I am. No, I don’t have those Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon Jobs or anything like that, still I feel like there are tons of things to do. But surprisingly I feel better when I have a lot of work. It keeps my mind occupied. Plus I feel like I want to make the most of whatever’s left of the school break. And whether I like it or not I know I have to be more active just so I can lose the extra pounds that I have been gaining over the last couple of weeks. 2012 should be a better and healthier year for us.
Since my eating too much this season has been giving me some tummy problems, I promise myself that I will try my very best to have a healthier diet this coming New Year. And hopefully I will be able to exercise more religiously. I just haven’t found the time to shop for new running shoes, but when I do, I will go balk to brisk walking on the treadmill. I hope I’d be brave enough to try yoga, and get myself a yoga mat and even a yoga meditation chair. Starting on these isn’t so hard, maintaining those activities is what I find more challenging.
Christmas, that is. I’m glad I am done shopping for the gifts. And since most of those gifts are for DS’ school, everything has been distributed as well. All that’s left to do is prepare the cash gifts for the relatives. I’m trying to finish work also so I can enjoy the holiday season. I probably should continue the cleaning and decluttering of the house and researching about single premium immediate annuities after Christmas instead. I might try out new recipes for Christmas Eve so I need all the time to learn and shop. Or maybe not. Should I just order food instead?
An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. I believe this is true. And so to keep mind from all the unhealthy thoughts, I am planning to re-visit my old hobbies and learn new ones. Scrapbooking will still remain a top priority though it doesn’t seem so as per my scrap output. Learning more about photography is likewise on my list. I like to work with my hands so I might give cross stitching a try again. I’d like to get a sewing machine and try to sew again, as well. I am also browsing the net for beads for jewelry making and beading ideas to see if it will spark my interest on it again. And most especially, I want to try baking. I do bake from time to time but it’s mostly straight out of the box. I want to try something from scratch this time.

I grabbed this from yahoo dot com. I am afraid though that almost half of the items on the list aren’t applicable here. For one, we live in a tropical country, thus a winter vest isn’t a necessity. I think a stainless steel necklace or a watch will make great gifts as well. Or a gym membership perhaps. A camera. A gadget. And I just realized that it isn’t actually so hard to get gifts for the guys.
Genetics play a big role in heart health. But lifestyle choices, like diet and exercise, play an even bigger part in preventing and reversing heart disease.
