A Perfect Example Why Personal Health And Wellness Is Challenging

There was no time to run...

Our days are busy. Our distractions many. The excuses, abundant and easy. Ever feel like this? How’s this feeling overcome by others, I wonder to myself…

Two days ago I began the day at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort and then went on a field trip to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park. Afterwards it was lunch in the car driving to the airport, and nearly ten hours after lunch, opening the door to my hotel room to sleep.

Know The One Person Who’s More Passionate About Your Health Than You?

Gold’s Gym Was Packed Yesterday

My son and I went to Gold’s Gym yesterday.  It was packed.  That’s great to see.  Yet even though Gold’s Gym was crowded, the people exercising represent such a small portion of the population.

When I drive to and from work, or on errands, there are occasional joggers along the way. Again, a small portion.

Maybe the ones who exercise regularly are missing the boat.  Perhaps they are the crazy ones.  Wasting their time on the frivolous pursuit of a sound body.  Not a perfect body.  A sound body.

Wasting their time and energy by rearranging their schedules to make exercise fit.  Passing on “delicious” foods, or skipping second helpings, in an effort to practice healthy moderation.

What’s wrong with that small portion of the population?  What a bunch of self-indulgent individuals.  They remind me of the people on the airplane who put the oxygen mask on first, before offering to help the person next to them.
