I looked at the self assessment on page 57 and was not surprised by the results. I am fairly attentive to my health and try to eat well and exercise.
Of the ten questions posed, I had seven out of ten "yes" answers. Three of the questions, to which I responded NO, could definately be areas of improvement.
I do not get enought sleep, which is an area which I, like many working women with families, need to work harder to change. I think, women especially, get so caught up in our lives, and wear so many hats (work, school, mother, wife, daughter, friend, housekeeper, accountant), we often neglect ourselves in the process. Sleep is definately one of the first things to be sacrificed in our quest to complete our "to do" list.
I don't use condoms or any other barrier contraceptives. I don;t believe this is an area that will change or needs to change in the future. I have been married for 27 years to the same man and we are in a monogamous relationship.
I do not always exercise as often or hard as I need to for my health. I am currently trying to increase the amount of exercise I perform on a regular basis.
