Are You Health Conscious?

    except every 28 days when chocolate is not safe around me Oh Yea!!

    I am very health conscious - but in moderation. I like my beer & margaritas - I also like an occasional sausage dog and nachos - but I exercise almost every day for an hour (I jazz dance and lift weights) and I eat 3-5 servings of fruit, 2 servings of milk, limited red meat, take antioxidant vitamins, etc. I know I'm going to die some day - but I also know that I'm growing old and I want to make my life the best while I can. I want to be 75 and still going to senior functions having fun, not 75 and in a nursing home because I can't breath or walk due to bad health.

    Not to say something unforseen might happen to me - but I'm doing my best to make the best of the time I have here.

    (((Cruzan))) take care, best wishes !!!

    To answer the question : NO ... But I workout sometimes by period but it is always too much at the same time (stupid so I get quickly tired of it) diet : Ooops sorry I like chocolat too much , but sometimes I forget to eat a whole day it depends on what I'm doing I guess.

    Stacy, if you're the first kid in your family you'll take after your dad, so look at his side of the family to see what you'll be like when you're older.

    Oh noooooo I'm going to be bald!!!

    Don't worry Stacy, you probably have a good head for it.

    "are you bald?" "not nearly enough"

    I'm probably the last person to be preaching, cuz I sure am not practising, not really... but here goes anyway....

    The old chestnut "we're all gonna die someday anyway" is a totally moronic way to look at eating and excercising and smoking/drinking etc.

    Here's why it's so f***** stupid: it's not about dying, it's about how good life was till you got to that day. No one with emphysema thinks it was worth it to smoke, no one who can't get up a flight of stairs thinks biggy sizing the fries was a good idea, and no one who spends 15 years in misery waiting to die thinks 15 years of partying was a good tradeoff.

    Every Sunday morning instead of going to meetings, I play tennis. I do that a minimum of 4 times per week. But I love junk, too. But a little bit of everything in moderation is fine......NINA----I hope you're OK!!!!!

    I drink too much beer if 3 pints a day is too much. I'm a stone heavier than I should be. I eat very healthily, though, always my 5 fruit or veg, lots of fish and very little sugar. I don't smoke and I gym twice a week. My job is physically demanding, up and down ladders all day. I whizz all the fitness tests, chest expansion is 3 inches, I can do the "Blow job" test and get the pointer most of the way down the tube. Blood pressure is around 136 over 80, blood salts are fine too.

    I'm not super fit by any means, but I feel pretty good most of the time. I have a leaky heart valve that benefits from areobic exercise, so I try to do plenty of that.
