Aimee's Health Resolutions for 2009

by Aimee Amodio

29 Dec 2008 02:36 PM

Looking back at 2008, I did manage to keep a few of my resolutions (and failed on some others). I haven't been using the free gym at my complex, but I did discover that the hot tub is open all year. I have been walking more (with and without the dogs), and even got out on my bike a few times.

It's that time of year: time to start thinking about New Year's resolutions. I like the idea of a fresh start for the New Year. But I don't always stick with my resolutions. I think that's because I try to make them too big and too broad. Know what I mean? Get in shape. Eat better.

Lately when I blow my nose, I see red or brown streaks on the tissue. What's going on? I've had a stuffy nose lately -- but I thought it was just fall allergies. Should I be worried? I don't think you have an emergency on your hands.

When winter comes, I notice that I'm a lot more static-y. The worst is getting out of the car -- I always get a shock when I'm closing the door! What's behind the "shocking" change? I have the same problem -- winter seems to be my time to give and receive a lot of those little static jolts.

I don't want to put a damper on your summer fun... but that chlorine in your pool is a pretty powerful chemical. Chlorine can be highly irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract if not diluted. The upside of chlorine: this chemical helps disinfect the pool water.

Do the holidays leave you feeling rested? Or are you tired from all the extra stuff -- the parties, the running around, the shopping, the extra commitments? Sleep can become a problem during the holiday season. Why? Maybe you've got more on your social calendar.
