I don’t know about you, but I want to be that 80-year-old busting out sweet moves on the dance floor at a wedding. What do YOU want to be able to do when you’re 60, 70, 80, and beyond?
Have you thought about it?
It doesn’t matter how old you are right now …. this applies to you TODAY. Want to climb mountains? Dominate the tennis court? Cycle through Europe? Grow the most amazing garden in the neighborhood, that you maintain all by yourself? Build homes for people who need a helping hand?
Well, there is ONE THING you can do to boost the chances of those dreams becoming a reality.
Ask yourself this question: Can you do them RIGHT NOW?
Do you have the:
- Strength,
- Stamina,
- Mobility?
Building a strong wellness/fitness base NOW is like making deposits into your personal health retirement account. One that is just as important as your 401(k). The deposits you make in it now will give you immediate payoffs – as well as create compound interest for years to come in your body’s strength and wellness … and quality of life.
Those health “deposits” include things like:
- Getting the RIGHT kind of muscle-building exercise
- Eating a healthy whole-foods-based diet packed with nutrients your body needs
- Getting enough sleep (at least 7 hours) every night
- Making time for R&R, fresh air, and sunshine at least a few days a week
- Having a regular stress-management plan so you can stay ahead of stress
Yes, you’ll feel the results almost immediately, but it’ll also help you establish new healthy habits that will last for years!
The #1 enemy of your goals
If you could call out the #1 enemy of your goals, what would it be? There are so many to choose from:
Not having enough time, Lack of support, Not knowing what to do, Your genetics, Pizza…
The list goes on and on!
Your new favorite cookie recipe
Are you a fan of no-bake cookies? Soooo good!But have you ever seen the original recipe? Talk about fat and sugar bombs … whoa!Not anymore … I’ve got a healthified version for you that’s a lot less sugar, and – bonus – it’s loaded with fiber and antioxidants.
Setting realistic goals
Every once in a while I get a panicked email or call from someone who wants to “lower their cholesterol down x points before their next doctor’s appointment a month from now“ or “get ready for a marathon in two months”. Don’t get me wrong: Those are all important goals … but they absolutely are not possible (at least in a healthy and sustainable way) in only a month or two!
Upscale sandwich shop recipe inside…
Ever eaten at a gourmet sandwich shop and tried something new … and was BLOWN AWAY by the deliciousness?!Well, I’ve got a recipe for you today that’s based on one of those sandwiches. I’m drooling just thinking about it. It’s crunchy (the toasted bread) … creamy (the avocado & hummus) … and tangy (the sauerkraut).
