Lane 8 Food Pyramid

Eat More Cheesecake?
Eat More Cheesecake?

Anyone out there disagree that diet and exercise are a good way to control and maintain decent health?

Anyone not heard of the Food Pyramid?

Okay, so these things are well-known common knowledge, right?

What’s at the base, the foundation, of the the food pyramid?

Then explain to me please, why is it that people will pick apart a sandwich and eat the meat and discard the bread?

Not trying to make anyone feel bad, I’m seriously trying to understand this. It confusing and bewildering.

Do these people know something that the rest of the scientific nutritional world is clueless to?

Find A Million Ways

Who is going to motivate you to reach your goals?

We really have to give serious attention to this question.

It’s what’s known as a non-negotiable question.

You must have an answer or you will fail.

Period.

Why must we have an answer?

Because things will get difficult.

And difficulty will happen repeatedly.

Over and over again.  Until we die.

The antidote?

Find a million ways.

Darn It

Dream Big.  Get Started.  Never Stop.
Dream Big. Get Started. Never Stop.

Haven’t run in five (5) days.

How is that possible?

Mister “you have to find a way” or your doomed, Mr. Internet five-a-day blogger, Mr practice what you preach, Mr. self-appointed wellness expert.

Yeah, tell us why you have “failed” this week.

First of all, who am I to be calling myself such names, with that stern tone?

Ease up already mister.

There is an inherent challenge with an impossible goal.

It is, well, quite literally, impossible.

To think that we could consistently get regular exercise for the rest of our lives is preposterous.

Rubbish.

It can happen.  It will happen.  It is happening.

Went to the gym for strength and core training last night.  And, after a few commitments this morning (I’m Off today), I’ll go for a run.

Dream big.  Get started.  Never stop.
