EXCERPT FROM DR. A'S HABITS OF HEALTH, BY DR. WAYNE S. ANDERSEN: (Chapter 3, page 24)

Tracking Your Progress

Where are you right now in relation to your goal? Remember, your current reality is constantly changing, so it needs regular updating. The actions you’re taking right now have impact you can measure. If one of your goals is to weigh 140 pounds, how much do you weigh now? Weigh yourself weekly to see. If your goal is to fit into that tight pair of jeans, how close are you? Try them on every few days to find out.

You may have other health goals, each one with its own current status. Maybe it’s a blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar goal, or a goal for increased energy and stamina, measured by how far you can walk or jog or swim. Each of these is one part of your optimal health picture, and each one should be tracked and updated as you manage the relationship between your actual situation and your desired goal.

Referrals are the best compliment I can ever receive from you.  Thank you in advance!
