This is the summer I will turn 67. Collecting Social Security, playing the saxophone and stand-up comedy, open mics. Well that’s not all. Today in the 90 degree heat and humidity, I went to my favorite spot in Central Park and hit the pullup bars. I did ten sets, totaling 110 pullups. Man I love this weather!!
I’ll admit I have been a little off my game for a few months. Knee surgery in April completely derailed my frisbee game. Now that it’s July 25th, exaclty one month until I turn 65, I’m ready to get “Back On The Plan” Gonna get serious! Anyone else feel the need to get serious?
Hi there sportsfans! It’s me again and I’m (chronologically) a bit older. I say “chronologically” because I don’t feel or act any older. Some say I don’t look any older, but upon closer inspection, I believe I do; a little. I’m just doing what I always do. Taking photos of myself to show off. I am proud that I am lean and fit. I also know myself and I know if I’m taking photos of my body, that means I want it to look good. I have always been vain that way. As I get (chronologically) older, I notice that when I am leaner and eating to be leaner I also feel better. So, now I’m eating for two. Two reasons. I want to feel good and I want to look good. Is that so wrong?
Here’s the thing. Health is a lifestyle. Yes, there are so many things you can’t control. So, we’re going to put those aside for now.
Time to focus on what you do have control over.
That’s why I believe that
FITNESS
Is comprised of
F-unctional
I-ntegrative
T-raining
And
N-utrition
E-xercise
S-upport
S-ystem
That’s where I come in. Without a support system for your fitness, you are on your own. If that’s working for you the I say more power to you. If it’s not, then why not make some changes?
I will make sure you get in better shape. I guarantee it.
Give me 10 sessions and you will see and feel the difference.
Fitness is my game. My life. My domain.
Two crazy! Two months. Two different angles. 3 months shy of three years since my total shoulder replacement. First time I’ve been willing to show my body from the left side. Check out that wicked scar!
That’s all. Just checking in. Life is good. One day at a time. Getting through the day is an inside job. If you take care of the inside, it all falls into place. Or not. And you deal with it. 2/22/2022 Another day in the life. A day in your life. Make the most of it. Stay fit. Physically and mentally. Exercise your right to a happy life. February 2022.
Well if it isn’t me again? I’m thinking about life as I often do and I’m wondering where this is all going. And suddenly I freeze in my tracks and it hits me. This moment! That’s all there is. I mean, what a relief! I just don’t think I can handle any more than that. Well, I suppose I could try but why? If I really want to live, and I do then I think I need to stay present. Right here, right now.
Yes, I think I’m okay now. For a moment I was sidetracked. Started thinking I needed to be “normal.” Thought I ought to try to fit in. You know surrender my soul to society. Whew! I’ve come to my senses.
And now the reason for this post. More photos of me. That’s right, I am holding myself accountable for my own happiness and part of that is taking care of my body! I’ll be 63 in August and I’m looking for to it. “One day at a time” of course.
Life’s a roller coaster of a ride and definitely has its ups and downs. Most people would say 2020 was a bad year. I wouldn’t. I just don’t speak like that. I don’t use the word, “bad” to describe things. It’s a bit lazy. I would say that there have been some incredible challenges, that’s for sure. I am very careful about the words I use when speaking to myself or anyone for that matter. I have made an agreement with myself that I would be impeccable with my word. My words have power, so I use them wisely.
Am I still talking?
Here are some pics I took after the first month of 2021. I’m down 2 pounds and my body-fat is around 10.5% Progress, not perfection! One day at a time. Sober, strong and leaning into 63!!
