2/5: On a scale of 1-10, how is your health?

2012: I would say my health is at 9. I have made lots of progress in last 3-4 yrs. Not that my health ever was in bad shape, but I feel much better about my future health because of the changes I've made in my diet lately. After I bought BlendTec, one thing led to another. I've started to drink green smoothie. I started to grow sprouts(alfalfa, broccoli, clover, radish), eat more of sprouted mung beans and recently started to grow sprouts of mix of beans(mung, moth, adzuki/red chori, urad, peanuts, garbanzo) and bring to work for lunch at least 3 times a week. 

I know I don't exercise as much as I should. I hike in summer, walk most days at work(fast walk with Kerry), but it's not much compared to what I should be doing to keep my body fit. If Kerry ends up working from home or takes a week off, you guessed it! LOL I wouldn't go for a walk just by myself!  Some day, I'll get better about it.

2013: Still excellent! It seems like I have gained some weight lately, but I can't say for sure as I hardly ever weigh myself. As a precaution, I've started to reduce my carb intake just by little bit. Not any huge changes, but just in moderation. I still drink green smoothie every day and although I had gotten away from sprout mix salad, I just started back on it last month.

2014: Still at 9, since there is always room for improvement! However, I started CrossFit back in July and doing great with it! My cardio has improved and so has my endurance. Still working on my strength, but I'm doing MUCH better than I ever did! Still doing great with food/diet. Drinking green smoothie every morning, eat sprouts when I can, avoid junk food...

2015: Excellent! For the first time ever, I've got my blood work done, mammogram done, pap smears and all.. everything came out normal! Not that I needed the proof that I was healthy, it doesn't hurt to know that there really aren't any underlying problems. Doing great progress in physical fitness too! Going for crossfit 5 days a week!

2018: Just got all the tests done again and everything came out great! I know I have slacked in last two years as far as workouts go, but I'm getting back on track. Actually, hiking to Mt. Everest Base Camp in less than two months!!!
