Hi,
Welcome to my Blog.... I'm glad I have been given the opportunity to do be involved in this 100 Day Heart Challenge.   These first 3 weeks have been challenging.  It really is a life style change that needs to take place to accomplish this challenge.   I had to work on finding time to get to the gym with my trainer and also time and energy to do some cardio on my own.   Then the food changes.... Well if it was just me at home...It would be easy to accomplish the change in foods, ... But I have a spouse and 2 growing sons at home that also need fed.  I found an app on my phone that is called "Lose It".  It is awesome... I can actually scan in bar codes on foods and it is entered into my phone so I can just pick it when I eat it and it goes into my daily food log, with all it's nutrients.  It is awesome.  This program helps me count calories and also I enter in my exercise done and that is calculated also.  It even has restaurants and fast food places that I just pull up the place and pick the item and it is added to my log.  It has been a big help.  The couple of nutrition class so far have been very good and informative.  My weight loss to this point has not been great, but I am feeling stronger and not as out of breath when I am in the gym and walking.  I'm not even craving my diet coke.  I dropped down to 1 to 2 cans of diet coke a day...  but I take it a day at a time. I am on day 17 at this point. Check back to see my progress.
