Today is a much better mental day than yesterday. So my news comes a day later...but happier.
Maybe I'll go for a swim in the Pacific Ocean... 
That's refreshing and very cool (in all ways). What is the Fountain of Youth Project (FOYP) really about? It's about getting more healthy and more fit...there is no end...it's a lovely continuum. Weight as a success marker is a joke...yet, even I enjoy watching the scale lower. It's really about all of your markers and what direction they are heading...one of which is weight. Reduction of disease and risk factors Nutrient intake (more fiber, lower sugar - saturated fat - cholesterol) Fiber, fiber, fiber... Body movement (aerobic and resistance) Lowering stress and it's related cortisol (help Eric) Breathing and indeed smelling the proverbial roses Reduction of psychological stress (less cortisol) Being happy with the direction of your progress (less cortisol)
Combining these elements into your life has a byproduct that our culture seems obsessed with....LOSING WEIGHT AND LOOKING GOOD. One additional benefit...YOU ALSO FEEL GREAT. | | |
