Preventative Practices

I answered yes to 7 out of the 10 questions on the preventive practice self-assessment. That's not too bad, but it could be better. I do not eat enough friuts and vegetables. I really need to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet. I have been trying to take at least one fruit to work each day to eat as a snack. The next time I go to the grocery store I will buy more. I also feel that I do not get enough physical activity. I usually walk my dog at least twice a week for about a half hour. That is only two days out of the week. Accoding to the self-assessment, I need some sort of physical activity at least four days a week. I would like to walk my dogs more often, but some days when I get off work I am just so tired. I have been thinking about taking a pilates class on saturdays. This would give me at least three days of physical activity. I also feel that I do not get enough sleep. I always feel tired throughout the day. I try to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night but I always feel tired. I have problems staying asleep. Maybe I need to talk to my doctor, or maybe I need a new matress. Overall, I feel that my health could be better and I should do more thing for my health.

  1. Jamie,
    I understand and feel the exact same way. I work full time and have a three year old son who keeps me very busy. Jungling all these things makes life hard for me to include myself and my health first when always focusing on my family. I believe it is all about finding a healthy balance between it all. Sometimes I wonder if that is even possible but have to keep trying.
