The goal for this blog is to create a public accountability for my approach to my own health. My first thought was to approach this entirely as a weight loss program. As I continue to research what healthy living is, I have realized that those who really make a change to have better bodies are in it for the long haul. Like most everyone I have gone through phases of high and low weight during my life. And of course it is during those healthier times of lower weight and greater activity that I look back with a certain envy of my health at that point.
Like everyone has felt at some point, I reflect back at more energy and stamina, better sleep, attitude toward life, confidence in my self, and an all around feeling of being in control of my world and myself.
This has lead me to challenge myself in what may be my best effort at self discipline than at any point of my life. For a man approaching fifty by next year, and a self diagnosed tendency of adult ADHD this will be somewhat of an accomplishment.
Because of this I will be breaking down my lifetime goals into stages, missions, and phases to allow myself to celebrate every opportunity for success. It is those little individual victories that make life a journey that is meaningful.
For those who know me - I hope that you will comment and encourage me. You all know the number of challenges I have been through. It has been extraordinary to say the least. I have been blessed with some outstanding family and friends that have always been accepting and loving. I am looking forward to meeting and hearing from new friends. Ultimately, I am hoping to be an encouragement to others as well.
Healthy living can mean many different things. My philosophy is centered around a spiritual core that will will guide me and serves as a basis to all of my values. With this in mind, my vision of health is one that includes body, mind, and soul. This blog will be mainly an account of a journey of attaining a healthy body. It will serve as a place to record the progress that I will make and give an account of "getting there". Although I do have a certain picture of what I believe that will look like, I also wish to give a full account of what I learn to do with my health beyond that picture.
Thank you for visiting my site.......
