Hello Group,
Here is my history ... well part of it anyway ... it's kind of wordy but Josh-hua said detailed and on occasion I can/will follow instructions. :)
I am recently retired and now have the time to really focus on what I want health wise for the rest of my life. All of my life I have been interested in health and have tried most of the procedures presented in either books or of late on the Internet. Of course all of this study and trying gives one a certain sense of what works or does not for yourself. Those that work one keeps (I have) and moves on with an eye open to improve.
Even tho I am now 64 my memory is still good enough to remember how I felt at say 35 (which I consider my physical prime) ... with years and menopause that prime has slowly declined. The world and my doctor included say "oh its old age it happens to everyone".
Sorry but my spiritual self knows different ... so I am ever on a quest to re achieve that excellence of physical health.
Somehow I ended up here (clearly the synchronicity of life) ... the program makes sense to me so I am starting. I am a true believer that there is no better money spent than on your own health. So shortly I will see how well this process works for me.
I am a workaholic (probably class A) ... there is ever some new and exciting venture upon which to embark ... I am always reaching for that next brass ring ... resisting the urge to snatch up 2 or 3 with each pass. Somewhere along the way I learned it is better to focus on one and if the rest are true opportunity they will come round again.
My doctor and I are ever at odds because there is always some new aid (pharmaceutical) to help us age gracefully ... it frustrates him because I refuse. For instance my cholesterol went from 156 to 175 and he had some medication that would do the trick (I refused) ... I used a healthy alternative and in a month it was back to normal ... he learned ... what I already knew.
My blood pressure is higher than he would like ... that bothers him ... I am not sure "my normal" should be adjusted ... I do however take that medication because I feel better when I do ... he advises I must take it the rest of my life ... I do not buy that and hope this program will correct that situation.
I only sleep perhaps 4 or 5 hours a night (not because I can't ... but because there is always some exciting thing to learn or do) ... I go to bed and sleep until I wake up then start my new day. I love the night while the rest of my world is asleep. My schedule is my own doing and I dance to my own tune.
My diet is fairly healthy ... I avoid sugar and white flower ... I have been mindful of food combining for many years ... it works for me.
I do love chocolate however and periodically will sit down to several pieces of homemade fudge ... I figure blow it all at once ... eat enough to get over it then move on ... that usually works without upsetting things much.
I do not exercise ... though for years I lifted free weights and that plus not totally putting garbage in my body has kept me relatively healthy and in good shape. Adding more exercise now is probably a good idea. I will probably start lifting weights again because my physical strength is not what it use to be.
So why am I here?
There is always room for improvement.
I have a chronic sciatic nerve pain that the doctors can not find a reason for ... I refuse to take pain pills.
My finger nails are thin and break easily ... though they grow fast and I keep them fairly long ... they do not break because I hit them on something they kind of split at the edges.
My ankles swell with the long hours I spend sitting on the computer.
My energy level is not what it use to be.
I would like to know that the tons of vitamins I take a day were actually being digested and utilized by my body ... today I am not at all sure that is what is happening. I do not mind spending $200 a month on vitamins if my body is capable of assimilating them.
For fun I love my computers ... I started with a new computer in 1995 simply to use an astrology program ... before I knew it I was tossed into the middle of having to learn much more about the computer world. That has evolved into web and graphic design ... I am a hardware, software, script and program nut ... if its new and useful I probably want and get it.
I guess that pretty much sums it up for the moment. ;)
