Walking and Riding a Bike

When you are walking for exercise or health...just walk.  

When you are riding a bike for exercise or health...just ride.

Get off the phone.

So what's your secret to being so strong?

So I overheard one "new" boot camper asking a boot camper veteran..."How is it that you are so strong doing theses exercises? You make it look so easy."

The "older" camper said "it's the pre training meal of Tecate and chicken Mc nuggets, that gives me strength".

Note to self...I may need to talk about "proper diet" a little more often to this group.

Note to readers...the older camper was joking. (I hope.)

I don't recommend stuff unless I really use it.

Heather and I were talking about vegan stuff this morning and I don't happen to be a vegan but I do love the vegan Sun Warrior protein. It's in my cupboard along with my greens powder and cacao nibs.

Wisdom from Hugh MacLeod

Everything I do now professionally begins with the act of gift-giving. You?

1. Figure out what your gift is, and give it to them on a regular basis. 2. Make sure it’s received as a real gift, not as an advertising message. 3. Then figure out exactly what it is that your trail of breadcrumbs leads back to.

Let's go to Argentina

Today over breakfast I was telling my wife that I saw some good airfares to Argentina.  My son, who is 11 said, "great let's go...I'm getting tired of this cold".  I love that spirit.
