Our Realization
We were thinking that it’s time. We wanted to be healthier than our parents and have a future that didn’t involve medication or sitting around the table doing nothing; to live longer to do stuff with our grandchildren. The only way to make a change was to get exercise and our eating habits under control.
Our Challenge
We were both skeptical at first. It’s hard to try something new. You never know what you’re gonna get into. Between the two of us, our struggle was losing weight and maintaining it. Together we had to change our eating, change the way we exercised. If we can do it, anybody can.
Our Motivation
Being diagnosed with high blood pressure, and the possibility of having to be on medications, is all the motivation needed. And being able to do this together helped us stay on track and motivated. Now we feel that we’ve got more years ahead of us than we would have otherwise. It’s life changing.

Our Plan to Stay Healthy
Eat Mindfully
We focus on portion sizes and monitor the number of calories to control how much we eat. We’re eating more greens and less meat. More fruits and less high-saturated-fat foods. It’s all in moderation.
Have Cheat Days
We’re enjoying what we like but not overindulging. You don’t have to like kale to be healthy. We continue to eat the foods that we like. If we do it in moderation, we can still feel and be healthy.
Be Accountable
We support each other by staying on track together. Riding our bikes together is our new exercise routine. It makes us feel young, like kids again. We feel like new people and we’re much happier now.
