A healthier me!

August 25, 2007

Because of my hectic schedule, I’ve not been attentive to my body’s needs lately. I usually sleep late, so naturally I get up late and feel exhausted. Breakfasts are always delayed and by afternoon I feel drained. I haven’t done any exercise for months already and I feel I lack energy for doing physical things. I realize I have to do something about my health. It is after all, my best asset. If I feel sick, then how can I continue with being effective and efficient?

So I have decided to start an online health journal and note down here in my blog, though not really the details, my attempts to attaining a healthy and fit me. These are just basic and simple health habits I need to practice, not as complicated as a colon cleanse or low carb diet. By posting an update online, I would feel more obliged in doing this challenge since it’s like a public statement or declaration.

Here’s my first To Do list with starting dates:

1. Have a consultation with a doctor about my present health condition. (next month)

2. Go through general laboratory and medical checkups. (next month)

3. Exercise at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes. (next week)

4. Sleep not later than midnight. (tonight)

5. Wake up early at 6 AM. (tomorrow)

6. Limit rice to ¾ cup for every meal. (tonight)

7. Include veggies and fruits for every meal. (next week)

8. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. (tomorrow)

Okay, the above list would do for now. I’ll update this every weekend and report here how I’ve been doing so far. God bless me on my new endeavor!
