This is for my ladies!
You know I am coming after my girlfriends who smoke, do not exercise or eat unhealthily. I know you all read my blog—you tell me so all the time—so I figure I would sneak in a post about your heart health and see if you noticed I was talking about you.
I just entered the “club” (as TP says, lol). That would be the 40 year old club. This means many of my girlfriends are right behind me—although I have heard that some of them are bypassing it and going straight for the 21 club. Umm…yeah. But for those of us who are brave enough to enter the club, we have more to think about now than wrinkles and “cougar” status. Heart health is key!
If you have been reading my blog, I am representing the AHA Better U program for the month of February and into March and April. Every week I will have a post on this topic giving you the lecture of a lifetime good information about how to be heart healthy. And you need to listen. (By the end I know I will be calling y’alls out by name.)
During week 2 of the Better U program it calls for you to follow Your Personal Course of Action. OH I LOVE THIS!
Let me break that down for you:
Your Personal: This means this is yours. Not mine. Yours. YOU decide what it’s going to be—so no pressure here. Go at your own pace. YOU put it into action—this means there’s some accountability on your part but it’s worth it. Lastly, YOU reap the benefits—not your doctor, not me, just you. There is a personal reward in this for you—Heart Health!
Course: This word implies plan with a known destination. You are going to PLAN for your success. There is a road to be charted, paved and followed. No mystery involved. And because it is Your Personal course, you set your own destiny, your own pace, if you want someone on the course with you, how long the course will be, etc.
Action: DO something! Quit smoking, eat better, exercise, pay your bills (Ooo, sorry. Did I just put someone out there? Bwahahaha, j/k) I don’t care what it is, just put something in action! This means to move. To head toward a result. Let’s just do this and get it over with, shall we? It must be horrible to be healthy, live a long life, enjoy your children and so on so let’s just try to make the best of it while we can.;)
Ok…that’s my heart healthy lecture of the day. Thanks for joining me in the fight for a healthy heart. I know I will reach you all soon enough. The stakes are too high. Love you!
Woop woop!:o)








I love your point about “YOUR PERSONAL PLAN” my plan is MY plan. Just because I eat it or lift it or pedal it doesn’t mean you should, too. End rant.
