DEL.ICIO.USGet Real
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
2007 is around the corner and it’s the time of the year to re-evaluate your career, lifestyle, and health status.
So this year when you look in the mirror to evaluate your physical fitness and appearance, get real with yourself.
Don’t convince yourself you are just 5 pounds overweight (when you are really 20 lbs) and then tell yourself that 5 pounds does not really matter in the overall scheme of things so you don’t have to make any adjustments to your exercise routine or eating habits.
Instead, calculate your BMI ( and don’t guess your weight, really step on an accurate scale). Use this link to easily calculate your BMI: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Once you have the objective numbers, make an action plan and stick with it. Bring health care professionals into your plan development (nutritionists, physical therapists, physicians) and schedule your yearly physical with your primary care physician to get the status of other important numbers like blood lipid levels, bone density, etc.
