A second huge milestone in 3 weeks.

It was April 2000 and a Disney Institute colleague and i were discussing how out of shape we were.

i said to Bob, “Hey, can you do one pushup?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, let’s do one pushup a day for a week and the second week do two pushups a day. And keep adding one more pushup for each week we do this.”

He was out after three weeks.

i thought i’d be lucky to last that long too.

Made it 104 weeks.

Also added turtle-pace jogging, to the neighbor’s mailbox.

Mailboxes are 100 meters apart.

Jog one “mailbox” a day for a week. Second week, two mailboxes. And so on.

So yeah, it’ll be 17 consecutive years of physical wellness.

Told the CEO he sets a great example by making exercise a priority

Golds Gym Orlando
Yesterday December 5, 2016.

 

Did the workout “backwards” again.

Same workout as always for the past 10 years, but in reverse order.

A simple way to immediately make it fresh.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

What good does not exercising bring us?

Many of us eat like we are intentionally loading calories in preparation for an extensive workout or race.

Bicycling Magic Kingdom and Disney University

Magic Kingdom Christmas tree 2016
Yesterday required a trip to Magic Kingdom and to Windermere Town Hall.

 

Yesterday was not a run day, but the opportunity to bicycle was appealing because of meetings at Disney University, Magic Kingdom, and Windermere Town Hall, plus refreshingly cooler weather. All told it lasted 4 hours and covered 33k.

Biking at a leisurely pace was almost like being on vacation.

The fact so much work was accomplished made it a perfect combination.

i’d like more days like this.

Being an entrepreneur, they are hard to come by in the early years.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Literally shut out by the travel disruption

Fall tree colors
Out for a walk yesterday in Allentown, PA.

 

Fall tree colors
We walked and talked, and stopped for a few photos.

 

Literally shut out by the travel disruption. No exercise to speak of on Friday or yesterday (Monday). Did get a 5k walk in yesterday, so that was better than nothing.

Take what we can get when the going gets tougher.

And always always always…keep moving (forward).
