Get Movin!


This blog is all about being healthy. Mostly it's just about being fat and losing weight though. According to the CDC - obesity is an epidemic in our country and severely increases your risk for:
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Dyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides)
  • Stroke
  • Liver and Gallbladder disease
  • Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
  • Osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint)
  • Gynecological problems (abnormal menses, infertility)
EW! We don't want those, and why should we be prone to these horrible medical conditions? Especially when the prevention of them is so simple - Diet and Exercise. So lets go on a journey together. A journey of weight loss and being healthy!
