Are genetics playing against you?
Are you feeling good about where you are at your age?
Are you wanting to improve your health this year?
Are you facing some scary health concerns this year?


What are your obstacles this year?

Overall health sucks, but at least this year I have more answers than last year. I'm still not sure what I can and can't do - so many things are ruled out (repetative joint motions - so no walking or swimming, let alone running or the like) and my heart has decided to do it's wonkiness all the time now (loads and loads of arrhythmias), which get really out of control when it's stressed.

So I want to obviously STAY QUIT SMOKING!!!!! (day two baybee!!!) and maintain weight, and moderate daily activity. That's my goal

Absolutely!

I feel pretty good about my health. I am pretty happy with my weight, I have my workouts ramped back up, and the ole' body seems to be hanging in there.

I had a scare about a month ago though. They found a growth on my left ovary (5 cm.) and, due to the size and makeup of it, they weren't sure if it was cancerous or not. Testing is done and it isn't cancerous (). The hormones I am on kind of stink, but I am NOT complaining! Hopefully it won't require surgery. We'll know in a few weeks if the meds are working. (Say a little prayer please.) It isn't holding me back physically now!

I guess there is nothing majorly wrong with me, just lots of nagging little things that get worse as I age. There really is not much I can do about any of them. I cannot really do a lot of exercise because of my legs, but I have maintained the same weight for many years now.

I need to eat better and do everything I can to keep my stress down so I don't have issues with my thyroid again, but other than that I'm in pretty good shape. If my darn ankle would heal up I'd be in REALLY GREAT SHAPE!

Overall I don't really have anything majorly wrong with me. But I do need to lose 30 lbs, and want to be generally healthier. I want to eat better, make working out more of a priority, increase strength, and learn to take more time for myself!

I need to drink LESS pepsi and work out MORE. I am 10 lbs away from my goal, and want to reach it in 2009.

Overall I am in good health. We eat well, exercise, and take pretty good care of ourselves. I am giving up artificial sweeteners this year and it is not easy (I love coke zero!) and I am trying to avoid a lot of processed food. I am doing more cooking from scratch and I am going to keep less junk around for everyone to snack on. This is my big challenge for 2009.
