It’s only impossible until the first person does it

Healthiest Community in USA
After the 5k the other day…

 

 

Traveling four days this week, doing work that matters.

The hotel and the venue are four miles apart.

In a perfect world, i’ll be walking to and from the venue two of the days.

We’ll see.

Someone in each of the six learning sessions will be the healthiest person in the room.

It’s not a context nor a competition.

But it is still something that can be measured.

Live like you mean it.

To eat, rest, and move with great expectation is glorious

Cozumel Jeep excursion
“Mayan ruin” in Cozumel. Your body is the temple housing everything keeping you alive.

 

To eat, rest, and move with great expectation is glorious.

Knowing you are intentionally creating lifetime wellness habits frees you from the burden of being unintentional and at risk.

Sure, there are always risk factors, but the ones emanating from poor wellness choices are non-issues for you.

Recently won a bronze medal at the Masters Track & Field Indoor World Championships

Prolific Bloggers
Lane 8 is the worst lane in the 400-meter sprint. The slowest runner is placed there.

 

In April 1999, i began running one mailbox a day for a week.

Each new week for many months i’d add an additional mailbox.

Mailboxes in my neighborhood are 100 meters apart.

So in four weeks for example, i was running 400 meters total without stopping – the equivalent of one lap around a High School track.

Pretty impressive, right?

In 2002 i ran my first 5k.

In 2005, i competed in my first Masters Track event in Orlando.

i got hooked on the karma older athletes demonstrate.

Fast forward a decade and i represented USA in the M50-54 age group at 400 meters at the 2009 Masters Track & Field Outdoor World Championships in Finland.

Finished as the World’s 43rd fastest M50-54 400-meter sprinter.

Telling you that to provide context for this…

Recently won a bronze medal at the Masters Track & Field Indoor World Championships.

Do you get giddy for your blood work results?

quest diagnostics portal
2018 is missing because it’s been two weeks since the blood draw…have been waiting so anxiously and was concerned the bloodwork report got messed up or lost.

 

Do you get giddy for your blood work results?

Probably a no for most of us – at least for me for the past decade – ever rising cholesterol.

Is it possible to reverse our yearly results-anxiety?

Yes, for example…

Concerned enough to try better habits over the past couple years.

These assorted eating habit changes led to a dramatically different cholesterol report last year.

Dramatic.

Shocking.

Inspiring.

Total cholesterol under 200 and LDL under 130 for the first time in at least a decade.

Factors:

  • eliminate sugar
  • dramatically increase fresh fruit intake
  • eliminate fast food
  • drastically reduced processed food intake
  • virtually eliminate protein bars (was eating four a day)
  • dramatically increase super-food intake (avocados, certain berries and nuts)

Yesterday’s results yielded highest HDL (71) ever and lowest LDL (102) ever.
