Everyone thinks I exercise to stay healthy

Balance mental activity with physical activity
Balance mental activity with physical activity
How you stay active is up to you
How you stay active is up to you

When I think about the answer to the question most people never ask me, it goes something like this…

To teach is to learn twice. And to teach children is perhaps the greatest privilege (and responsibility) an adult will ever know.

This is why I exercise, eat decently, and strive for adequate rest.

Did You Arrive Here Via Mid Life Celebration?

What's your big dream? Mine is to change the way we pursue work life balance.

We’ve been conditioned to say it in this order: mind, body, spirit. And that’s the order I write. So before writing Lane 8’s daily post, I write Midlife Celebration’s post, which focuses on our attitude mind. This means Lane 8 revolves around our body – diet, exercise, rest.

Then after writing Lane 8’s post, I write at jeffnoel.org – our emotional core – our spirit. In fact, if you click on Blog below, you’ll go directly to the emotional/spirit blog.

Completely, Utterly Coincidental

Picking the obvious one should be easy.

A story huh? Well, my five blogs get written after I wake up but before heading out for a run and work. So there’s not much time – it’s completely, utterly, in the moment, with few exceptions.

After taking a quick glance at what I wrote yesterday, I wondered what the story was three years ago today. Talk about coincidence – it’s a decent story if I do say so myself.

Yeah, You Heard Me Correctly Yesterday

I check my weight everyday (except when I travel, because I have no scale).

So yeah my feet – practically a runner’s best friend – are feeling better than they have in a decade. What does this mean? It means patience is a virtue.

Please tell me (more importantly, tell yourself) you are still moving forward with your wellness and health commitment. Expect a story to emerge as the days go by. And if you want to share yours, have at it (no expectations, just an honest invite).

My Advice On Going From Zero To 60 In 2 Days?

It's not like the Olympics are this weekend.

Been following a close relative’s renewed desire to lose weight and start exercising. She asked for advice. Seems after day 2 of her exercise routine she got chills and other not so good side effects (flu-like symptoms).

My advice, slow down, way down. You should not do 30+ minutes on the treadmill plus 20+ minutes on a bike in you first week. What’s the rush? I hope when this posts in 90 days that there’s good news.
