The Start of the New Me



In the past couple of weeks, I have been to several doctor appointments. From these visits and the discussions held with doctors, I have decided to take charge of my body and try to make some improvements. Last week, I started walking with a few people at work. We take part of our break times and lunch hours and do some walking. I cannot believe the progress I have made in such a short time. Today, I tackled a hill that I had been avoiding. It wasn't easy, but I made it!!! We all did the "Rocky" dance. I'm sure the people driving down that street that we were all crazy. The doctor told me I was Vitamin D deficient. So, I have been taking Vitamin D and B supplements as well as a prescription dosage of D on a weekly basis. I cannot believe how much more energy I have. I'm going to document the changes I see in me here. This is the beginning of the documentary made today. I hope to see lots of improvements as the next weeks go by.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Betty Carole's World is about to expand! Since I started dating Danny, I have become introduced to the joys of NC State football. He took me to 2 games last season, one in Greenville to watch the Pack get beat by the ECU Pirates and trekked through snow down to Orlando to the Champs Sports Bowl to watch the Pack beat up on West Virginia Mountaineers. I must admit, going to college football games are fun! Well, I have always enjoyed watching baseball on TV and have been to one pro-baseball game in Kansas City, MO where the Royals played the New York Yankees. Danny is a fan of the Cincinnati Reds and has always wanted to go see them play. Well, he is going to get his chance. We are going to Cincinnati in July to see the Reds play the San Francisco Giants (defending World Series Champions). Why this particular game, you may ask? Well, Danny likes the Reds and I like Tim Lincecum, the cute young pitcher for the Giants. We had debated about seeing the Braves play the Reds but opted for Reds vs. Giants. Hope the weather is nice for the trip -- and selfishly, I sure do hope Tim is pitching that day!!!! Here's to more excitement in Betty Carole's World.
