Man in the Arena by Theodore Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Amen Teddy! Love this.

Exercising regularly can reduce the severity of Covid-19. The definition of exercise vary from person to person. If you aren’t exercising start with 15-20 minutes a day of lite activity. YouTube is full of exercise videos….you name it….it’s on there. Just move. A body in motion stays in motion.

Something I thought worth sharing!

Immune senescence is characterized by severe weakening of our ability to ward off pathogens while simultaneously fueling fires of chronic inflammation. Three natural compounds have been shown to reverse harmful immune cell imbalances that accelerate aging systemically.

Sugar alcohols have been popping up a lot more lately. When I started noticing these suckers over ten years ago I was very interested. I was never really satisfied with what I found in my research but it did seem to be better than Splenda and other substitutes. Since we have gone through the agave phase, not so good, and now Stevia. I'm going to make this short and sweet. Know what you are consuming before you consume it. Sugar alcohols can cause bloating and digestive issues, and if consumed enough can cause a fluctuation in blood glucose levels. As of late stevia is the winner. If you want to go with another sweetener, do your homework. Don't read forums of idiots who have no education or even fitness sites that post fad diets and ridiculous fitness advice. Look for clinical research. Scientific studies. That's how I base my nutrition. Take this, leave this, but this is my two cents!

This is what we found on our hike. An old abandoned 3-wheeler!

What goes up, must come down. Helicopter please!

Dilemma, now I have to go back down. My barely healed lungs aren't into this!

Finally I got the keys to the gym at the clubhouse. I love my gym at home, but I found machines in this gym that I had to leave behind in Burbank! I love what I just did to myself. And best of all...look at the view!

That's what I drink my water out of (almost all of the time). Not because I think I am wonder woman but because I am striving to be A Wonder Woman.

I woke up to this in my inbox. I wonder sometimes if I am making the impact I am trying to make. Then I get one of these emails. They are always great. But this one hit me hard. This is why I keep doing it. Even if there is silence, and I start to wonder, emails like these give me the feedback, support and the desire to keep on doing what I have always done.

CALORIES

I would rather go for quality calories then worry about quantity (counting) calories (kind of like friends)! I stopped counting calories years ago. Portion is important but a few key must and the right combo's and you are set. It's a science but it's not brain science. It may seems frustrating because there is a lot of info out there. Stick to as natural as possible, stop eating before you are full, eat plenty of nice vibrant colored veggies, whole grains (quinoa, basmati) lentils, black beans, fish and lean meats. And don't forget to guzzle water........and yes fruit AND healthy fats! That should cover it!

I know I talk a lot about the glycemic index and JASMINE RICE and how it is worse than pure glucose and why I won't eat it or sushi. Well I was reading one of my favorite books this morning and I thought I would share. I know many of you have heard me quote these exact words. Maybe you will think twice before you eat that sushi roll. (Most places do offer rolls with brown rice now)
