The decision

I have been feeling more responsible for my health lately and have been thinking about enacting a plan. Here is goes.....I have enlisted the help of a friend, Miles Coleman. In the principles of my belief system (religious) there is something called the word of wisdom (thus the WOW in the title). This suggests that adherants follow a health code. I do not violate the principles per se but push my limits. The WOW calls for eating things made for our bodies (i.e., grains, fruits, vegetables and other things in moderation). My wife, Rachel, would be jumping for joy if and when she reads this.

I have decided that I need to be more healthy with what I allow in my body. I do not plan to go cold turkey and eat like a rabbit. Rather, I do plan to moderate things in my life. I need to not eat some much, at midnight, I need to exercise more (but nothing too out of the ordinary). I am going to make small modification and chunk things for a better life in the future.

I talked with Miles about this and we agreed that this would be a good, needed thing for both of us. I set up this blog so we could each report our progress or missteps. We both will be reviewing principles of the gospel to help inspire what we need to do, make those goals and track ourselves.

I know that this seems like an amalgamation of words that do not make sense, but have the need to write as a means to commit myself to this process. Some of the outcomes that I have for myself is to generally eat more healthy, reduce my consumption of soda, do things to keep my activity up, and maybe loose a few pounds in the process. Miles and I decided to make this process principle based and not results. MODERATION IN ALL THINGS. We do not want to set ourselves up for failure.

That is it. I will report back with a plan and small goals.....Chris (part of the WOW team)
