A hole so deep it scares hope away

Quote about our body
From i love to run Facebook page.

 

Yesterday morning and this morning i’ve weighed in at the heaviest in several years.

i don’t like it.

And it reminds me how challenging wellness is.

Note: It’s always challenging, even when you are maintaining. But failing to maintain reminds you that your daily, determined efforts mean something.

Because without the daily focus (and struggle), you can quickly dig yourself into a hole deep enough to scare you out of having hope.

Noticers see things others could see but don’t

During yesterday’s 10-miler, there were occasional glances up.

 

Noticers see things others could see but don’t. Neither good nor bad. It just is.

The question we can ask, “Does it matter?”

We wouldn’t miss our medication

We wouldn’t miss our medication, probably because it’s easy to swallow a pill.

Not until we see exercise as our (preventative) medication will we have the same sense of obligation.

A run and a gym visit.

The Doc has prescribed the strongest dose allowed by the FDA.

Please don’t bore us with what you are going to do differently

Lonesome country road in the fog
The loneliness of the daily commitment to lifetime wellness.

 

Please don’t bore us with what you are going to do differently this year.

Instead, surprise, delight, and inspire with what you’ve already done.

Hope is a great strategy, but it is a poor tactic.
