Go Red for Women My Life Makeover

On December 9th, 2010, I started a new journey - a journey designed to help me and other women make heart healthy changes to their life.  I will be working with Dr. Joan Crawford and the wonderful team that has been assembled from St. John Macomb-Oakland Hospital and the American Heart Association Staff (Southfield, Michigan) to learn all I can about heart disease and what I can do to reduce my risk of developing heart-related problems or at least the severity of problems.  Dr. Crawford has encouraged the participants to journal.  I have started writing down my food intake and my physical activities.  Hopefully, writing these things down will make me more conscious of my choices - the good and the bad.
