The real metric takes a lifetime to measure

Fun to look at. The envelope below also contained Disney benefits information.

One-mailbox-a-day.

We began, as a Family, August 6, 2018.

We are in week 13.

Nine mailboxes each day.

Why aren’t we at 13 mailboxes?

Because i’m flexible with my wife’s and son’s progress.

And on four different Mondays, we opted to not increase another mailbox and instead ran the same number as the previous week.

There is no hurry to reach a distance goal.

No race we must be ready for.

The transformation isn’t measured in the distance we cover, it’s measured in the consistency of the effort – the longer you stay with transformation, the easier it is to measure the long-term commitment.

Real success will be measured in our ability to stay active (and it doesn’t have to be running) for a lifetime.

Twelve weeks in, holding at 8 mailboxes

Disney jeff
Rest and relaxation on a college hammock, two days ago.

 

Twelve weeks in, holding at 8 mailboxes.

Two laps around a high school track.

After three months.

Traditional metrics have us as failures.

What do you mean you’re only jogging for two laps?

Listen up mister, the real metric you should be celebrating is we are showing up for our 12th consecutive week – at 5:15AM and 6:15AM.

Slow and steady helped us complete week nine

Mojave OS
Apple no longer puts OS upgrades in the App Store. Now you find them in System Preferences. Love the Mojave tagline: Simply Powerful. Daily exercise is .simply .powerful too 

 

This morning’s pre-dawn runs completed week nine of our one-mailbox-a-day wellness transformation.

When i say runs, here’s what i mean.

Cheryl is up and ready to run by 5:15am.

Chapin is ready an hour later, so i run twice.

In the Summer when we began, High School was not in session so we all ran together for the first month.

One mailbox a day is still alive

Apple privacy agreement
Nothing is private anymore. Live an admirable life and your story doesn’t need to be a surprise to anyone if there’s a data or privacy breach. If your health habits (eating, sleeping, exercising) were public, how would you react?

 

We are in week nine.

We are doing seven mailboxes every morning.

Twice we didn’t add a mailbox for the new week.

This is okay because we are not in a hurry.

Week 7, six daily mailboxes

Apple Watch 4
Photo: yesterday a screenshot of Apple 2018 new product announcements, taken while walking to the gym. Healthier life? Who doesn’t want that? Bummer it takes so much focus and discipline.

 

Week 7, six daily mailboxes.

Progress.

Gloriously slow progress.

For all three of us.
