Joe Cocker: Feelin’ Alright
Is It 2018 Yet?
OK, it’s a dumb question on this fifth week of the year, but I’ll just segue into my blog notes written about five weeks ago. Did I mention that one of my New Year’s resolutions was NOT to procrastinate? Life in the fast lane, commitments and distractions, a tooth ache, babysitting grandkids, gym workouts, running, etc., you get the drift, I’ve got millions of excuses for not doing my blog. So, pretend like this is five weeks ago and keep reading.
Stepping Back, Just a Bit
What needs to be said at this very “early” juncture in 2018? Did YOU make resolutions for 2018? My gym friends and I, in our locker-room conversations (as we complain that the gym always seems overly crowded early in the New Year), talk about people who make “fitness resolutions” and show up at the gym for a few weeks. Then, mysteriously, you don’t see them anymore.
Myself, I’m as regular as the sunrise, three times a week I’m in the gym. It keeps me fit, it relaxes me, and it’s important to me, being fit I mean. I tell people that I’m inspired by my Dad (God bless him), who was younger than me when he died because he did not stay fit.
My advice to you is to “do stuff”, turn off the big eye and get off the couch. You don’t have to be as dedicated as I am (swimming, running, Nautilus machines, etc.), but do something to keep yourself healthy. I also tell people that being fit is not automatic. Your body will appreciate it if you make the effort to stay fit.
