[TPL] S2E136 - Make Time For Wellness Or Be Forced to Take Time For Illness

"If you don’t take time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness" Read that again… I have known for over a decade that I needed to get my weight under control. I always wanted to do it, even did several temporarily successful "diets".. But they were hard to maintain and there had to be meal plans, and I had to get buy in from my family, and I got cravings, and, and, and… In other words, it was hard... Then in January, I wasn't feeling well, and decided to check my blood pressure… 200/137… I have never had an app on my phone freak out before…. It was like "You are in hypertensive crisis!! GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!!" I was able to get medicine and am (obviously) still here and doing fine. But my Dr told me I *MUST* get exercise and lose weight. It really scared me. I realized I was paying a heavy price for my lack of discipline over the past years. I have now started a true lifestyle change with REAL exercise. I have a ways to go yet, but you cannot change 20 years of bad habits with a month or two of good deeds. But this is not part of my Quest. It is part of my Legacy to make sure I am here and healthy for my family and to realize my Personal Purpose. I had an old mentor that told me you either pay the cost of success, or you will pay to price for failure. We have to learn how to create that pressure in ourselves to move now. To take uncomfortable action now, so that we can leave a legacy for our future. #success #personalpurpose #health #lifestylechange
