Do you have days when your tasks are all on top of each other that you need reminders throughout the day? This website sends you a reminder e-mail at an appointment time to let you know about your deadline. You can also use this service to remind other people on your team and get notified once those tasks are accomplished. Pretty neat!

Fitness Blog

I just started a new blog on my journey to health and fitness.  Right now, I prefer to keep it private and only available to a few close friends.

However, if you would like to follow it or find yourself in the same journey, please let me know!  I can send you an invitation to the blog.

I am currently on Day 1 of a 40-day diet regimen just in time for our trip to the beach in March.  Keep me in your prayers!

What's My RealAge?

I found out about RealAge.com when I saw a part of the Best Life Series on Oprah. It is a comprehensive health test that determines the real age of your body based on how you have treated it from the time you were born.

A Spanish proverb said "A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools." I decided to take the test so that I can make immediate changes on the way I take care of my body.

After answering the questions online, I found out that my "real age" is:

From RealAge

While my calendar age is 32.9, my "real age" is 37.3. A +4.4 difference. Here are the recommendations to make myself "younger."

1) Get my HDL and LDL cholesterol checked

2) Reach out to more friends (While I truly love being available to help anyone, I admitted that I have very few people in my life who check on me -- which I would rather blame myself for)

3) Own a pet (I disagree on this one. They say a pet reduces stress. I think home training, picking up poop from the floor, pet care expenses and giving an animal a regular bath are very stressful activities)

4) Keep diversity in my diet

5) Take Vitamin E supplements

6) Cut down on red meat

7) Boost my Omega-3 intake (This means eat more fish! No problem with that!)

8) Pump up the potassium (I hate bananas)

9) Have some more fruit (Not a big fruit fan either. But I LOVE my veggies)

10) Eat more grains (I guess bleached white rice doesn't count hahaha)

11) Shed extra weight (Fo sho!)

How about you? What's your "real age?"
