Go Red For Women - Wear Red February 5th

Six years ago, the American Heart Association started a movement to empower women to take control of their health and lower their risks of heart disease - our leading cause of death! This movement is called Go Red For Women.

I have been a volunteer for the American Heart Association for many years and serve as an ambassador for this campaign. Tomorow is National Wear Red Day and I encourage both men AND women to wear red and show your support.

As women, we tend to pt other people first - our family, friends, neighbors and the list goes on. Our health is a priority!

I encourage you to ...

Take the Go Red Heart CheckUp:
It is not enough to be aware of the risk factors associated with heart disease. You must take action to prevent it. The Go Red Heart CheckUp is an online tool that provides a 10-year, personal heart disease risk assessment. Once completed, women take their results to their healthcare provider and develop a personal health plan that matches their individual needs.

Wear the Red Dress pin:
Millions of Americans have added the red dress pin to their wardrobe to support the women and heart disease movement. It's cute, makes a statement and its free when you join the movement!
Participate in National Wear Red Day - February 5, 2010:
The American Heart Association encourages women to wear red – whether it is a red dress, a red t-shirt, a red dress pin or red lipstick. Show the world you passionately support Go Red For Women, the movement to improve women’s heart health and save lives.

Go Red For Women is publishing a 5^th anniversary edition of heart-healthy recipes to help women live longer stronger lives. Get your copy here.

I look forward to seeing you all in red tomorrow! Thank you for joining me!

Client Spotlight: Kelly & Matt Dockery

Kelly & Matt Dockery and Family

We asked November's client spotlight a few questions on how TNT has helped them, check out what they have to say below...

Kelly Dockery

Individual successes: My successes so far have been learning to be satisfied by more nutrient rich foods that give me bigger portions. Also, I have learned to be satisfied by fruits and vegetables instead of so many starches and high fat foods

Setbacks/challenges: Social settings like dinner parties, eating out, not planning well then eating too much at one sitting - statement about health educator- Jodi has been amazing at helping me. She is so positive, encouraging, but mostly so knowledgeable on every topic related to nutrition and exercise. She is a wealth of information.

Surprises with your experience: How slow my metabolism is! Yikes! I have a very low calorie plan but hopefully the exercise will boost this quickly. - suggestions or advice for others on the plan or considering following the plan- Don’t let the plan and all of the literature intimidate you. It is easy to learn and after a week you will have it memorized.

Anything else you think relevant or important that you’d like to share. Journaling can seem tedious at first, but it is really the key to success. You cannot manage what you can’t measure, and measuring and recording made me take control over what I ate, not letting it control me.


Matt Dockery

Individual successes: Fat loss and improved body composition

Setbacks/challenges: Eating out, party with friends, and the limited healthy choices available

About Jody Peckich (Health Educator): Jodi certainly is very knowledgeable and encouraging, which helps me very much in my day to day efforts

Anything else you think relevant or important that you’d like to share. It is very easy to eat healthy foods and try new things when you have the right attitude and support!
