HAVE I ADMITTED TO YOU THAT I AM VAIN

Last week we talked about a simple plan.  Yep, you have to have a plan. So what has that got to do with vanity. Well... I'll tell you.


Today I just finished my workout. I grabbed my bike and rode up into the foothills. Then I deliberately tortured myself.  Found a medium hill about a quarter of a mile in length and did sprints up the hill. Coasted down and then sprinted back up the hill as fast as I could. I did 8 sprints. Low impact won't hurt anything unless I fall off the bike. Don't laugh did that already and broke my left wrist...........


Now, I could say that I did those sprints just for my health, but the biggest motivating factor is my vanity. I so don't want to look FAT. I so don't want to look like a SLUG. I still have this fantasy about getting back to my perfect weight of 195 pounds..... (getting closer)


One of my good friends has a motto: "Forty is the new thirty". He looks much younger than he is. So does Stephen... he is 30 but still gets cast as a teenager......Now,,, what do you think is the single most obvious part of the human body that indicates age?


Drumroll Please.....................


Your Skin!!! Skin is the largest organ on the human body and is a roadmap of the smiles, laughs, frowns, cries, and pain that we have been through. 


I am lucky. I have been blessed with good genes and youthful looking skin but recently I have noticed those little laugh lines around the corners of my eyes. Scary and yes it was vanity that kicked in as a motivator. What should I do?  No knife for me...........


Well, I got lucky. Have you ever heard of nanotechnology. The science that makes things super tiny. We usually think of it in our computers.


Nanotechnology has other applications. I know you have seen the smoker trying desperately to quit with the Nicotine patch stuck to his arm. The nicotine is delivered directly into his body through his skin using nanotechnology.  


Well, I met a scientist who has created a fantastic skin care product that uses nanotechnology to deliver the nutrients to our skin. Yep, he thought that if they can get nicotine into the body using a patch,,, Why can't I get essential collagen building nutrients directly where they need to be with a skin cream.


You notice I used the word collagen. Your skin cells do not break down. What happens is the connective tissue for the cells (Collagen) breaks down and doesn't renew itself as fast.  
The solution for youthful skin:  Build more Collagen faster.   


So my new scientist friend figured out how to create that Collagen building boosting skin cream. My plan is to use it. Daily just as the scientist says. I realize that my vanity can allow my alligator mouth to overwhelm my hummingbird ass.  However there are times when that vanity can be used to motivate me to take steps in my life that will be positive and productive.


So, let's toast to vanity!


If you want to learn about this marvelous skin cream shoot me an email or text or be old world and call. Especially you Pebs!!!


Till we meet again,
