Thanks to all for your patience as I have been on the mend. I had double heart bypass surgery in February of 2013, and I needed to focus on my recovery, which has been in steady progress. Thanks for your kind consideration.

Spring Is Upon Us: Update on Health Habits for March 2012

I wear my pedometer at all times to track my activity levels.

Spring is upon us.

I had a long, dreary week with the rains. I started out fine with activity and then, I couldn't keep the momentum. I had to rest. It's as if my body needed it. By the way, my weight stayed the same.

Here is an update on my health habits:

1. I'm still soda free.

2. Have been reading my Bible.

3. My back is better.

4. Decluttered at the beginning of the week.

5. Drank lots of water.

Goals for the upcoming week:

1. Limit sweets.

2. Limit bread.

3. Exercise more.

4. Continue to be soda free.

5. Go to sleep early.

6. Drink more smoothies.

I had a wonderful weekend.

I learned about what causes back pain. I also learned what I could do to alleviate it. One of the causes is sugar. That means that I have to avoid it like the plague to keep my sciatica away.

I look forward to the new week. The birds are already singing. The trees are bearing bright, green leaves. The bluebonnets are gracing San Antonio's grassy lands. That means it's gardening time--which should provide plenty of exercise and wonderful vegetables.

Well, thanks for reading about my spring fever. I hope this blog entry encourages someone to develop your own health goals.

How about you, my readers? Are you keeping up with any health goals for the month of March, related to your New Year's resolutions? How do you plan to improve your health at this point? I encourage you to assess your current health. It's a great opportunity to adjust your habits to improve your life.

If you need to improve your health, in any form, please ask God to help you; He will, if you pray for His guidance.
