Be Active in North Carolina

This week was much better for me. I lost 1 pound. So, I’m a little over 13 lbs lost in 8 weeks. I can tell a difference in how I look and how my clothes fit. It’s a holiday weekend and thankfully I don’t have a lot planned. House and dog sitting which means I am by myself. No cookouts, no big temptations. But that comes next weekend. I’m going out of town for 2 1/2 days. Staying in a hotel and eating out. So, that means I need to be extra diligent this coming week.

This weekend I’ve been reviewing a study by a non-profit agency, be active North Carolina. The obesity rates in our state have tripled in the past 25 years. That is alarming!

The study talks about the medical consequences of this, lost time from work, monetary cost, premature death, etc. The goal of this agency is to empower North Carolinians to lead healthy, physically active lifestyles.
