(photo: Christmas Eve and Christmas day are very, very busy days for most.)
No run yesterday. No gym the day before either.
Sometimes our schedules just need ironing out more than our bodies.

Merry Christmas 2014 from Lane 8
(photo: Yesterday’s Christmas Eve run and Florida Wild Turkeys overcoming another of a million obstacles.)
Keep it simple means many things to many people. Mostly it’s an auto-response wish list item we summon when we are stressed.
And the auto-reply is always the same, “Next year”.
This year is last year’s “next year”.
Merry Christmas 2014 from Lane 8.

Identify and fight the temptations
(photo: Yesterday’s run was one hour. Followed by a 10-minute cool-down walk. Never made it to the gym though.)
At lunch yesterday, the friend said he’s gained 60 pounds.
His life is hard.
(Shhh, don’t want anyone to feel bad, but everyone’s life is hard.)
Try to imagine being asked to permanently carry a 60-pound back pack. Twenty-four seven.
Until we want something as desperately as our next breath, it ain’t gonna happen. Not the impossible stuff anyway.
Figure it out.
This isn’t a cruel statement, it’s truth.
We are the CEO of our life.

Your answer will mirror your actions
(photo: CLEF also tested ‘forget passwords’ and ‘find passwords’…. this phrase won by a margin of 40:1)
What if we could forget, find, or f@*k excuses?
Our habits literally shape us.
When was the last time we exercised?
Now look in the mirror.
See that?
Your answer will mirror your actions.
You really are old enough and smart enough to know that either:
- your excuses are invalid
- your efforts are a great investment
You are the CEO of You, Inc.
Period.
PS. We must fight like hell for our health one way or another.

Not enough time to exercise is occasionally acceptable
(photo: Orlando WordPress Word Camp 2014 main auditorium at the Rosen College of Hospitality. The first arrivals.)
Not enough time to exercise is occasionally acceptable. Like if you’re sick, or if there’s a big once-a-year conference in your hometown.
Ok, so sick seems legit. You knew what day the conference was, right?
Work around it or creatively compromise.
