A few weeks ago, a friend wrote an informative article about colorectal cancer. I have read it of course but has not taken the important details to heart. But now, I am reading it again and paying attention .

For someone who has been through an open choly years ago, I feel I have a lot of improvement to do regarding my lifestyle especially my diet.

A colon cleanse is also being considered among other things.

There may or may not be a connection with the procedure I went through and this condition but then again, now is always the right time to try to live a more healthy lifestyle, isn’t it?

Have you started a lifestyle change?

Truth is, I have bad eyesight. I can’t even read subtitles in the movies nor see what is written on the food menu of fast food places around me. I am almost blind in a room lighted with white light.

Yes, either I get a new pair of eyeglasses, a +2.50 prescription a year ago. I am seriously considering a lasik surgery Mexico package except that I don’t have the budget for the Mexico part

Maybe I see no need to wear glasses yet again except of course when I need to read movie subtitles. Other wise, I am just fine, thank you very much

Yes, it took me a while a looong time before I decided to hit the pavements again. From  my last walk, it was December 13, based on the pic on my camphone.

My reason for going back is not because I aim to run the shortest distance there is in a marathon (I would get there in due time, ) but because I need to have a fitness routine which can make me feel invigorated at least, for the rest of the day.

Lately I have noticed that I have been feeling lethargic and I could sleep before one can even finish saying “natural sleep aids” which I probably have no need of. I can go into a sleep-induced oblivion at the drop of a hat.

I don’t think this is because I wake up at an ungodly hour because my eldest daughter needs to be fetched by the school service early nor it has to do with spending time in front of this gadget.

For now, I will will myself to take those little steps to be healthier.

I used to do morning walks/run two-three times a week but I have lost interest. I only got a play list to accompany me. I see a group of elders who also walk but since I do not know them I did not want to introduce myself to them so I could join them.

I told myself at the beginning of the year that I should step up the yoga that I have started last year but none of that happened. Yet.

At least the family and I do a  once a week walking/running habit. (like its enough huh?)

For now, I need to get up and do something about that slice of chocolate cake hubby and I shared a while ago

I know because my son is having asthma attacks now and I am suffering from allergy right now, with my eyes all red and itchy too. Achoo! Excuse me.

Asthma season is in I think, since we have been having gray skies for days with drizzles now and then (yeah, I sound like a weather reporter).

A friend has been looking for eczema treatment because her condition has worsened after the holidays and two culprits would be because of the food served during Christmas season plus the pollens floating all around.

Dirty air, go away! Please.

If a woman wants to conceive a child, then she should consider stopping smoking, drinking alcohol, having proper nutrition and not consider taking substances that tend to be abused.

Upon conception, the mother/would-be mother should take extra care of herself: going regularly to prenatal check-ups, taking lots of rest, eating healthy food, taking in prenatal vitamins, avoiding getting too stressed, basically maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
