Sally's Monthly Journal Entry #9
spacer January is a time when I like to celebrate last year's accomplishments and channel that uplifting energy into setting goals for the New Year. And when I think of the more than 60,000 women who visited my Web site in 2006 to learn more about osteoporosis, it reinvigorates my fighting spirit and keeps my momentum with this campaign going strong.
One goal for the coming year is to keep a balance among the three essential parts of my life: mind, body and soul. My mind is definitely stimulated and challenged by my work. And like last year, I will continue to push myself to the limit as an actor in 2007 and challenge myself to go beyond my comfort zone. It's so rewarding.

The energy I need to fuel that effort will come from exercising my body and renewing my promise to take care of my bones. An hour-long hike provides me with a tremendous cardiovascular workout as well as weight-bearing
spacer exercise to strengthen my bones. Keeping these activities a part of my life this year is a resolution I intend to keep.

Food for the soul? Literature and film do it for me. I always have a book or three going at one time. Right now it's The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters by Gordon Dahlquist, Things Fall Apart by the wonderful Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe and In a Different Voice by Carol Gilligan.

I hope you've set your own personal goals for 2007 and that taking care of your bone health is one of them.

Until next month, be well —
Signed, Sally Field
 
Look for Sally's next journal entry, as well as other information on managing postmenopausal osteoporosis. Talk to your doctor about how to manage your bone health, including diet, exercise, and treatment options.
