I wanted to do the right thing and start focusing on my health. I haven't done any of the things I vowed to do. Its funny how a person can make a plan but they fail to follow it. I can say this I may not have followed my plan but I have made some changes. My weight is down fro 275 to 265. I not only work full time but I also go to school full time. My hectic schedule as well as my low self esteem and self doubt has kept me from doing what I need to do to be healthy.
I put my other responsibilities before my health but fail to realize that if I don't make my health a priority I won't be around to have other responsibilities.
Lets just be real working out is not hard. All that is required is 30 minutes a day to get your heart in shape. That's it a simple 30 minutes. The focus is health not weight loss however if I start to live a healthier lifestyle the weight loss come in the package.
The focus is no longer weight loss the focus is a healthier lifestyle which includes physical, mental and spiritual health:
Physical Health:
1. Making better food choices
2. Drinking at least 64oz. of water a day
3. Working out at least 30 minutes 5x a week
4. Sleep at least 7 hours a night
Mental Health:
5. Reading a new book at least once a month
6. Visit a place of intellectual growth (i.e. museum, zoo, etc.)
7. Read the newspaper or internet articles
8. Have meaningful conversations about current topics
Spiritual Health:
9. Go to church
10. Meditate
11. Start a hobby (Photography?)
12. Commune with nature (Got to the park etc)
13. Volunteer
