More Magic please


Sometimes it is easier to chart the course for the future by looking at the past. Obviously how we got here is a direct result of where we have been. Here follows there. Accordingly if you want to direct your course, you access the present. I have found that it is much easier to get to where I want to be by accurately locating where I am now. I could be a thousand miles away, or ten feet. I truly believe that it is never as far as you think, and the only way to get there is to start. Right now. One step. Head in that direction. Bring what ya got, get going. 

Think for a moment what this means to you in terms of your health and fitness, towards your achievement of goals, your happiness factor. What you ate and how much you moved is what you have right now. Exercise too little and eat too much and you have a weight problem. There are sub categories at play as well while we courageously (or not) fight the ravages of the aging process. That's the good fight. What types of food we eat and the intensity of our exercise are examples. There needs to be a healthy mix, balance and rest. Then there needs to be change. We need to add to the mix to promote adaptation. We grow stronger, we last longer, we appreciate and respect all this as it unfolds in the present tense, where we are, a day after where we were. 

If we make good choices today they will assist in the growth of tomorrow. If we don't, we get to try again the next day. Until we get it right.

And then we do it again.

And again.

Until it is habit. What we do. Our healthy lifestyle. EXTRA ordinary.

Then we change it again, get out of THAT comfort zone and add more challenge, more heat, more drama and lots more awareness because that is the glue that binds. If you are not paying attention to this miraculous process you are missing the magic. 

There has been major mojo magic taking place around us, 24/7/365. And I am not solely talking about since Thursday night. 

A pictorial sample of the magic: Sunshine and shadows on my Japanese Maples. Pino's delicious vegetarian lasagna from VR11, a 14.08 four person TT, and college bike jerseys as Birthday presents. All here. It's where we've been. And where we're going.
