Not exercising because?

Eagle Scout medal
Be prepared sounds so cliche.

 

Not exercising because?

Because it’s an absurd proposition.

Not exercising because we are out of shape is as ridiculous as saying, i’m not showering because i’m dirty.

Absurd.

Yet this is the bull crap conversation we have with ourselves.

Again, absurd.

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow

Disney Custodial Cast Member
Yesterday while exiting Epcot. You can’t keep a Park clean by dreaming.

 

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.

Yesterday i didn’t say, “I’ll exercise tomorrow”.

And today i look back on yesterday and say, “That eight-mile run and core workout at Gold’s was a great investment”.

If you can dream it, you can do it. This is not true unless you make it so. Quotes are meaningless without a lifetime of dedicated effort.

If we quit we will never know

Yesterday morning.

Yesterday, a Sunday.

 

If we quit we’ll never know.

Have given much thought to canceling the trip to France in two weeks.

The Father’s Day injury has literally cancelled the last 40 days of training. Even if i’ve recovered from the injury, the lost conditioning and strength edge i had is gone.

If i quit i’ll never know.

So i haven’t quit, in spite of the (unnecessary) impending embarrassment from weak performance.

Each day it’s the same two choices

Toddler chalk art on sidewalk
Photo from three days ago. As kids, walking took too long, so we ran.

 

Each day it’s the same two choices.

  1. Step forward with a healthy conviction about our personal responsibility for being active, eating well, and resting well.
  2. Step back into the (delusional) safety of our comfort zone of apathy, indifference, and excuses.

It really is this simple.

Either choice is sustainable for a lifetime.

What if we don’t have enough wherewithal?

Disneyland Dream Suite
Everyone should have an impossible wellness dream.

 

Without a powerful, clear, concise, and compelling personal wellness vision, there’s no way to fight off the relentless demands on our time and energy. There’s not enough ammunition to slay the “quitting” dragon.

Not enough wherewithal to become an example, rather than a warning.
