Yes. If you don’t know what this means, there’s still hope for you.
There are hundreds of ideas here at Lane 8.
But they are of no use if you don’t do something, like read them.
Here’s today’s biscuit.

Lane 8 Digestive Health
When do we think about our long term outcomes – from the food choices we make this week?
Um, well, uh, like never. Right?
Most of us can’t or don’t want to see that far, because it’s too much work. Or, we won’t give up today’s pleasure and convenience for tomorrow’s payoff – good digestive health.
Our son told me last Friday on the drive home from school that he had a “confession”. He doesn’t really like the bread (double fiber) we use to make his lunch sandwiches.
Grateful for the truth, but now what?
So last night on the way home from a doctor’s visit, I stopped to get some food items, including a different kind of bread, but with the same digestive goal – high fiber.
Blogging about health enhances accountability and increases motivation. Are you working on that too?
If not you, who? If not today, when? Seriously. Enjoy your lunch.
Lane 8 Health & Wellness Blog
Last night I experimented with a WordPress front page “sticky post”. This allows bloggers to indefinitely keep a certain blog post as the very first post. Like a sticky note.
If it works, regular Lane 8 readers will see the same “Welcome to Lane 8” post indefinitely. This is really for first time readers to give them a quick look at what Lane 8 is about. All you’ll have to do is simply scroll past it each time you visit, to get the daily Lane 8 post.
Do you experiment? At work? At home? With your diet? With your exercise routine? With your rest? With your motivation?
We all know that experimentation and creativity are the keys to innovation. What grade do you give yourself for practicing what you preach?
Anyone on the honor roll this semester?
Health Blogs
There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-million blogs on the Internet, and growing daily.
There are 221-million results if you Google “Health Blogs”.
What are all these health-blog people trying to say? Please let me summarize for you:
- Dream Big
- Get There
- Stay There
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
PS. Do your excuses make you stop or make you sick? Mine made me sick. Sick to think that I’m the only one responsible for my actions and I wasn’t doing anything about it, except making excuses.
Excuses be damned.
Gold’s Gym and Lane 8
Last night at Gold’s Gym Orlando in the Dr Phillips area, I meet Pleasant Lewis, the owner of several Central Florida Gold’s Gym facilities.
As a 50-year old, I struggle like everyone else, to find time and motivation to exercise.
This is one of life’s big truths. We all are given the same amount of time. Successful people figure it out, plan for set backs, never give up and they find a million ways to motivate themselves.
And sometimes, if not more often, the thought of, “Is this worth it?”, enters their mind.
Gold’s Gym, Lifestyle Litness, Bally’s, YMCA’s, all struggle too – with finding a way to inspire people to make a lifetime commitment of healthy living.
I proposed to Pleasant that I could help. We’ll see if “Goliath” has any interest in “David”.
Gym owners have the same challenge as their customers – finding time to do the important things that make a difference.
