My Health

I'm not sure where I'm going with this post, but here I go.  It's so easy to have an excuse for everything these days.  Lately the thought of working out is followed by a BIG FAT excuse.  I personally feel so much better about myself after a good sweat out from the gym. I can relieve so much stress and anxiety by dedicating myself to the gym for as little as 30 minutes in a day.

My whole world is wrapped around health.  I work in a hospital as a Respiratory Therapist and love the treatment aspect of health and in August of 2010 graduated with my Master's in Community Public Health.  I really like the prevention side!!!   Even though I haven't changed jobs since my MPH, I feel like I still utilize my degree in different areas.  The prevention side of health is truly my passion, and my long term goal is to be a Health Education Coordinator.  With that being said, I'm going to set some short term goals to keep myself in the mix of the prevention aspect of health.

Here we go:

1.  Workout at least 4 times a week.  -  I feel like this is important for my health.  I think that any Health Educator should set an example.

2.  Write at least 2 health related articles on my blog a week. -  This will help me stay connected with my health and up to date on current issues.

3.  Work on lifestyle changes with my eating. - I don't do to bad in this department, but I could make some changes.

4.  Subscribe to a couple of Women's Health magazines.  -  I enjoy reading health magazines and I think that they would help me gain some knowledge.

So........... here's my picks!

Wish me luck!!

I look forward to being held accountable!
