Sorry for the spam...

I have 3 ppl in my close circle that started looking for a way to improve health when a med test result showed concern the second time. First time ignored, second got their attention. I've talked for years about friends that got healthier with diet and exercise changes.

One got the pre diabetic scare. Walked 5 miles 2X per week like she was training for the Olympics. Now she runs 3X per week and competes in 10K races. She won her age bracket recently for the first time. Loves running, can't stand tennis or pickleball. Counts carbs bc that was he main food obsession.

And now has much improved blood pressure. And not remotely close to pre diabetic.

Another one... went to doc with extreme blood pressure, doc says go to ER, he refuses (no insurance). Decided to start walking an hour a day. Half mile first time. A year later, he's up to four miles a day, always in the South Texas heat and humidity. He says he's paying the price for his ignorance. Down 50 lbs to a healthy weight, looks great. Now eating better with a similar step by sustainable step approach to improve.

Anyone motivated can do it, one step at a time.
