Back on the horse

Workout app
Trivial, yet celebratory, the flexibility to alter the process and still be happy about it.

 

At Disney, we succeed because we focus on creating the right structure and processes, and improving or changing them as needed.

Running and a gym workout are not my Thursday routine,  but yesterday it was.

Will get back to M-W-F next week.

Being sick for 48 hours really hammers home how different it feels when you’re not feeling vibrant and well.

What is the primary goal of exercise?

Running app
Yesterday was a run, today is rest day.

 

Contrary to popular thinking (driven by the media), losing weight is not the primary goal from exercise.

Exercise’s primary goal is strength, endurance and range of motion.

Extra weight is unhealthy. At least it is for me.

Have trouble accepting this?

Fill a small backpack with 50 pounds of stuff and wear it 24/7 for one week. yes, wear it to bed, in the shower, even while exercising.

Tough, right?

Well, that’s happens over time. Gaining 50 pounds doesn’t happen overnight. Odds are decent that gaining another 50 pounds could happen in your next 10-20 years.

So imagine wearing a 100-pound backpack.

Excess weight is unhealthy. The primary goal for exercise is physical wellness. Secondarily, it can add joy, camaraderie, and confidence to your karma.

Changes in wellness, changes in attitude

Path to beach
End of run and now time for walk on beach.

 

Biking on Sanibel
Breakfast at Island Cow.

 

Changes in wellness, changes in attitude.

Totally, right?

Great wellness, great attitude.

Good wellness, good attitude.

Poor wellness, poor attitude.

Morning run before sunrise.

Bike ride to breakfast by 8am. Then bike back.

Then out to the beach for more writing.

i wonder if there’s a solution

Morimoto restaurant at Disney Springs
We decided to go out in public yesterday despite the terrorism.

 

Art at Morimoto restaurant at Disney Springs
Art on the wall next to the restrooms. Always wash your hands before dinner.

From the second floor.

 

Florida locals at Disney Springs
Under our exterior is an emotional ache that’s difficult to describe.

 

We had a decent walk yesterday before dinner.

i wonder if there’s a solution. Not to terrorism (yes, of course terrorism), but i mean, to pain.

The nagging, unpredictable lower right leg pain.

It flares up sometimes just walking.

Ride Forrest, ride

Balance
Riding through Hyatt Grand Cypress Golf Course yesterday at sunrise.

 

Ride Forrest, ride.

The classic scene (51 seconds) from Forrest Gump is here.

One week of no bicycling made yesterday morning’s 25-mile roundtrip ride to Gold’s Gym and back extra special.

Ride jeff, ride.

It’s the little things.
