1. Yes, I pray and Thank the Lord for keeping me so healthy this past year. My blood pressure is great, HDL/LDL ideal for my age and besides the occassional aches and pains (thanks to my military days), I am blessed with a healthy body, mind and working on my soul lately!
2. My weight fluctuated a little this year. At first due to high cortisol levels linked to stress. It is stable now despite the little time I have to work out. That green tea is awesome! And of course meditation and my Rhodiola supplements helped lowered the cortisol. I'd like to get back to my work out routine next year.
3. The only thing pending is a shoulder surgery due to an injury last year playing basketball with my son. I cannot postpone this for ever, just need time off from my caregiving duties as the surgery will require total rest of that shoulder for 5-6 weeks. Hard to get that time off nowadays.
HEALTH is the most precious commodity. Despite all the political scandles, financial crisis, bad economy, unemployment, etc we are blessed to have a country that offers so many opportunities to stay healthy, but it is up to each of us to take the first step to return to health and improve the quality of our lives. May the New Year offer more of those opportunties and may we find the courage to commit to self-care, health and wellness of body, mind and spirit.
