You know the drill: lather, rinse, repeat

Lake McDonald — Stepping back a little wider and you start taking even deeper breaths, at least i do.

A more consistently healthy way to move, eat, and rest.

When?

If not today, when?

If not tomorrow, when?

If not ever, why?

You never hear people say, “I wish I would have waited longer to get started.”

You don’t realize how strong you were until you stop

Glacier National Park hike — Random photo from 2016 visit.

You don’t realize how strong you were until you stop.

A left shoulder injury two months ago, cause unknown, has eliminated several key upper-body exercises, namely pullups and pushups.

In just 60 days, i can feel the atrophy.

Now, imagine if the atrophy was from two years instead of two months.

Or how about two decades.

One of the million reasons we need to find our motivation to stay strong.

Writing helps me exercise, rest, and refuel

The paperwork of life — This photo is a reminder of how tax return paperwork threw this week out of balance.

Had to put several important things on the back burner yesterday in order to invest the three hours required to follow my doctor’s orders of regular exercise.

Had i skipped yesterday, the week would have netted only one exercise day.

Three days – Monday, Wednesday, Friday – at three hours each is the current routine.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

Writing every morning helps me process that fact.

Personal grooming is part of physical well being

Sport Clips new automated check in — Context; it’s on the counter where everyone checks in and checks out.

After dropping off our 2016 tax return paperwork, i drove to my Allergist for three monthly injections, then made a beeline for Sport Clips.

The relief i felt knowing the tax paperwork is almost a month ahead of the deadline (April 18 this year) did wonders for my wellness by slaying the silent killer – stress.

Three injections of allergens, monthly, boost my resistance to pollen which also enhances my wellness because i breathe easily and have none of the symptoms many struggle with in Spring.

Being pressed for time, the first thing i wanted to know at Sport Clips was where was i in the que – the waiting areas was full. The final photo answered the question beautifully. And again, my stress was reduced.

All of this took three hours.

It felt amazing to cross those items off as done, because i didn’t want to try to squeeze them into today’s (a Friday) schedule.

Modify to mitigate, no?

well water — Last night, this was on my mind.

Many of the common aging ailments might be mitigated if we modified our habits

Waking in the middle of the night to pee? Don’t drink anything past dinner time.

Not yourself in Spring? Perhaps allergy injections, versus over the counter medicine or a doctor visit when it gets severe

Awaken in the middle of the night? Stop caffeine use by 3pm.
