Man in the Arena by Theodore Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Amen Teddy! Love this.

Weight Loss Strategies: New Findings - Life Extension

Exercising regularly can reduce the severity of Covid-19. The definition of exercise vary from person to person. If you aren’t exercising start with 15-20 minutes a day of lite activity. YouTube is full of exercise videos….you name it….it’s on there. Just move. A body in motion stays in motion.

Sugar alcohols have been popping up a lot more lately. When I started noticing these suckers over ten years ago I was very interested. I was never really satisfied with what I found in my research but it did seem to be better than Splenda and other substitutes. Since we have gone through the agave phase, not so good, and now Stevia. I'm going to make this short and sweet. Know what you are consuming before you consume it. Sugar alcohols can cause bloating and digestive issues, and if consumed enough can cause a fluctuation in blood glucose levels. As of late stevia is the winner. If you want to go with another sweetener, do your homework. Don't read forums of idiots who have no education or even fitness sites that post fad diets and ridiculous fitness advice. Look for clinical research. Scientific studies. That's how I base my nutrition. Take this, leave this, but this is my two cents!

This is what we found on our hike. An old abandoned 3-wheeler!
