3 of 12 Things

I've made a list of 12 things I commit to do this year, with the aim of maintaining wellness, work-life balance, and a well-rounded life. I've categorized them into physical, social, emotional, spiritual, financial, and intellectual activities.

Of the 12, three fall under the physical category -- all about my health. A month after resolving to do them faithfully, I find that I've pretty much stayed firm and true.

1. Exercise at least thrice a week. I used to do this more frequently, now I'm trying to make it a habit again. I've been meeting the minimum so far, but I should be able to up the ante soon. Sloth is truly seductive, and it must be resisted!!!

2. Limit softdrinks to 5 glasses a week. This cuts my regular weekly intake by half. (Hmmm...I must be semi-addicted to Coke Lite). Since start of year, I've been averaging only 3 glasses a week. Hopefully, I'd soon zero this out. I don't want my insides corroding after all!!!

3. Take multi-vitamins everyday. I'm not really into vitamins because I have this notion that the natural stuff (e.g. fruits) are sufficient to keep me healthy and strong. I realize now they aren't enough given my lifestyle and the weird, potent strains of sicknesses going around. I want to be complete!! (I'm not taking Centrum though hehe).

So far so good. What's tricky about these however is that they are not one-time activities, but ongoing commitments. Anyway, I'm thinking the next months should be easier since I already made it through the first. In any case -- I must persevere! I must resist temptation! I must stay firm and true! (Hahaha, OA!)
