Are you making promises to yourself...but only find your letting yourself down?

Narelle D’Alberto

A couple of months ago I went to my Doctor for a general check-up.

At 34 years of age I didn’t really think there would be anything to worry about, until my Doctor asked ‘have you ever had high blood pressure?’ and mentioned my elevated cholesterol levels.

With no family history of heart disease, probably 20 – 30kg over the healthy weight range for my height, and with high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol, I need to do something about it.

My doctor gave me a pamphlet to read on cholesterol and it was full of pictures of people in the 70s and I thought, what am I supposed to get out of that? I felt adrift, without support or programs that I could relate to, to help me work on these issues and improve my health.

That was until recently, when one night while trawling Facebook, I noticed my friend Barb was drumming up support for the ‘Healthy Heart Challenge’ and I thought ‘well why the heck not’!

I’m new to all of this heart disease talk so I joined to learn more about heart disease and how it is affecting women in particular. Also because I needed something new to motivate me and get me back on track with my health.

I’m really looking forward to the challenge and seeing what I can achieve. With the support of the Healthy Heart Challenge, I'm confident that I won't fall off this time!
