i have a dirty little secret for everyone

High School basketball playoffs — Is this good news or not so good?

Exercise is often seen as something only certain people can enjoy.

i have a dirty little secret for everyone.

It’s a myth.

i don’t always love exercising.

In fact, there are days, weeks, months, and even years, where more than 50% of the time i don’t feel like doing it.

Excuses are invalid.

Didn’t feel like doing it

Biking near Walt Disney World — Real life in real time. Post written 100 days ago. Photo taken one day ago.

Didn’t feel like doing it.

What?

Run.

But you love running.

Not in the dark, not in the cold, and not when other responsibilities are pressuring me for attention.

In spite of those, i ran anyway.

Why?

My health is something i’m willing to protect.

Skipping a run makes it easier to skip a second run. Skipping a second makes the third skip easier too.

Deadly.

Distractions are the devil’s way of saying, “Don’t worry about it today”

Walt Disney partners statue — The devil often comes disguised as something good or logical.

Distractions are the devil’s way of saying, “Don’t worry about it today.”

Failure is a great teacher

Service process failure — i love Walgreens. Last night reinforced how challenging it is to be excellent 100% of the time. Notice the two red signs in the bottom corners.

Failure is a great teacher.

Taking risks is a predictable path to failure.

If you want a great teacher, become friends with taking risks (and failure).

Untreated allergies makes it challenging to thrive

BFO (blinding flash of the obvious)… Staying motivated looks easy for motivated people. It’s not. Not until an object gets in, and stays in, motion. We build our reputation based on one of two things:

Excuses
Tenacity

i get two monthly allergy injections, one in each arm. But (a long list of ~~excuses~~ reasons) i stopped getting allergy injections nearly a year ago.

Discovered yesterday that my last injections were March 2015. Today is Feb 4, 2016.

Seeing Doctor Bagg today to get back up the horse.

i was so consistent for perhaps 10 years.

i thought i had licked my allergies.

Big mistake.

My allergies to plants, pollens, certain foods, as well as a few miscellaneous items like dust mites, are debilitating.

i forget this fact.

Now it’s back to weekly injections. Yes, weekly. And i need three shots instead of two – allergic to more than before.

It takes close to a year to build up to monthly maintenance shots.

Live and learn.
