Health and Well-being

I’ve always been aware of healthy living, but I didn’t appreciate the value of living a healthy life until my late 40’s and into my early 50’s. I felt fine, but hadn’t been to a doctor or stepped on a scale in years.

I felt if I did everything in moderation it would work itself out. The reality is that the body changes more than you think and realize.

Going into my senior year of high school I weighed around 160. I was in good shape, lifted Monday through Friday and did light workouts in the off-season. That season I wrestled mostly at 145 pounds. A few months before the outbreak of Covid, I stepped on a scale and weighed 199.8 pounds. It was the most I was ever aware of weighing.

I started to walk more regularly and decided to start playing racquetball, which I enjoyed in high school. I wasn’t watching my diet, but I was active and felt good. I met people and played two to three times a week.

On the first Saturday of August of 2024 I had played pickleball with some friends and then went to a noon concert at a local music festival where a friend was performing. After the show as I went to my car I had heat exhaustion and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

I was given basic guidelines to follow and from that created a nutritional diet plan. After three months my numbers from blood work were looking much better. I started walking and bought a smart watch for tracking food, vitals, and exercise.

I added in stationary bike riding and then weights to start rebuilding muscle.

The process worked. At the time I began doing weight circuit training, I was weighing a steady 155 give or take a couple pounds.

I transitioned from walking by my house to using trails on weekends when possible, which was aesthetically pleasing and peaceful.

My sleep and sleep cycle were much better and I had more energy throughout the day.

All of this led to me being more engaged in my Cognitive Connections and Information Delivery.

My productivity also transferred directly into my professional work.

Let’s talk about doing something different, together.
