Movement is a fav

Beach
Sanibel. Looking West, but early in the morning. In 12 hours or so, from this exact vantage, an orange fireball will be dipping into the Gulf of Mexico.

Favorites give meaning to everything else.

You do not need permission, nor acceptance, to decide what you think is important.

Like a fish

Chair on the driveway
Dripping with sweat most of the day. Pounding water like my life depends on it.

Sweating is a privilege.

dad

There is something about sweating that is primal.

There is something about primal that is special.

As if our body is ours to command.

Is your physical performance excellent?

Two people on a dirt pile
(Reusing this photo): One dump truck load. Countless wheelbarrow loads. Seemingly infinite shovel fulls. A single human. Ps. Already made a significant dent in this pile which doesn’t show up well in the photo.
Small dirt pile in a homeowner yard
Getting there.

Wisdom teaches me to make everything the gym.

10+ miles ain’t nothin’

Apple Watch fitness app screenshot
Leisurely 5-mile Monday morning walk together. Then bike 3 miles round-trip to the eye doctor. Then walk another 5 miles in the yard doing yard work.

Spend as much time outside as you can.

dad

Outside for 13 hours today. In the shade from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

Not once did i need to go inside to cool off with the AC.

Worst case physically

Two guys at the base of a palm tree
Shirt soaked in sweat. Love it. Squatting like this was humankind’s first portable chair. Tree guy (Karl) is teaching simply by allowing me to observe. Sun is setting. Been outside since sunrise.

Worst case physically for most people is they are fast-tracking to a chronic health condition(s).

dad

This morning i read Chris Brogan’s once-a-week post he emails every Sunday.

Chris’s post today is about metrics and asking the right question(s).

Chris said a phrase that caught my attention. In this phrase he is specifically talking about body weight.

His (seemingly) insightful question is simple…

Am I gaining weight or losing weight?

An easy metric to calibrate. You are or you aren’t.

Immediately (instantaneously) i asked, Do you even know what your ideal body weight is?

Because if you do, the most insightful question you can ask (every morning, week, month) is this…

Yes or no, am i at my ideal body weight?
