Health stuff! (Day 38: 4/7/10)

What's the good news?

So I was thinking today about how healthy I would like to become. You've seen on my vision board how I want to enjoy eating food that is good for me and lead an active and fun life style.

So I looked around for a believable and reasonable starting place and came to the President's Physical Fitness website. I found some good stuff on there that I am willing to give a try, but that's not really what I am going to talk about today. Perhaps tomorrow?

While looking around there, I came across health warnings and realized something. I have not been to the doctor in a long, long time! Like a serious long time. Sort of, kind of like when you leave high school, your parents don't really pay attention to whether you go or not, and you don't really care as long as there's nothing wrong with you.

Also, I have grown an almost certain dislike of all medical stuffs as of recently, mostly because I have somewhat inherited my grandfather's hypochondria, and whenever I DID go to the doctor, they would say that there's nothing wrong with me. So I have taken to doing home remedies that have more effects. (I'm not advocating anything here, read on!)

But I do realize the importance of getting at least a yearly check up. So I am not taking the initiative to go see a doctor (only to have him tell me I am in tip top shape! which for once in my life I will appreciate!). This will be my first step into focusing in on growing love and appreciation for my body. Well sort of. I've already taken about two years gaining confidence and appreciation about the way I look, and realizing just how beautiful I am. But now it is time to start taking better care of it.

So let's do this! I'm trying to get Heyer to do a physical fitness test with me so we know where we stand before we start getting a move on. Literally. Ha!

If you're interested in joining us, feel free to let us know and we will work out a support system!

On that note, I am going to leave you with a thought. How do you feel about your body? How long did it take you to work up that current perception? What factors lead to you thinking this?

I think that it is very important for each and everyone of us (,ale or female) to take time to look in a mirror and say, "what a beautiful fantastic me I am." take time to find the beautiful things about you. If you do that, you will appreciate yourself more. Then if you do that, you will want to take a lot better care of yourself. Then you will work at it, and soon realize that you have the body that you have always wanted and hoped for.

Do you agree?
