“We can create a Heart Healthy Week. Ask yourself, “What behaviors can I change this week?” Make a small commitment and stick to it.
Some ideas: No eating after 6pm and no nibbling while cooking. If your watching TV, move during the 2 minute commercial breaks. Take the stairs at work.
Park the car just a little further away. No finishing the kids’ meals. Drink a little more water. Eat an extra piece of fruit or serving of veggies. Take a look around and identify a few behaviors you can change this week.
Make at least one small commitment of change that will help your heart health. – Keith
“Everyone needs to find the inspiration and motivation that can flip the switch that will lead to the heart healthier life that we deserve. The thing is that you have to reach for the switch and flip it yourself. Others may inspire and motivate you, but you have to make the first move. I say, Turn It On” – Keith
“Unfortunately, I know first hand what its like to have heart disease and open-heart surgery as a result of not taking care of myself. It can be a hard and challenging journey for many of us to a healthier life. The one thing I’ve learned is that the hard days last as long as we allow them to last. We can change our habits and make the right decisions on activity and nutrition.” – Keith
“Why should you be doing something to improve your heart health? I want you to think about what’s in it for you? Ask yourself this. What one thing would you like to do or feel that you can’t do now or haven’t felt in years?” – Keith
“Tomorrow’s a new day as is the next. We decide how that day will go by our actions. Plan ahead the night before. Think Heart Health for the day and keep it in your mind. Use little reminders such as notes to yourself to help keep you on track. Make the right decisions and the momentum builds 1 minute, 1 hour, and 1 day at a time. Make it your day:)” – KeithThis song makes me feel great:) I love the lyrics “Home is wherever I’m with you.” Did it put a smile on your face? – Keith

I had 3 radio interviews today. One host asked if I prayed about not overeating to stay healthy. Well, I don’t talk religion or politics. I did tell her I said Keith’s prayer. When I wake up I say “Help Me Make It Through The Day And Keep The Food At Bay”, and at night I say “At The End Of The Day I Kept The Food At Away.” – Keith
“A Lifestyle Change can be like a roller coaster. We’re nervous and scared before we get on it. The biggest fear is when it starts. After the first drop we feel relieved and catch our breath, although there may be some more ups and downs. When the ride is over we say it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. We’re usually happy that we can say, “We Did It”. Start your Heart Healthy ride today.” – Keith
“I didn’t know I could do that. We’ve all said those words? They’re true until we actually take the action to do what we thought we couldn’t do. Our lives can only move forward based on the action we take. What we need to realize is that for any challenge we face, we hold all the answers and solutions within ourselves. Yes, I can do it.” – Keith
“Remember, getting healthier and more fit is not a race or contest. HEART HEALTHY, YES or NO? Ask yourself this when you start to eat something or do something. I do it all the time. If you say NO, then you may do or eat less of it:)” – Keith
