Good Intentions: Did you do well this year?

To eat extra veggies, relax more, smoke that last cigarette, see a dentist . . . We all strive to adopt changes that can add to our health, safety and well-being. How successful have you been with your health goals this year?

Assess your progress. Check the statements that apply to you:
I stay within 10-15 pounds of my healthiest weight.
I have established and follow a schedule for routine screening for primary conditions with my health care provider.
I usually get 7-8 hours of sleep a day.
I accumulate 30-60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
I do strength-building exercises 2-3 times a week.
I eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
I limit foods high in saturated fat (e.g., fatty cuts of red meat, full-fat dairy and butter) to 2 servings a week.
I buckle my seat belt for every trip.
I don’t smoke.
I avoid alcohol or limit intake to one drink a day (for women) or two a day (for men).
I never drive after drinking alcohol.
I floss my teeth every day.
I have at least one dental check per year.
I relax and find solitude nearly every day.
I have a network of friends for mutual support and fun.
I learn what I can about protecting my health.
I keep setting new goals.

Pursuing a positive lifestyle is a quest that can improve how you feel right now and for months and years to come. Get ready to set your goals for the coming new year.
