Go bold or go home

i quit sugar
i quit sugar and will place a bead in the bead jar for every consecutive week/weekend i abstain. Yesterday bead #2 went in the jar.

Go bold or go home.

There’s nothing wrong with settling.

Except.

Except for the whining from people about how hard it is to get by.

Any idea how difficult this is?

Note to self: Go big or go home. And stop complaining how much sugar has a hold on you.

Sometimes it was both days

inspirational quote
Yes. Shedding alcohol and caffeine was hard, like literally impossible. Yet the freedom is glorious. Sugar is next.

 

Made it through the weekend without sugar.

This is a milestone.

For the past year i’ve allowed myself one weekend day as a dessert-day.

Sometimes it was both days.

Sometimes, like the recent Goucher College visit, it was dessert every day, including multiple desserts in one day, every day.

i quit sugar, October 2018

inspirational quote
Yes. Being free from the pull of alcohol and caffeine is insanely freeing. Sugar is next.

 

Peyton Manning’s recent Orlando keynote speech contained two hidden gems that he credits for his remarkable success.

  1. Aggressive discipline
  2. Relentless preparation

The article was reaped from a Google Alert i sowed years ago for Orlando Keynote Speakers.

Life’s priorities come in strange packages

Apple Watch stopwatch
We ran together for the first time since Cross Country started six weeks ago.

 

Yesterday’s easy-pace 5k around the neighborhood was only his third 5k without walking. The first two were in competitions. He finished last and third from last, respectively.

i told him how much he inspires me because he doesn’t quit. Of all his teammates, i believe he has the most reasons to want to quit.

The priority is developing the awareness, the desire, and the commitment to reap the benefits from an active versus inactive lifestyle.

Don’t quit is so cliche’

Sanibel sunset
While watching the Sanibel sunset, i did a 180 and saw this.

 

Don’t quit is so cliche’.

Common sense isn’t the same thing as conventional wisdom.

Common sense is an irrefutable truth.

Conventional wisdom often disregards common sense, because common sense is so difficult.

Don’t quit.

Good luck with that.
