To make changes in your life for the short term only provide a short term results – it is the long term commitment to things that produce lasting results….

So 12 months later – how is the healthier body progressing or have you returned to old habits?

An interesting read would be about the sacrifices you made when you were unable to manage a work-life balance and how you are addressing this issue in your current career

health is so often neglected in the name of prosperity and I appreciate your comments on the subject. after all, what good is a car that can get you A- B fast but only when it is reliable. Sound like an Alpha Romeo to me. Passionate but unreliable with performance only when it is operating at its best. thanks for the tone in which you write your blog. My first visit after seeing you speak on Sunday.

Something to think about there I think. Since I came back to pf I have completly thrown my diet and exercise out the window. I walk to work and home again which take about half hour. In total. I used to walk nearly 2 hours everyday but I have just become very lazy and I feel it too. Must get my finger out I think..

Hey Simon. Sounds like you are making good choices. BTW, lemon grass and ginger is a great option from Tea 2 – even if you are not that keen on ginger… a great combo. My hot water system broke recently and I have deliberately delayed replacing it, partly because it has enforced a daily visit to the gym (for the past 10 days). I still go for walks in real grass etc, but I love starting each day with a 40 minute workout, followed by a warm shower. Now my dilemma is whether or not I should replace the hot water system at all!

Hey, I *thought* you were looking healthier – good for you!

I LOVE this post and the fact that you are eating less meat, more fish, and running. Good one and Keep It Up. Don’t turn into yet another Aussie Norm Fat Cat Business Man.

I’m really glad you took charge of your health and fitness Simon before something or someone else did. Too often we fail to really look after themselves really well until we get bad news from our doctor or specialist. There’s nothing better than the thinking and creativity that comes from a really clear head – and a body that’s fuelled up and ready for action. Somehow you can stand out from the crowd and really act independently when you’re truly fit and well. Like you I love to run and do most days from 5am till 7am – maybe one day I could do a marathon! In my corporate past before going into business, I used to feel guilty for wanting to take physical care of myself, as if somehow it showed a lack of commitment. But after running my own business I realised that I coped better if I was fit, and if things got really bad I’d throw on the runners and run along the beach. We’re not just stuck with our bodies, they’re the most fantastic asset we have to help us move towards our goals and what we really want in life. One’s health and wellbeing should never be traded for short-term success.

My co-workers and I were just talking about the importance of exercise and diet. We actually just recently started an exercise/diet group, and we all go running together after work. I love my job at a staffing company in Boston, Hollister Staffing (www.hollisterstaff.com) but before we started our group I was feeling very lazy and having a hard time getting through the day. Since I started exercising and watching my diet I feel so much better better and it shows in my work!

Exercise and diet are life long pursits. Life and balance are reason enough – and i would like to believe your thoughts apply equally to followers.
Salut!
