A thriver's guide to physical health and wellness
World-class tips, tactics, strategies and serious motivation
Not Truckers Country, Runners Country.
The way things worked out yesterday – impacting today – means I get to run this morning, making it three days of running in the past seven instead of two.
Bonus or addiction?
PS. My feet haven’t felt this good in 10 years. If you’re a regular from the beginning (’09), this means something’s up. If you’re newer, it still means the same thing, but you might not have any idea…

Asking too much, being too assertive, holding people accountable….great ways to scare people off – how to lose followers.
The word addiction (yesterday), it isn’t a pretty word. Addiction scares people, makes them uncomfortable. Think of your favorite inspirational movie….
It involved overcoming some huge conflict. I’ve come to embrace conflict as a tool, a gift.

If it were easy to quit, the word addiction wouldn’t have been invented.
This diet, losing weight, exercise and health blog is also about the less common health topics, like addiction….and will power…and support groups…and triumph!
Three strikes and you’re out. December 31, 2001 and I was up to bat….

Biggest party night in the world? The one celebration not wrapped around religious or political agendas, that has world-wide participation?
The biggest drinking night in the history of the world? Last night, New Year’s Eve.
When making the resolution, I did something very, very purposeful, sending a shiver down my spine….

Will President Obama quit? Can he quit? Better yet, why hasn’t he already quit?
Today, December 31, marks the first time I didn’t feed an addiction…it had been nearly 30 years in the making.
Have you ever overcome an addiction?

This Should Get Us Through Until Wednesday
Yeah, roughly 3,103 days of, “One day at a time”.
Three thousand days and nights.
Plus one hundred three more.
You know, more or less.
Somebody want to do the math? I picked the biggest drinking night in the entire world to quit (for the third time) – December 31, 2001.
This means December 30 was the final night.
I guess it had been nearly three decades.
December 31, 2001 was very surreal….
Busy, Busy, Dreadfully Busy
We hear it all the time don’t we?
“I’m just so busy, I don’t have time to exercise”.
Happens all the time doesn’t it. In fact, we’ve all been guilty of saying something like this. Which begs the next question.
When your health falters, then will you have time?
Ever know you know something important about yourself, but you either can’t quite put your finger on it, or, you simply don’t want to admit it?
Yeah, me too. So, with New Year’s Eve one day away, and the opportunity to resolve, finally, to do something great, here goes:
I hate being “unhealthy”.
And I hate it so much that I’m willing to do all the common sense things that healthy people do.
Common sense, but not common practice.
Not any more. Not this year. Ya with me? Is this your year?
Lane 8 is on the move. No, not to a Master’s Track and Field Meet. Good guess though.
Traveling to give a speech. That’s what I do. I’m a professional speaker.
Actually, I’ll speak anywhere to anyone, as long as it’s something I’m passionate about. Church, Parenting, Children’s Religious Education, Boy Scouts, Home Owner’s Association, Master’s Track and Field, Wellness, Fitness, Health, Mid Life Celebration, Impossible Goals, Blogging, Social Media, Social Networking, Addiction, Behavior Modification, Gardening.
So anyway, until social media policies are better defined, it is incumbent on employees to do their best with the interpretation of general guidelines. There are so many employees who where out ahead of corporate social media policies. So now, these companies have to play “catch up” to reign in what was never defined.
This will take some time, and companies are being decently patient, by allowing their employees to make the changes that the new guidelines call out. Facebook, LinkedIn, My Space, Blogs, Websites, You Tube, Flickr, Posting Comments, Chat Rooms, personal email – the list is endless.
It’s smart business if you ask me. And just like anything else, including our health, the sooner we start, generally speaking, the sooner we see results.
