Take ActionIf you take anything from this post remember these two action items:
1. The ideal human diet should consist of only whole, unprocessed foods – meat, fish, fowl, plants, fruits, and nuts. Whatever you can kill, pick, or dig up and eat on the spot. This is what your ancestors ate and what your body is meant to consume.
2. By the same token, the best exercise consists of natural, full-body movements – lifting heavy things, sprinting, walking, swimming, hiking, climbing, crawling. This is how your ancestors moved and how your body is meant to function.
RCVman is a busy guy today. That is ONE of the many reasons why we, as a group, meet three times a week at 0530 for our HIT spin sessions. To get it done and then to get it on. There are things that need doing. Today. Now. My metabolic rate is humming along right now on cruise control in overdrive. Could also be Steph's marvelous peanut butter chocolate balls we enjoyed after class as a reward, dunno.
Submitted for your review are three links from sites that I like a lot. On a subject that I am somewhat passionate about. The vibration from these articles resonates deep. I agree at the cellular level. My DNA is standing in group ovation. Nerve endings tingle and endorphins dance. The planets are properly aligned and God's children are at play. Except of course conservative Republicans who are angry again today because we have chosen to share. (Oops. Sorry). Also, as footnote, I'll allow (this time and in this context) the above about killing and eating animals, with the caveat that you must use a spear and not a high powered rifle. Things change, we evolve.
We are busy. Staying fit. Eating well. Doing what we love to do. Taking Health Care into our own hands. Asking for that responsibility. Sadly, many of us have lost the way, forgotten or been flat out beat to a pulp for tryin' or perhaps distracted by 72 inches of plasma, tweets and big gulps. Don't give up folks. Don't contribute to the problem, be a pert of the solution. Move your body. Eat a peach. Inspire someone. It is about character America.
Today I salute you. Now go run.
From SD last week. Put some sun on those things, please.

See you at the 0530 yoga session manana. It is difficult to overstate how complementary yoga is with more intense activities. In the matter of breathing, alone, I have discovered an amazing energy which is released while cycling with deep awareness of breath control.
Excellent. I do this thing, half zazen and half forced relaxation every morning: Ten complete full deep breaths allowing no thoughts to interrupt flow. No getting out of bed until accomplished. Years ago, it would take me an hour. Not sure which area was most improved, relaxing, breathing or being aware.
Interesting how the extremes create the balance. Nice, thx.
I miss one spin class and then miss the chocolate and peanut butter after. Life is so unfair.
If any are left from my personal stash (and that is a BIG if) I will bring them in the morning. But....
You must do what everyone on Monday had to do to get one.....
GO HARD.
That is as fair as I can make it.
I will try to be there. Showing up is the important first step.
