Not Sure Where To Start

I don’t even know where to begin, sitting in my car here at Gold’s Gym, this morning.

What do you do?  When you’re really busy and you desperately want to workout, but your schedule and all your other life commitments are clamoring for your attention.  What do you do?

This is one of life’s truth’s – life is hard.

And one more – an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion.

Anyway, none of you will have the guts courage to comment on the question here.  But I still love ya.

Seriously, without you, Lane 8 doesn’t matter that much, does it?

Actually, it makes all the difference in the world to my Family.  And if they are the only one’s who are helped by Lane 8, that’ll be enough.

PS.  Why the stronger tone this morning?  Because, sitting here in the car, listening to ZRadio, I’m actually trying to kick my own ass butt.

Great physical health doesn’t happen by wishing.  It happens by doing it.  Find a million ways to get and stay motivated, or you’re doomed.  Carpe diem.

Lane 8 Is Gaining Weight

Lane 8 is gaining weight.  Why?  You really wanna know?

For the same reasons everyone (mostly) gains weight.

This is why I think it’s so important to focus on our health goals everyday. In a matter of a few days or a couple weeks, I can gain enough weight to notice a change.

We are taught to embrace change, where I’m from.  And change is really the only constant.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.

But I have to tell ya, I hate gaining weight.  If it were easy to not gain weight, we’d all have one less thing to worry about now wouldn’t we? Let’s be healthy, and strong, today. Ya with me?

The Art of Health

The art of health is not something I’ve ever heard people refer to, much less talk about with any depth or consistency.  Why?

Great question.  Why do you think?

I’d like to invite you readers, and I know you’re out there, to get involved with Lane 8 and feel comfortable leaving comments.  No expectations that you leave comments, but hope that you will.

Been blogging daily at Lane 8 for seven months or so and can’t say with certainty that I’ve made it crystal clear that comments are more than welcome.  In fact, in the grand scheme, comments will help shape a sense of Healthy Community, as we all deal with our health and wellness challenges.

PS. One of the risks of blogging, if you aren’t aware, is how vulnerable and exposed the blogger becomes. Maybe there’s an art to healthy blogging.  Maybe not. 🙂

Lane 8 Patience Is Genius

“Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience”. — Gerorges Louis Leclerc de Buffon

Isn’t it amazing how impatient we can be? It certainly is to me.  Whenever I start to think patience has been mastered, another unexpected test comes along.  One that tests my patience in new ways.

And these tests come out of nowhere.  And many times, from extremely innocent surroundings,  when we least expect it.

“You can not teach patience with impatience”. — jeff noel

You will never succeed at overcoming your wellness challenges if you are impatient.  This is one of the fundamental laws of self improvement.  One of the hardest lessons I’ve ever had to learn.
