Wellness Evaluation: Fill & Download for Free

Chicago Police Officer.I even took the written exam. That’s the first of several tests you have to pass to be a Chicago cop. I passed it. The next exam was the Peace Officer Wellness Evaluation Report (P.O.W.E.R.) test. That is, the physical fitness test.At that point in my life, I’d lost 130 pounds and was feeling great about myself. But I still wasn’t as fit as I needed to be. I’d been training as best I could for the POWER test. That’s what was pushing me to lose weight. But, when I got the letter with the date and time for the test, I knew I wouldn’t be ready in time. Specifically, the 1.5 mile run and the sit-and-reach were my weak points.Reaching 16 inches past my toes seemed like an impossibility. I could barely reach my toes, period, even at my peak fitness. And I’d never been a fast runner. It wasn’t due to lack of breath, but because of knee and ankle pain that I couldn’t run too fast.The POWER test was on a Saturday. I’d have to take off of work to do it.So I didn’t go. I skipped the test and worked that morning.I didn’t know then that had I showed up and at least tried, I could have re-taken the test, but since I didn’t even show up, my name was dropped from their list.One thing led to another, time went on, I quit working out so much, got married, had kids, quit working out altogether, and the weight started coming back. I’ve made half-assed attempts to get back in shape since then, but my heart hasn’t been in it.

After following all the common sense advice about drinking water, using good skin care, exercising, not squeezing my pimples, eating good food and sleeping well, things didn't get better for me. Then, after hitting a frustrating point in my life, I went to see a dermatologist. Taking lots of antibiotics and Accutane didn't help either. I had a relapse of cystic acne. More money spent on cosmetic lasers —didn't work much either.What I know now, has helped me have better health and better skin. I wish someone had told me earlier.Maintain a healthy gut.A gut that lacks good bacteria cannot digest and absorb whatever you put into it. Having a healthy biome in your body regulates your systems on autopilot. There is no real need to force yourself to have ‘good’ and ‘healthy’ habits when your body is running its systems well.Evaluate your lifestyle. You know the common advice for good skin and good health. Get honest with yourself about what is realistic and achievable for you. Make an effort to practice healthy habits which are lacking.Do some research and get solid advice on probiotics and whatever helps your gut stay healthy.Then, stick to it.Your health, and consequently your skin, will see a huge improvement.Good luck.

The newspapers have been full of detailed counts of the passengers, with biographies and pictures of all the people of the newspapers own nationalities, and many others, especially when there is a good sob story. I would say that this group has been a well evaluated as any group ever has been.
