It's hard to believe it's been 7 months since we met in Dallas to learn about the new Fight Back ceremony and pledge.  So, how are you doing?  I have to tell you, I got off to a slow start.  My pledge was a personal health goal.  I didn't step too far out of my comfort zone and pledged to have 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.  Of course, I knew that I really needed to do much more. 

Toward the end of 2007, I was looking at all of the volunteer work I had been doing for Relay and my community when it hit me that I really needed to do something for me.  I made a new fight back pledge that was going to take more hard work on my part.  I set measurable goals of getting back to my wedding-day weight and getting in shape by exercising 3 days a week for 30 minutes.

I started working toward my goals on January 1.  I'm happy to let you know that my progress has been steady.  (I keep my younger son updated with my progress.  His response is always "Great job.  You still have a long way to go!"  LOL!) And, I've actually increased my exercise to 5 days a week for 1 hour!! 

Enough about me.  How about you?  How are you doing with your Fight Back pledge??
