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.

You’re body is only as good as…

  • The exercise you do
  • The food you eat
  • The sleep you get

Win some, lose some, keep going

Perhaps in less time than every 68 seconds, a high school graduate decides to never again exercise.

Win some, lose some, keep going.

Lose the battle but win the war.

Staying active is proverbial winning the war.

Not exercising on this trip is losing the proverbial battle.

Traveling, cold weather, commitments and adjusting to a new routine all make exercise more challenging.

We know this.

Yet we try to overcome it.

We often fail more than succeed at this.

Let it go.

Soon enough you’ll be home again.

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.

 

Few things in life are as powerful as vibrant health

After Golds, another 21k bike ride home.

 

Few things in life are as powerful as vibrant health.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

It’s your responsibility.

Wishing it would have happened in the past?

First look as we drive east to Rising Sun.

 

Imagine your health being in direct relationship to your family’s health history. Now, look into the future at the you you are destined to become. What will you most likely have wished you had done, or started to do, when you are your current age (today)?
