Your health is like a bank account. You make deposits and you make withdrawals. Deposits are the daily little things you do to build up your account — exercise, diet, etc. And withdrawals make up those moments when you push yourself harder than you normal — eating junk food, not exercising, consuming too much sugar and sitting too much.
I’ve been making constant withdrawals for three months — and now I’ve overdrawn. Tomorrow, I’m going to see the banker. And it won’t be pretty.
Tomorrow is my first day of Fit4Change training with Paul Lacoste. As many of you know, I have done Paul’s training for most of the past five years. But the last three months, I’ve fallen off the wagon. First a concussion, then 16,000 miles of travel and then two weeks holed up in a hotel room preparing for classes have taken their toll. I’m 224 lbs. and out of shape.
I’ll pay for it tomorrow morning at 5 a.m.
But I know it is time to make some deposits. My diet will be cleaned up, too. The number one thing I need to keep up my schedule is energy. Tomorrow, I start working hard to get that energy back.
My goal is to drop back down under 200 lbs. My body doesn’t need to weigh this much. I haven’t tackled a running back in over 30 years. I also look forward to training my brain, too.
If your health is a bankaccount, you have to make deposits. The next 12 weeks will be a tough journey — but it will be another step toward having a wealth of health. It’s time to head to the next level.
