At what point do adults shun regular exercise?

Basketball score board
Day to day, do you keep score?

 

It dawned on me last night as we watched the High School basketball game – many of the parents were athletes when they were in high school.

Every athlete on the floor last night played with lightning-fast reflexes and boundless energy.

At what point do adults shun regular exercise?

Why?

And what would their world be like if they didn’t?

Even though it was Saturday

The steepest setting.

 

Even though it was Saturday, and i hadn’t seen my Family in four days, i invested an hour for exercise – on the way home from the airport.

Balance doesn’t come with a perfect formula.

Do what you have to do

Candy
Trashed it all.

 

Bought a bag of candy for Halloween yesterday. Ate one thing which led to another, and another, and even more.

Poured half the bag into a bowl for Trick-or-Treaters and threw away the other half.

We had zero visitors and at bedtime i poured the bowl into the trash.

Seem wasteful?

In my book, eating too much candy is wasteful.

Do what you have to do.

Why?

Because you have to live with your choices.

We generally stay here the final night of each trip because it is the closest “in-Park” accommodation to the airport.

This morning, after spending four full days on the road.

156.5 pounds.

7.4 hours of sleep last night.

i track it daily using Apple’s Notes app.

Why?

To be mindful of where i stand the past 24 hours and to be mindful of patterns (aka habits).

Knowing both of these allows me to stay the course and/or correct the course.

Otherwise, i, like many Americans, are on a crash course with their personal health.

Fix your health, then start worrying about someone else.

Life’s great curve ball

cold weather running in Orlando
Taking a second, and extended, running break to rest my chronic foot pain. Bicycling in cold December weather instead.

 

Life’s great curve ball.

When bending over to pick something up is no longer easy.

When pain won’t go away in places we never had pain before.

What role does nutrition, activity, and rest play in our aging experience?

What are we doing today in response to our answer to the question?
