wellness

Wellness means much more than the absence of sickness. It is a way of living the at emphasizes such preventive3 measures as eating healthful foods, making exercise and enjoyable part of your life, and making self-care decisions that will actively improve the quality of your life.

Wellness means reducing your risk for chronic disease, preventing and treating injuries, banishing environmental and safety hazards from your home and your workplace, and eliminating unnecessary trips to the doctor-- while making the best use of the health-care system when you need it.

This is my philosophy and I hope it is yours too!!

Health and Fitness? Today? Tomarrow?

At certain times in our lives, we become aware of issues in life thru repeated messages to us.

So I recently reached an age where I've joined a large political group.

I've been running for most of my life and I've enjoyed the runners lifestyle... But I must also acknowledge that those Haagen Daz bars and Oatmeal cookies have added up... to 20 pounds in the last three years.

I bought a new bathroom scale (digital) and now have started tracking my weight on my laptop (excel).. I have created a chart displaying my weight change over the last 60 days..

Diet -- Nutrition

We take pills - vitamins and Herbs.... etc for health.. but vegetables offer many nutrients for our health.

I watched "super size me" and "thank you for smoking" -- I recommend these for your health too!

And also Nacho Libre, and Little Miss Sunshine!! For your Mental Health too!

My meal plan:

Breakfast:

Granola with Tri Berry Mix

Lunch:

Lean Ole Burrito with fresh veggies:
- Mini Peppers and Carrots
- Red Peppers provide large amts of vitamin C.

Dinner:

Salad with Onions, Celery, Cucumber, Tomato, Ginger, Horseradish ..
Mixed vegetables: Corn, Carrots, Beans

Grilled Chicken, small baked potatoes (dry butter replacement)

Dessert? I eat enough such that I do not have dessert..

Later in the evening? Tea... with some honey...
