Go Red for Women

Today is the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Day. Are you wearing your red? Heart disease is the biggest killer of women. I feel strongly about this. I am lucky that healthy hearts run in my family, but I have to take care of myself. I am wearing red. Much like my involvement with cancer fighting charities, I feel this one is important. Both promote healthy lifestyles. And truly, I believe that is one of the main factors in our fight.

Not only am I wearing red, wearing my red dress pin, and my American Heart Association "Start" pin, but Mom and I are also giving blood today. Remember every 8 weeks you can give blood. And everytime you give blood, you save two lives.

So give blood, exercise, and eat right. Yes, that is the focus today. Plus I lost 3.2 pounds this week at weigh in. WOO HOO. I am doing good. This weekend is going to be about relaxing, exercising, studying, and trying to be productive. Sounds fun, huh?

SRC Day 1: Rest - complete

Give Blood

I gave blood today. The Blood Mobile came to my work. I also won the door prize of a gift card. If you are able, be like me and give blood. It is so easy and saves lives. And you can schedule online now at The Blood Center of Central Texas. This is why I have not been commenting or posting or chatting or emailing as much as I would like. Hopefully, my desk will be clean by end of week.
And a picture to make you smile. This is Sweetie on Bug's bug scooter. More in depth posts to come. Everyone cross your fingers that I don't have to work late Wednesday night and can go to dinner as planned.
