Traveling for a living makes regular exercise and healthy eating a big challenge.

Lane 8 is Mid Life Celebration’s physical responsibility blog and website. An underrated part of diet and exercise is the daily grind of stay focused and disciplined. In fact, dear Son, that’s the key.

I learned the power of redundancy (and icons) from Disney - world class has a recipe.

Dear Son, this may work on your nerves and test your patience but repetition is the mother of all learning. Physical wellness and work life balance comes down to reaping what you sow. Period.

Finland, 2009

Dear Son, 7 things you need to embrace about commitment:

  1. Search until you’ve found your passion
  2. Find a million ways to keep it alive
  3. Accept failure, but not quitting
  4. Never forget that #1 (above) requires a higher purpose
  5. Tell stories to others (this is for accountablility)
  6. Use personal examples
  7. If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough

Windsurfing is exercise, but the need for a convenient ocean makes it a hassle for most people.

Dear Son, we tried a few things last year, remember?:

  • Running short distances
  • Water Polo
  • Swimming (yes, different than water polo)
  • Walking

You know me by now, we will keep trying. Fail yes. Quit no. We can’t quit, it’s part of work life balance, and diet and exercise are indespensible.

Life Elevated! Indeed. Through great health & wellness habits.

Victory favors those who persist

What midlife Baby Boomer interested in excellent health and overall wellness looks to license plates and t-shirts for inspiration?

A wise one.

Prelude...

Not quite 9am, October 3, 2011 (perfect)

As we Baby Boomers struggle to slow down during hectic holiday and economic times, we would be wise to consider the many obvious benefits to sticking to a lifetime of physical activity, adequate rest and moderate eating. Embedded in the list is “getting to do more than if you weren’t relatively healthy”. Amen. Hard work is the short cut.

Stay healthy, have fun. Brought an assistant (11) along on his 1st business trip.

One of my assistant's duties was to digitally capture the Senior Games story.

He did an excellent job on his first day.

Boomers, staying healthy is key to enjoying age group competition. But physical health isn’t the only thing Mid Life Celebration focuses on. Like many Boomers nearing retirement age, jeff noel operates a Health and Wellness business as a speaker and writer. Attending the Huntsman Senior Games was his son’s first business trip. When you stay with something long enough, opportunities you never dreamed of are placed in your path.

The Finnish Olympian wanted to trade his Suomi (Finland) team jersey for my USA team jersey.

Couple things. Didn’t start running to compete, only to get healthy. Only started to compete (5k’s) to stay motivated and fend off boredom. Discovered age group competition completely by accident. It was fun. One thing led to another. Plus, I wanted to prove that Walt Disney’s business principals could work anywhere, even running.

Fight Fat: Easy, Healthy Fast (sure, I'll believe that - except for the easy & fast parts)

Be thankful that we are not gullible in midlife. Right? Fight fat: Easy, Healthy, Fast. Are you kidding me? Who gets to write this stuff? If fighting fat were easy and fast, well, would two-thirds of our nation be overweight? Go. Fight this with common sense, focus, and discipline.

Sounds Exciting, But Looks Confusing & Chaotic

No plan for success will work if we don’t. How difficult would it be to make a list of the common excuses that keep us Boomers from being active? An excuse like: “I can not go for a walk four or five times a week”.

If my posts sound like I’m writing to an audience, I am, but it’s an audience of one. Me. Everyday it’s the same, find a million ways to not quit. We better be the first in our own line to volunteer to help ourselves.
