Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
There are two ways to look at our bodies.
As a temple.
As a burden.
How is it with you?
Betcha Lane 8 scares, annoys, angers and otherwise does just about everything it can to challenge those few brave souls that have the guts to keep coming back.
A challenge to find a purpose for being healthy. Don’t look for a reason. Find a purpose.
Well begun is half done.
Well, I haven’t done everything. I haven’t ever said it’s acceptable to be unhealthy.
This Everyday Health article shares six really common sense, and practical, tips for focusing on our sleep.
These things are painful to contemplate aren’t they?
Sleep, fiber, exercise, flexibility, colonoscopy, healthy body weight (BMI), cholesterol.
It is a sincere hope that you will appreciate Lane 8’s daily push (or maybe it’s a pull). In his wonderful book about living, which he wrote as he was dying, Randy Pausch cautioned us to not hate people who nag us.
They nag us because they love us. Start to worry when they stop pushing or pulling you to do better or differently.
Do you get that? I’m not trying to show off. I’m just trying to show.
It can be done. You can do it. But you have to want it. And you have to want it bad.
This Everyday Health article showcases the strategy for using fiber to help with weight loss.
Ever struggle with your motivation to exercise or with making smart food choices?
(If you said no, you’re lying)
Yesterday while at Gold’s Gym Orlando, I asked one of the staff, “What is it that makes some people commit to exercise for a lifetime and others quit after a few weeks?”
What do you think? How would you answer it?
I suggested that we can not do it for ourselves, we must do it for someone else. If we fail, we only let ourselves down. But if we do it for someone else and we fail, we let them down.
The other person challenged my rational (which is exciting), and in the speed of the day, neither one of us, in this casual conversation, really had a desire to debate this further at that moment.
Yet on the drive home, what I had been trying to say was revealed. We need to be a role model for great health habits. This is the secret that eludes people.
You must be someone’s role model, for life. This means you can not fail. There is no greater motivation.
If this is flying over your head, you’re at huge risk to miss this simple, but compelling health secret.
What does it take, day after day, to stay motivated?
That’s really the difference between a casual approach and a committed approach.
You knew that, right?
If you don’t dream big (like for the rest of your life), you lose.
Big is not:
Big is only one thing:
Got it?
Good. Enjoy your food and your exercise today.
