So what exactly is a sloth?
Becoming a Healthy Sloth
One of these things.

Becoming a Healthy Sloth
Attributes of a sloth:
They sleep a lot
They eat a lot
They move very slow
Becoming a Healthy Sloth
Why exactly would you want to be one?
Becoming a Healthy Sloth
To get more by doing less.
Step 1
Learn math.
Step 1
An equation governs the healthy sloth:
Step 1
Just kidding.
Step 1
It’s actually really simple:
Tx + Dx = Hn
Step 1
If you tox, then you should detox.
Toxic Activities Detox Activities Net Health

Some Examples
If you… Then…
Drink A Six-Pack Run 6 Miles!
Eat Ben & Jerry’s
Smoke a Cigarette Want to quit
First…
Enjoy It
Enjoy It
Enjoy It
Get off yourass!
See a Pattern?
If you do something counter-productive, do something productive.
See a Pattern?
The key is awareness. The first step to eating something bad is knowing that you’re eating something bad.
Accept that. Then, do something about it.
Discipline
Am I saying discipline doesn’t matter?
Discipline
To the contrary – true discipline is getting right back on track after you stopped to enjoy one of life’s pleasures.
…which you should be doing!
Sustainability
This is the key to sustaining good health. Anyone can be healthy for weeks or months at a time.
Sustainability
You will get off track. It’s how you respond to it that matters.
Balance
Health is balance.
(one of Fit Fuel’s guiding business principles, by the way)
Balance
Need proof that health is balance?
Balance
Just look at the unhealthy balance sheets of all of our banks. (inside Stern joke)
Balance
If you’re not balanced, you end up like this guy.
The Law of Trying Too Hard
The harder you try to reach a goal and the more you obsess over it, the harder it is too reach.
And the less you enjoy the ride!
The Law of Trying Too Hard
Find your rhythm. Let things come too you. It is much easier to meet health in the middle.
Exercise
For every hour you spend exercising your body…
Exercise
Spend at least twice that exercising your mind!
It’s All in Your Head
You are pumped to start getting in shape
But waking up at 6 a.m. is starting to get a little old
You start seeing changes – it gets you even more stoked
Actually, it’s getting real old
You stuck with it. Change comes slower.
But it’s “change that you can believe in.”
A typical workout commitment.
Motivation
Time
Adopting the Sloth Lifestyle
Must learn how to live healthy – and enjoy it!
• Find your sweet spot
• If you eat 5 tuna sandwiches a day but you hate tuna, then you need a new strategy!
• If you don’t enjoy it, it won’t last. Even worse, you won’t be happy.
Time Management
Life is too short to spend an hour in a crowded gym every day.
Time Management
The healthy sloth is creative.
How The Sloth Stacks Up
Health is a function of physical health, mental health, and overall well-being.

Physical Health Mental Health Physical Health Mental Health Physical Health Mental Health
A Motto to Live By
Mens sana in corpore sano.
Latin for “A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body”
The Mindset
Live in the moment.
Enjoy life’s pleasures.
Find balance in your life.
The Mindset
And don’t try too hard!
The Mindset
Focus less on the outcome and more on your actions and decisions from day to day, or hour to hour.
The Mindset
You’ll know that you’ve adopted a healthy lifestyle when you stop thinking about it and simply live it!
The Mindset
And if you really insist on “measuring” your progress, measure it by the frequency of your smiles.
Thank You
Thanks for your time.
Now…
Anyone want to grab a beer?
