I believe physical health is important for the leader. I have written about this before HERE. I know there are times a leader can’t do anything about his or her health, but if there is an option, the leader should strive to be healthy. It makes me more productive when I feel better physically.
Recently I lost 10 pounds to get in even better shape.
A short history:
I’m 47…I feel good…and I’m in good shape physically. I run almost everyday. I monitor my weight and I eat semi-healthy. In my mid thirties I got slightly overweight, about 15 pounds, and decided to do something about it. I worked hard to reach my ideal weight and stay there consistently for almost 10 years. In the last 18 months, due to stressful, fast-paced living, and lots of traveling, I added back another 10 pounds. I tried what had worked before to lose the weight, but nothing seemed to work.
Some call it a middle-aged spread.

Always a teacher, Michael shared with me that he had been closely monitoring what he eats using the LoseIt application.
I had tried this application, but never disciplined myself to actually use it. This time I was determined. It worked!
Here’s how the LoseIt application worked for me:
