The 10-20-30 Life Wellness Plan

My interest in fitness, nutrition and health goes back over 15 years.  I developed and have lived The 10-20-30 Life Wellness Plan for the past 12 years and have maintained detailed lab records of my progress   My motivation to pursue wellness was a result of high cholesterol readings.  I thought I was living a healthy life.  I was not overweight and was very active.  I found out that what you eat and the health choices you make, no matter what your age, do make a difference in your overall life wellness.   What I learned and how I have applied it are the basis of this book. 

This book is about wellness and is provided to improve the life you live.  We all lead busy lives  - going places, doing things and constantly working to improve our life.  But consider too that we are a most unique life form.  We can think, plan for the future, feel and control many things that happen to us in life.  We also can make choices that may cause problems in our life or make our life better.  Unlike other living species on this planet, many humans have ruined their bodies through neglect, misuse and excesses of our lavish way of life.   I want to help and do something to make a positive difference in the lives of others.  I want to motivate you to live a life of wellness! 

There are doctors who can prescribe medical solutions for health problems.  There are counselors in nutrition who can advise you on proper eating habits.  There are also experts in the field of fitness who can coach you on the best exercise regime.  All of these areas are important in providing you a complete wellness program.  What I would like to provide is a compilation of information coupled with a common sense solution.  There are diet books, recipes, exercise regimes, and quick fix solutions for every kind of weight and body image problem.  Imagine the hundreds of books, all with a solution that works.  The solutions though will only work if the individuals who buy the books follow the plan. 

Even those with a well educated background may find some of these books to be complex with plans too difficult to follow.  Common sense indicates some of the published material may be too extensive for many people to comprehend and execute.  These books do offer solid advice, sound methods and are written by top experts in the field.  In fact many of them cover nearly 100 percent of what a person needs to do.  Part of the problem may be if a person is overwhelmed with the material and does not follow all the guidance, the 100 percent becomes zero percent.  The book is bought, reviewed and read with the best intention of self improvement.  But then the method, the lack of motivation or the complexity of the process takes its toll and the book is put on the shelf, often in the company of many others just like it. 

There has to be a solution that works, motivates, is simple and meets the common sense test.  Common sense allows the plan of execution to be less than a 100 percent solution.  A simple plan, even if it does not cover everything, is more likely to be understood, followed and most importantly maintained as a lifestyle change.  Someone following a plan that may only cover 80 percent of what you need to do is doing more than someone who gets defeated from the start and does not follow a more comprehensive plan. 

The 10-20-30 Life Wellness Plan does not cover 100 percent of the solution. The material contained here also has nothing new in it concerning life wellness  - I do not have that kind of expertise.  The reason I wanted to write this book is to gather and sort through the maze of data and provide information that passes the common sense test.  Simple carries so much more meaning.  It is an art to turn the complex into the simple.  And it is the simple that is doable, understandable and motivates people.  This book brings together the expertise of others, and blends it all together with life experience to provide the common sense, simple solution.  That is why I have such a strong passion to pass this information on to each of you.  My goal is to help others by giving them an easy to follow solution  - a plan that can be executed daily and will work for the rest of your life.
