issues

Our home is in this photo. So is Magic Kingdom and the North Services Area (NSA). NSA means nothing to outsiders. Cast Members know it’s the home of Disney University, Magic Kingdom Cast Parking, Central Shops, Monorail Roundhouse, Ride & Show Engineering, the first Textile Service Plant, etc.

Chronic physical issues define your future.

Chronic issues also foreshadow your life’s quality in the final decades.

Decades.

One, two, or even three decades of poor wellbeing habits compounding over time.

The reverse of compound interest is compound decline.

Wonderful news, the reverse of compound decline is compound increase.

Compounding for one, two, or even three decades with great wellbeing habits.

Perfectly, physically, crazy

Fish out of water. Most people are. Americans struggle with obesity. Having physical vibrancy while obese is like a fish out of water. It’s not natural. Guarantee you i’d be obese if it wasn’t for learning, doing, and teaching Disney’s business excellence standards.

Perfectly, physically, crazy.

Yep, love this too.

Cardio, strength, rest, nutrition, core, flexibility, motivation.

Pro tip and a crazy insight: Most important one is motivation.
