Hey, clean livin' plus in my job I have to look good. I sell valves to men.

Actually, I try to take care of myself because cancer, heart disease & alzheimers all run in my family big time. My father had his first heart attach at 52. My cholesterol was up for a while, but I was able to get it down by modifying my diet. Several of my cousins have passed away from cancer. I've had a few cancer scares myself, as a result, have had a total hysterectomy and breast lump removed. I see my oncologist again next week. I don't have cancer, they are just making sure I don't get it. I just heard on the radio today that a study was completed that shows that women who workout regularly are 26% less likely to get breast cancer. Working out supresses the production of estrogen which they believe is a leading factor in breast cancer. I'm fortunate that we have a very nice gym not far from our home, and it only snows here about every 10 years or so. No problem getting there. It's a little expensive, but hey if it helps us live longer, healthier, what's a few extra dollars a month?

I know this is long, an may be in the wrong thread, but oh well, it's late & I'm too tired to edit.

I am so sorry, but I checked out the "Introduction Quiz" forum and found out before you PM's me. I feel so bad! But you look great.

You're doing all the right things. I wish, with my family history I would be more motivated. My father died of his first heart attack at the age of 60. My older sister died of cancer 3 days before her 40th birthday in '81. My older brother has had 3 heart attacks and he has congestive heart failure at 59. Not a good track record for my younger brother and myself.

I'm hoping once I go to Weight Watchers tomorrow that I will like it and that it will help me. I've tried everything else and I'm praying this works. I am also getting back on the treadmill. I'm starting that on Friday. I know I should start today, but I've always had to gear myself up, so please wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
