Golf expense

My wife bought a 2nd hand ping putter from a friend for 50 bucks!

Cholesterol Fight

I came back from the doctor this morning and was excited that my blood cholesterol has dropped by 10 pts. The drop was over the last 3 months period. Thanks in part to the routine exercise I did in preparation for the triathlon and the reduction in diet (less deep fried pork, more on vege/fish).

Here are my cholesterol numbers so far:

Year    Total   
===    ===
2010   216
2011   226
2012   263 (may 2012)          253 (Aug 2012)


And this is what I have done to achieve measly 10 pts off my baggage!

Month             Swim             Bike           Run
====              ====            ===            ===
June                13k               158k            13k
July                  6.5k               52k            17k  
August             7.8k               40k            10k

Race Day - Aug 26 (TRI FACTOR TRIATHLON)

Few more days and Im off running for my 6th Triathlon (2x2010, 2x2011 and 1 in May). This race is a prep race for my sprint distance this coming Sept 26th.

According to run keeper log, I have had 23 activities in June and 11 activities in July. Did I rack up the numbers to achieve my weight and endurance goal?

Lets see...

Born to Run and CHIA seeds

I was reading this book called "BORN To RUN" and one application I have drawn from this is to spice my diet with CHIA SEEDS.

Yes. According to the book, these seeds are used to make "ISKIATE' drink which apparently rejuvenates and restrenghens one's energy level. I found one organic store in my adopted country and Im checking out ways how to use them.

Here's one forum contributor said on her comments:

I drink my chia smoothie every morning and feel full and energized. I use a frozen banana (cut into pieces of course before I freeze it), half a cup of wild frozen blueberries, a few frozen strawberries, hemp protein powder, 1 T of organic chia seeds, and aloe water. Delicious!

Health expense

Can health maintenance be quantified? Is gym and spa considered health indulgences? Here is my monthly spend on gym and massage. Gym - 40 dollars, Massage - 60 dollars. For a hundred bucks, I can maintain a healthy heart, body and soul.
