*refues to answer this survey* -
1. Do you think that you're living a healthy lifestyle? Why or why not? Have you taken any recent medical tests / check-up's?
Yes, when I'm in Melbourne - it's a relatively healthy lifestyle. I walk a lot on a daily basis, I have to move about a lot and exert myself physically on the job, I eat healthily and my portions are controlled.
Yes, my last full medical check-up was done just a year ago. Everything's in order and under control. Clean bill of health!
2. What lifestyle habits do you think you will have to change in order to become healthier?
Think I'll have to incorporate regular exercises more. I hate cardio exercises but think that for the health benefits, I just have to somehow force myself to do it.
Also, I have to continue watching my daily dietary intake. If not careful, my tendency is to over-eat.
Other than that, I don't smoke and have never bothered to even try, and I very rarely drink and when I do drink, I prefer CHOYA. No other bad lifestyle habits except having a tendency to over-eat and being too lazy to exercise much.
3. How often do you exercise? What's your favourite activity? What new sports / activity would you love to try?
Daily walks.
Favourite exercise would be the BodyBalance, BodyPump, and Spinning classes in the gym.
I love 'em cause the modules incorporate really great music to exercise to and I NEED that musical distraction!
I'd love to try Rowing. I'd also love to learn how to ride a bicycle. And oh, instead of BodyBalance, enroll in a proper Yoga and/or Pilates class.
4. Imagine that you've just been given an entire week off! What would be your preferred way of spending that time-off?
Either spend that time lazing around at home, and making plans to go out for shopping / movies, or travel to some leisurely resort to veg out in scenic surroundings.
5. What is your opinion on diets?
Diets, esp fad diets, are stupid. They often do more harm than good and the effects are usually only temporary. Some diets might even endanger you in the long run.
6. Would you rather be slim and forever hungry and craving for food, or would you rather satisfy your urges and live with being plump / fat? Elaborate.
Depends, I go through phases. Right now, I'm torturing myself, trying to make sure I don't eat as much as I used to because one thing I've learnt is that we don't really need to eat that much to survive and that Singaporeans are forever over-eating.
7. What sports / activities do you consider to be dangerous and which you'll never ever embark on?
Hmm... bungee jumping can injure you really badly and give you an effect akin to whiplash and you could end up with serious spinal injuries. Not worth that risk.
Surfing's dangerous... can get hit by the board and get concussed or a serious brain hemorrhage if you fall off; can get bitten by hungry sealions or sharks, as is the case in Australia; etc.
Attempting daredevil acts is dangerous. Jumping off a cliff to dive is also dangerous. Hmm... can't think of anything else atm.
8. Have you ever spent time worrying about your health? Do you fear falling ill or being diagnosed with chronic ailments? What worries you?
Yes. I'm quite a worrier, as are most nurses and docs. We tend to over-diagnose ourselves each time we experience some symptoms!
I worry about falling ill with no family nor close friends to rally around me.
I worry about being ill and forgotten and poor...
I also worry about getting chronic debilitating illnesses like cancer, kidney failure, leukemia...

1. Do you think that you're living a healthy lifestyle? Why or why not? Have you taken any recent medical tests / check-up's?
Definately not I eat what I want and don't exercise. Too tired and lazy to exercise. At the end of the day I rather WoW or laze in bed after work. The thought of sweating it out at the gym just dun appeal to me (and the gym is like 2 mins walk away).
Medical test / check-up's ? What's that? *convinces herself that ignorance is bliss*

Unhealthy and quite blase about it LOL
1. Do you think that you're living a healthy lifestyle? Why or why not? Have you taken any recent medical tests / check-up's?
I lead an unhealthy lifestyle, too much food intake and too little exercise.
I've been to the Gynae early this year.

