Self Assessment

I would rate my preventative care ok even though I answered 8 out of 10 questions "yes." I do not eat healthy whatsoever. That needs to change and change quickly! Don't get me wrong I do eat veggies and fruits but not like I should. I need to eat a piece of fruit in between meals. I think that would be good for me. I think water is part of a healthy diet, which I do not drink. I will drink Propel but not regular water. I hate water. That is so sad and bad. I do not exercise on a regular basis. We used to walk every night if not every other night. My excuse is I do not have any time. We have talked about walking in the morning but never went through it. I do get a lot of sleep. I probably get too much. I try to allow myself at least 8 hours of sleep. I do avoid drugs and tobacco period. For the most part, I do not drink. I will occassionally drink with our friends but it is not an every weekend thing. My opinion about drinking is I am over that part in my life. I do use contraceptives when sexually active. I do love to socialize with family and friends. I do practice safe behaviors. I use my selt belt, I hate when people drink and drive so I do not do that! I do use nonviolent methods of conflict resolution. I try to see my doctor on a regular basis. She is in Plano and I live in Burleson.
I think I need to a lot more to improve my health. I use to be healthier. In high school I worked out, played sports and lifted weights. My eating habits still continue which are not great at all. I am just getting older and need to do more about my health. I don't think I am in bad shape BUT it is not like it used to be when I was in school. I would like to get to that point again. We have a bo-flex we are going to set up and use. We will start walking one of these days. I need to change my eating habits as well. It is just so hard because it used to be so easy.
