Disney Employee Engagement Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Lunch like you mean it.
It was so tempting (for the second consecutive day) to eat the Take 5 candy bars on the kitchen countertop candy dish.
But i didn’t.
PS. The excuses i had rationalized were good – but i knew i’d regret caving to weakness.

No exercise yesterday, but also no desserts.
However, i did stand for at least eight hours, had a greatly reduced food intake, and spoke like i meant it yesterday.
Dinner was light as well.
Most middle-class Americans consume far too many daily calories.
So in the absence of traditional exercise, the standing and reduced calorie intake feels like a decent day physically – except for getting only five hours of sleep last night.

Somewhere around 2003, i remember Lenn Millbower and Debbie Zmorenski – two passionate Disney Institute colleagues – were having a breakroom conversation about the Atkins diet.
Neither of them included me in their conversation.
i asked them why they didn’t involve me.
They said, “You don’t need to worry about your weight.”
i humbly replied, “i worry about my weight every day, maybe that’s why it seems i don’t.”
PS. Mary Flynn – one of Disney Institute’s all-time great storytellers, a colleague, author, and wise friend – is the originator of the original version of the quote above. i added the word “hard” to her original version, so i can’t take any credit for the original vibe. i will suggest, however, that i was the catalyst for making it a household phrase at Disney Institute.

Eat what you want whenever you want.
Snack on these things in between meals…
Fruits.
Vegetables.
Nuts.
What if literally, everything we ate had no more than five ingredients?

In two more clicks you’ll be at jungle jeff – the work blog – and when you get there you’ll see a post more closely themed to here, Lane 8.
The reason the content is there and not here is simple.
While i compartmentalize mind-body-spirit-work-hq in five distinct website blogs, the reality is quite compelling – everything we do influences everything else we do.
Meanwhile, this morning’s thought here is this: i’m eating like i mean it to improve my health.
Which is the paradox of “diets to lose weight to be more healthy”. Diets require unattractive restrictions, unnatural eating habits, avoidance of certain foods you have loved eating your entire life, like sweets.
i gave up processed sugar but i did not give up sweets.
What the?
Fresh fruits.
i eat a ton of it, daily.
