If I want to be healthier I have to work harder at this. I must eat right, exercise, be spiritually in tune. Physical, emotional, spiritual is all related and intertwined. Its not easy to change old habits. My son started school yesterday to get his MBA. This is an international business school. A very good school known around the globe. One thing he was taught today was how to be healthy. To be in management of business it is important to be in the best health. He told me I did everything wrong and that is why I'm sick a lot. They learned that you are like a copy machine. A carbon copy of everything you put in your body. I have my job cut out for me. Years of eating and drinking junk.
I still make my drinks with sugar. I love sugar. I've given up the sodas. I've given up the chocolate bars. This is taking lots of discipline on my part. The payoff is very slow coming. That is what is difficult about this is, the slow process of gaining improved health. If I could see positive results right away, it would be easier. This will take much more faith on my part.
I'm looking forward to December when I'll be able to make orange juice and grapefruit juice from the citrus off the trees. Maybe then I'll substitute the fruit for the sugar drinks.
I've eaten out for a number of years. I'm already changing that part of my life. So many changes to make. Stress is high right now. My son did say stress is very bad for health.
I think I'll begin my food journal again. This will help me keep count of what I eat and pills I take. I think I'll add a spiritual journal with it. What I do to strengthen my spiritual muscles are just as important as food and exercise. I'm hoping in one year to see a measured difference.
I'll begin tomorrow.
1. improve diet
2. Improve exercise routine...daily stretching, and walking (i'm backing away from tennis and swimming at this time....tendinitis in my elbow and shoulder.)
3. Read Scriptures
4. Pray morning and night...First thing upon awaking and last thing before bed.
Wish me luck
Goodnight
