My daddy and his mama both died at 47. My cousin (that's MY AGE and also on that side of my fam) died a couple wks ago at 46. All three of heart failure. Well, I turned 46 this month. You guessed it...I got to doing some serious thinking about genetics, my unhealthy eating habits, and this 20 extra lbs I've put on in my 40's. So I am making changes. Exactly a month ago I got an elliptical and started doing 45min a day. I've also dramatically changed my eating habits and am faithfully tracking macros. (I've got a great helper...one of my daughters is a personal trainer/fitness/nutrition coach...and fixing to graduate nursing school.) Anyway, after one month, I'm down 5lbs and feeling a lot stronger!! Still, daily motivation is key to it ALL...fitness AND diet, so I'm here looking for a support system, encouragement, feedback, and friendship! My name is April, I'm a mother to 5, and a grandma to 3. Add me if you'd like 😊
