Before I get into it, this is decidedly a personal piece as opposed to the subjects I normally write about, business, brands, and marketing. Also, I want to stress that I am not a dietician or a physical exercise expert, but I read a lot (no, I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, lol). What I’m sharing below is just how I am approaching a situation in my life. My purpose for doing so is two-fold.

The first is to hold myself accountable. By writing all of this out and publishing, I will know in the back of my mind that it isn’t just some spongey idea that I can modify on a whim. It’s out there.

The second is to see if any of you have ideas that challenge and improve my approach. I’m not looking for criticism; I’m looking for constructive criticism.

The Context

During the pandemic, some folks took the opportunity to get in the shape of their lives. Others went in the opposite direction. I stayed right down the middle for almost all of it. I didn’t modify how I ate/drank but continuing to run seven miles three times a week. You’ll notice how I said almost all of it.
