"Pounding" Away

Our daughter graduated with her Associates Degree in Applied Sciences this past Friday in Nashville. The past 18 months have gone by very quickly. She is now awaiting her time to take the national certifying board exam to become a licensed massage therapist.

Now that she is home, she is part of our team that is focusing on the local "Get Fit Challenge" sponsored by FHN. Our unimaginative team name, Freeport Podiatry, consists of five folks trying to regain some semblance of fitness. Two are trying to get fit before their wedding in June. Two are trying to look and feel healthier before their daughter's wedding. One, recently married, is looking to get healthier (along with her new beau).

This past year was a revealing one for me as I was at a low point in health last January. Since that time I've been able to lose 25-30 pounds and regain better cardiovascular health. I still have room for improvement and look forward to getting to a more improved state of health. The Get Fit Challenge is a good way to maintain a level of accountability.

As the New Year morphs into its second month, it is a good reminder that it is necessary to take care of one's self if one is to be able to help others. Best of health in the New Year!
