This is so true! Why do we make it so hard for ourselves?
If we would spend more time making healthier choices and slowing down while we eat...we might cure the overweight epidemic.
And maybe...we might be healthier and live longer.

I Did It, So Can You!!
I don't often admit my age, but when it comes to my health, I know I have to talk about it.
A couple months ago I turned the big 4-0. Honestly, it felt like I just turned 21, the only difference was, I was already legal to drink but this time I had to go get my very first mammogram.
All I could visualize was, my boob (Yes, I just said that) being quashed like a pancake and it hurting like hell. Thank goodness I was legal to drink, cause I was gonna need one to get through it!
I was fortunate enough for my doctor's office to send me a friendly reminder to go get my mammo done, 'cause its not like I was rushing to go get it done! But the guilt set it and I knew as an obligation of "getting older," I had to go.
I made my appointment and lucky for me, their schedule was wide open. I walked in and took care of my paperwork. Then they took me back to this waiting area. I was offered coffee, tea and chocolates...seriously! The technician turned to me and said, "Would you like a cold or warm robe?" I replied, "I'm sorry - what?" It wasn't that it was 95 degrees out, I just was in shock that they offered a warm robe, which I chose anyway.
This place was definitely on to something. Coffee, tea, chocolates and warm robes...seriously, if EVERY doctor's office did this, women would be in there getting checked ALL THE TIME.
The technician was very kind and knew of my anxiety and she walked me through the process step by step. I am not sure there's a way to make a mammogram better, but this place was doing all it could to make me more comfortable and at ease.
Did it hurt? No, it was uncomfortable and there was pressure, but it did not hurt.
My appointment was 20 minutes total, most of it appointment was prep, the actual mammogram took a little more than 5 minutes. The results came the next day, and mine fortunately were good.
Both of my grandmother's often reminded me to "never get old" with a chuckle, and I would chuckle back thinking, well I am not sure I have a choice. I do wonder if the statement was in reference to the lack of mobility due to getting older - knees giving out, not being able to get up as easily or just not able to move as fast...or maybe it was because of those "getting older" tests that you get to do?
Either way, if you are of age or nearing the age of those special "getting older" tests...remember, these tests are preventative steps we can take to protect ourselves from cancer or catch it earlier. Avoiding them is not a ticket to avoiding sickness or worse, death.
Trust me, I did it, so can you!

REAL Results - 21 Days
What if you could get REAL results in 21 days...eating REAL food, with a REAL at-home workout? With people who have REAL struggles?
Would you want in?
I have helped nearly a hundred people lose weight and inches - a struggle they held on to for years. I have helped people gain back confidence and feel healthy - kicking bad habits to the curb.
Why me?
Because I know what it feels like to try - over and over again - to lose weight - to drop a dress size - to get my health back on track. I tried dieting and failed. I tried running and failed. I tried walking and other exercise programs and failed.
I know the battle between celery and cake. I know the guilt of binging on brownies. I know the excuses - I will start tomorrow.
I know all about hiding behind my kids in photographs. I know the frustration of not wanting to go shopping because I don't want to buy clothes because I am embarrassed by the size.
Join me!
21 days of:
• Eating real food - following a simple program
• 30 minute exercise
• Support and motivation
I won't promise you that it will be easy, but I promise you will get stronger, healthier and will see a change. I promise to support and motivate you. And if you don't get the results you were expecting - you can get your money back - guaranteed!
Sign me up!
We start on June 8, so hurry - I only have a few spots open!
Comment or email me and I will get you the details!
