What is “Health”?
Health = Your body and mind operating smoothly.
There, we’re done. Hope you enjoyed the post.
What? Do I hear grumbling from the masses? Do I hear the stirrings of an “Occupy the Blog-o-sphere Movement?
Ok, ok, since you insist, I’ll elaborate; you guys should know by now that it doesn’t take much to get me to expand on any topic. LOL @ myself. 🙂
Let’s “Google” it!
So, what does “health” mean? I did a Google search for health and got this:
Over a billion hits. That is “Billion” with a “B!” — Aha! A chance to use my Librarian skills! Woo Hoo!
Take note: When doing a keyword search, adding more words in the search box, or the addition of suffixes, means fewer hits. So, let’s add a “y” and do a search for healthy:
Prepping for the New Year: Resolutions, Big Bang, Kaizen
I had to share this awesome post that I ran across while surfing the Blog-o-sphere:
Prepping for the New Year: Resolutions, Big Bang, Kaizen.
It is from a guy who blogs over at “52 Weeks, 52 Pounds: Weight Loss, fitness, insanity“
He is further along on his own journey to living healthy but he started the same way that I’m advocating: begin by making small changes. Keep it simple, keep working at it, and one day you’ll discover all those small changes have created a healthy you! Think of each change as a grain of sand. Keep adding a single grain of sand at a time and eventually you’ll have an awesome beach!
See ya on the dance floor!

Ok, confession time, I feel awful right now. As in this second.
Right this very minute!
Why do I suddenly feel like I’m on the set of Mame and everybody is about to break into a round of “We need a little Christmas?” Hmmm….
But I digress…
I didn’t sleep very well last night at all. I went to bed on time, 11:30pm and my alarm was set for 6:30am. (Allow me to insert a momentary aside…after much thought and evaluation of my daily routine and weekly work schedule, I decided that if I wanted to be consistent in when I go to bed and get up, that (1) 7 hours of sleep is the most that I can count on as a consistent routine thing; and (2) I forget what two was. I need more coffee.)

2011-12-22, Week 1, Weekly Progress Photos: Third Time’s the Charm!
When I decided, ages ago, that I wanted to do this series of photos, I went to Academy Sports and bought four red shirts and four black pair of shorts. The were in sizes XL – Med. A little while ago when I put on the XL shirt. It didn’t fit.
Saying that “It didn’t fit” is like saying “The Mona Lisa is a famous painting.”

- I don’t have to worry about breakdowns any more for 100,000 miles (bought an extended mechanical warranty) which means less stress and improved health.
- I don’t have to worry about new tires for the next 3 years (bought a tire warranty) which means less stress and improved health.
- I lost 1 pound from this week (Jenny Craig Weigh-in)
- Lost .51 % Body Fat
- Lost inches.
