The Start of a Good Thing!

After a few technical difficulties, the blog is up and running!

Friday began the official start for the 100 day heart challenge. What an eye opening event!! I can obviously look at myself and see that I am overweight, but to have the numbers staring at you in the face is quite a different feeling. I LOVED the presentations given by Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Carter. The numbers do not lie. Heart disease kills more people than any other type of disease. I am not going to be one of those statistics. My cute hubby and I are committed to change our lives...and if we can do that and win the contest....AWESOME!! But even if we don't win the contest but change our lives, that is the kind of win that matters most.

To all my family, friends, coworkers, and loved ones who may be following me on this blog...I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! Words of encouragement, compliments, and prayers on my behalf are always accepted. Treats of fruits, vegetables, and friendly smiles are encouraged but chocolate and other type of treats will be kindly discarded. My desk at work will no longer be the home for all of the goodies that people try to give away. This is not only a journey for me and Jeff, but for all of those that have to spend countless hours with me listening to my story and my personal battle for a better, healthier life.

So, Jeff, Aspen, family, friends, and fellow 100 day heart challenge participants, LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!

  3. I admire you and Jeff for allowing the newspaper to photograph you while exercising. That will help so many people. You are a shining light for all of us.
