Taking it some steps further

Several teams are now registering for the Corporate Walking Challenge 2011.

Great work - good luck ladies, you can do it!!

Thank you so much Katja for that email, I am deeply encouraged as I thought that by walking more than 10,000 steps a day I could still have so much portion on my plate. By reading this email, I will make sure that I will stick to a healthy diet as well. For the past 2 weeks I felt so much alive, more fresher and alert at work and more energetic during my netball game every saturday. I am so thankful to be part of this program....

another success story

Dear Katja,

Just an update on my last check-up at the Specialist NCD at VCH, after taking medication (3 tablets every morning)  for high blood pressure for two weeks, the reading came down from 197/180 to 140/80. no diabetic no cholesterol. I now find myself regaining the strength I lost for the past few weeks and the weight is going away so fast. I find that walking for half an hour is just my level so far. i do not eat salt anymore and cutting it from my house too. (my family have difficulty accepting it but I give them my example to convince them….hahaha) so they accept easily. I use herbs for condiment: parsil, coriander, green onion, basil etc. and I love it. My round face is becoming  not round anymore!!!!! I’ll do my next check-up on the 1^st of november. I’ll keep you posted with my health condition.

Thank youa again for convincing me to seek medical help, I sincerely appreciate it and it changed my life.

God bless.
