Average Joe I am. Single and doing well taking care of myself. I enjoy the outdoors, the elements, adventure. The one thing I think I enjoy the most is food. I limit the fast food and the restaurants, but I certainly will not completely exclude them. I struggle with complete balance, but I submit to my bodies warnings. I have bouts with gastritis so fried foods, a lot of meat and sugar is not something I choose to indulge in. I eat when I what, pretty much what I want (sometimes when not hungry) but I rarely over do it. I am still over weight but I care more about my heart than I do my looks so, I exercise daily. I am also lactose intolerant but love dairy, so a stocked up on lactaid pills etc. I have my physical ailments since my fast and adventurous past have taken it’s toll, being 50 I can certainly relate to my avatar. However, I do take pride in the fact, I use very little if any, in the way of medicines or drugs. An occasional tylenol, and more rarely (once or twice a year), a motrin 800 are required depending on the days activities. After all this I feel great more often than not. I use a doctor to check the blood works but I only complain when I get a cold or flu, which too, has been quite rare. I am an avid believer that attitude is a big part in maintaining not only mental health, but physical health as well. =)
