Day One at D-1

I am sooo excited to have this AWESOME opportunity to turn back the clock on my body and my health by partnering with Eye Health Partners and participating in Healthquest! Over the last 7-8 years, I have been challenged with migraine headaches, depression, above normal cholesterol levels, lowering metabolism/weight gain, a slipping disc in my back and a sore knee. A couple of years ago, I started to exercise by walking every day. While I have a little more energy, the weight wasn't coming off, and the additional weight was causing increasing back and knee pain. I have been really frustrated at my inability to overcome these results of time and age!

I look forward to having more energy and less aches and pains. Of course, this week has been all about aches and pains! I am using pieces and parts that I haven't acknowledged in years, and they are making themselves well known this week! I carry most of my weight in my abdomen, and I have heard that fat storage in this area increases my risk of stroke, heart disease and cancer. With Ibuprophen and the encouragement of my family, friends and supporters, I will get through this first week and move closer to my goal of better health and fitness!

Cyndi,

How happy I am that you are on The HealthQuest! All the things you said are true for most of us as we age. I just don't know when I stopped being able to do the things we used to do so easily. But amid the pain and soreness, it sure feels great to know you are getting younger in your body!

Cyndi: Hey Girl! So excited about doing this journey together with you on my team. You are very encouraging and I have enjoyed our conversations outside of the workouts....and can pull your voice out of the shouts encouraging me and know you know my struggles and I yours and that causes me to muster up more strength. I'm sure we all will continue to bond in those ways and I am glad God has given us this opportunity for friendship, health and the health of our girls! Knowledge is power and we can do this!!!

Let's do it!
