Yesterday, when I was at the gym. It was there while I was warming up on the treadmill. At the same time I was flipping through the channels on the little television, in front of me. Just about every channel had some commercial, infomercial, or discussion about living a better life through better physical or mental health.
Last Sunday, at church, our pastor proudly announced, during his sermon that he had lost 25 pounds last year. His goal for 2010 was to get in even better physical health.
At the start of 2010, I renew my fitness and healthy goals. I am proud to announce I had met mine for 2009. For 2010 they are the same with a modest improvement.
What I find through the discussion about health and fitness, there is no cost per pound lost. Neither do I hear any numbers for percentage of failure from a diet and/or exercise program. I believe that get fit and healthy quick schemes are like get rich quick schemes. They do not exist.
Just by what I wrote in the last paragraph eliminates just about all of the fitness advertisement on television. Then you have the health drinks, juicers, and blenders, where all you need is some common sense and a good blender. Over priced powders, bars, and prepared meals are for those who do not have the time to fix good well balance meals.
Now that I have saved you about $100 or more per month, let us look at a rather unique approach. What does your body and mind need?
- Start with asking your family doctor what he would recommend for you.
- Go to a place like HealthandWellness.com for some guidelines.
- Write down the number one health issue you need to resolve
- Then with the help of a professional in the area, set some small goals in resolving or greatly reducing that health issue.
Hello, This blog is very interesting and enjoyable to read. I am a big fan of the subjects discussed.

Do you actually think that that was the simplest ways to make a point?
There are a few excellent points made here.
Usually, I am not awfully keen on politics. but, every so often all of us have to pause for thought. Interesting, thanks.
