Didn’t feel it yesterday

Didn’t feel it yesterday.

Went out for an eight-mile run, which generally begins with a half-mile walk. Kept walking, for an hour. Just couldn’t get the juice to shift to running mode.

Hours later at the gym, backed off the normal routine and just did core.

The toll of tremendous creative effort – that has deadline and monetary pressure – can physically wear on a person.

Sleep is a commonly neglected battle

Yesterday i caught the time at a fun time. Getting decent rest is not as easy as 1, 2, 3.

 

Sleep is a commonly neglected battle. Caffeine (and other drug) consumption, unlimited entertainment options, stress, pressure – over time – slowly erode our sleep habits. As CEO of You, Inc, this is your responsibility to address and correct. Even if it takes years.

PS. This is me talking to me. The battle to overcome excuses and never-ending challenges is real.

You are off the hook and will no longer be bothered

Near the top, “You’ve been successfully unsubscribed”.

 

What if it said, “You’ve been successfully unsubscribed from all self-led health and wellness initiatives. You will no longer have to worry about staying active and well.”

You can’t improve what you don’t measure

Miles vs kilometers.

 

Miles vs kilometers. Heading to Canada in five days.

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

And you can’t improve what you don’t do.

Distance is only one way to track progress.

Other ways:

Time

Weight

BMI

Resting heart rate

Cholesterol

Flexibility

Core strength

Commitment

Passion

Joy

i always say, “Find a million ways to stay motivated.”

Perception outweighs reality

Yesterday morning, a spontaneous photo – a metaphor on so many levels.

 

The High School Math teacher asked how i stay so fit. The French teacher said, “I see you running everyday.”

Truth be told, i run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

To stay fit (since 1999) i run, walk, go to the gym, stretch, sleep decently, and make (mostly) good food choices for quality and quantity, and i find a million ways to stay motivated.

The last one, i forgot to mention to them.
