No one outside of Disney wants to believe this

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Mastery, or perceived mastery, only comes from being intentional where others are unintentional or oblivious.

 

Somewhere around 2003, i remember Lenn Millbower and Debbie Zmorenski – two passionate Disney Institute colleagues – were having a breakroom conversation about the Atkins diet.

Neither of them included me in their conversation.

i asked them why they didn’t involve me.

They said, “You don’t need to worry about your weight.”

i humbly replied, “i worry about my weight every day, maybe that’s why it seems i don’t.”

PS. Mary Flynn – one of Disney Institute’s all-time great storytellers, a colleague, author, and wise friend – is the originator of the original version of the quote above. i added the word “hard” to her original version, so i can’t take any credit for the original vibe. i will suggest, however, that i was the catalyst for making it a household phrase at Disney Institute.

Three-hour workouts feel like recess

Three-hour workouts feel like recess lately.

Why?

Weight is down to 157.

Our high school weight is often called our ideal weight.

Getting close.

It fits well.

PS. Take care of your mouth like you mean it.

Why?

Church pancake breakfast
So much food on our plates.

 

This morning.

Heaviest i’ve been since i can’t remember when.

Why?

Like everything in life, there is an ebb and flow.

Figure out how to thrive in constantly changing conditions.

164.5 (yikes)/8.0

i knew it!

Lizard on Castaway Cay
Hard to find overweight animals in the wild.

 

Disney's Castaway Cay
This was our spot yesterday on Castaway Cay.

 

Aqua Duck
Um, yeah, this is what 163.5 pounds feels like to me.

 

i knew it!

Gained weight.

And this fact is exacerbated because i boarded the Disney Fantasy heavier than my ideal healthy weight.

And so it goes.

The road to excellence has no finish line.

PS. We tend to our finances because we can tell the difference between having financial breathing room versus being strapped financially. Body weight is simply a telling metric, like our checkbook balance (and our blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, the number of hours we sleep each night, etc).