Eat moderately, more healthily and exercise more.
3. How often do you exercise? What's your favourite activity? What new sports / activity would you love to try?
Once a month if lucky - I usually swim. I enjoy dancing, it is probably the only exercise that doesn't feel like work ; would love to learn more new styles. Pilates on the rack .
4. Imagine that you've just been given an entire week off! What would be your preferred way of spending that time-off?
Mostly on R&R.
5. What is your opinion on diets?
Bad ones are painful LOL. Often wrongfully directly associated with starving models and eating disorders - technically any eating plan is a diet, even a forgiving, expansive one.
6. Would you rather be slim and forever hungry and craving for food, or would you rather satisfy your urges and live with being plump / fat? Elaborate.
If I could only choose one or the other, I would eat and grow fat. Life is too short to live in constant denial of enjoyment.
7. What sports / activities do you consider to be dangerous and which you'll never ever embark on?
Mountain climbing. Too heavy and center of gravity is too low... need arms of steel & stamina of mountain goat to hoist my mass upwards...
8. Have you ever spent time worrying about your health? Do you fear falling ill or being diagnosed with chronic ailments? What worries you?
Only enough to buy insurance. I do worry sometimes about my lifestyle habits, it is difficult to eat healthily when you have moved on from mummy's (ok la maid's ) home-cooked meals. Should do something about it.... -
elindra, a few of your answers made me laugh!
Bear, yours is hilarious!
And oh, btw elindra, if you know any guy who's single and who prefers their ladies plump, intro me, can? -

7. What sports / activities do you consider to be dangerous and which you'll never ever embark on?

Food Habits.
3. How often do you exercise? What's your favourite activity? What new sports / activity would you love to try?
I exercise as per requirement to activities i enjoy. Sigh so if I got a trek coming up, i do staircase climbing. I feel tortured. I hate it. But it allows me to enjoy the rest fo the activity.
4. Imagine that you've just been given an entire week off! What would be your preferred way of spending that time-off?
Camping at the beach.

Diets are good. Especially the hawker food diet and the huge burger and lots of meat diet.

I think my physical example will answer this quite amply. I focus on the word.. AMPLE.

Bungee Jumping and all these.
8. Have you ever spent time worrying about your health? Do you fear falling ill or being diagnosed with chronic ailments? What worries you?
Yes. But I'm better now
[/b] -
1. Do you think that you're living a healthy lifestyle? Why or why not? Have you taken any recent medical tests / check-up's?
No...I eat what I want and exercise when there's enough urge. Yes and it's a clean bill of health so far.

Get into the sunshine more often.

Rotting, or if I have the money, rotting in another country.
5. What is your opinion on diets?
There's no such thing as a good diet. Only eating in moderation works.
6. Would you rather be slim and forever hungry and craving for food, or would you rather satisfy your urges and live with being plump / fat? Elaborate.
Starving helps you appreciate a fraction of what famine victims go through.
7. What sports / activities do you consider to be dangerous and which you'll never ever embark on?
Golf
8. Have you ever spent time worrying about your health? Do you fear falling ill or being diagnosed with chronic ailments? What worries you?
The thought of being paralysed is nauseating. -

Yep, could be healthier but then I think it's not that bad......
2. What lifestyle habits do you think you will have to change in order to become healthier?
Set up a regular time for exercise.
3. How often do you exercise? What's your favourite activity? What new sports / activity would you love to try?
No regularity. Just do it when I have some time and when I can remember.
4. Imagine that you've just been given an entire week off! What would be your preferred way of spending that time-off?
I'll set aside 1-2 hours each morning to exercise and spend the rest of the day on some self-improvement reading/leisure.
5. What is your opinion on diets?
No opinion.
6. Would you rather be slim and forever hungry and craving for food, or would you rather satisfy your urges and live with being plump / fat? Elaborate.
Rather than wanting a particular figure by controlling the my eating habits, I would control my eating habits and accept whatever body shape I get as a result of my eating habits. For example, I believe in eating 3 main meals moderately and no/as little snacks in between meals. I refrain from carbonated rdrinks as much as possible and drink only water - about 6-8 cups a daily. Should I stick to this plan and still be fat, then i'll just accept myself being fat! And if I should be thin, so be it!
7. What sports / activities do you consider to be dangerous and which you'll never ever embark on?
Boxing, bungee jumping, sky-diving, mountaineering
8. Have you ever spent time worrying about your health? Do you fear falling ill or being diagnosed with chronic ailments? What worries you?
Yes, For your eyes only : I'll PM you the details.....
