And moderation can be oh so boring. :) And many thanks for letting me know about the videos being down. I agree, the weekends are often the most challenging times.

Getting and maintaining a high level of fitness is definitely not easy or, as you said, everyone would be prime fitness model candidates. I just wrote an article that parallels with what you wrote which I think you'll find interesting. It is a guide of how to change/adapt your schedule to fit in exercise. I actually wrote it in honor of my best friend who is doing an Emergency Room residency right now and hardly has time to sleep but still wants to work out and get fit. http://dynamicworkouts.blogspot.com/ Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed your article :) Vic,

It all comes down to mind over matter and priorities. You cant deny that a totally healthy lifestyle requires sacrifice? That's the bit I find the most difficult. I can be perfectly healthy during the week, but come the weekend i want to be out with my mates, drinking and letting my hair down :) BTW, half your video's on the 8 exercises in 8 minutes seem to have disappeared? Kind Regards Tusc :) Hey Vic

It is heartbreaking to see friends and family (anyone) languishing in pain and illness. When I was in college, my best friend was hospitalized with testicular cancer. I visited him every day. And as I sat there in his room (he was often asleep or otherwise unaware of my presence) I couldn't help but often think. . . goddamn, that could just as easily be me in that bed. It is unfortunate what we take for granted. . . Sue, thanks for making a great point. It is heartbreaking to see friends and family (anyone) languishing in pain and illness.

Don't know why we don't think about reason number one more often. I guess it's easy to slip into delusions of immortality. But we really do have control over much of our health. Certainly not all - some WILL get cancer or other diseases even with pristine diet and exercise - but why not stack the deck in our favor as best we can and chalk the rest up to fate? Yep.

My mentioning death seems to have grabbed the attention of many. But it is so damned true! Most of the killers in the U.S. are strongly influenced (or even a direct result of in the case of Type II diabetes) by life style behaviors. Thanks, Jen!
