Looking forward to this morning’s 40k

Red Carpet for Cast Members only
Red Carpet treatment for Cast Members and their Guests to celebrate their years of Disney Service. Fall 2014.

 

Took last Friday (three days ago) off from working out to do a college visit.

We walked roughly 15 miles in 24 hours, so there’s that.

And we ate well too.

Two-hour flight, seven-mile walk

Apple Watch activity app
This was the warm up mileage at noon. Didn’t start app until we had finished walking through two big airports.

 

Goucher college tour
Walking tour of campus at 230pm.

 

Two-hour flight, seven-mile walk.

Up at 3:30am.

Drive to airport at 5am.

Arrive Baltimore 8:45am.

We walked at least seven miles back and forth between hotel and campus.

It’s safe to add another three miles for the airport walking.

Ten-mile day.

A decent compromise from the typical Friday 25-mile bike ride.

We drove four hours to dinner yesterday.

And before that, i logged a nine-mile, one-way bike ride from the local Shopping complex.

Three options:

  1. Drive our van there and load bike in van. Drive home. (no exercise)
  2. Walk to shop, bike home. (not enough time)
  3. Uber to shop, bike home. (a decent compromise)

i can’t and i won’t are enemies

Motivational speakers
Anyone can write a book and self-publish it, but most won’t. Photo: Summer 2017 in Glacier National Park…Lake McDonald in the background with smoke from a forest fire. i am an expert in fear and doubt – it took me 30 years to write the first sentence, two more to finish, and then an additional two more years to have the courage to publish.

 

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

What do you think a CEO is supposed to do?

Why?

Let me guess.

Your answer is the one you’ve been taught to regurgitate.

But you’re balking.

What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid of going off alone?

Everyone knows straying from the well-worn path, the “tried and true academic recipe”  may lead to failure.

But not straying may lead to regret.

Which do you fear more?

Pick the toughest battle.

Fight regret.

And remember…

i can’t and i won’t are enemies.

i can’t works insidiously to pose as i won’t.

You can’t or you won’t.

Which one is it?

Every morning i weigh myself twice, to ensure accuracy.

i log that, plus the number of hours i slept.

Using the Notes App on the iPhone, it gets loaded into the cloud and it can be accessed from any of my devices.

It’s permanent and a paperless record – to help me see progress as well as identify causes and effects.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.
