32 Months A Vegan! Mark your calendar, Detroit! #TVinterview #readyformycloseup #eatlikeahorse #foodismedicine

Dr. Joel Kahn and me!

     Mark your calendar and set your DVR for Thursday, September 8th at 8 pm on PBS channel 56 in the greater Detroit area. There will be a program presented by Dr. Kahn regarding all the things you need to do to prevent and reverse heart disease. I have a small part in it as well.  This is the guy who got me started 3 years ago.

I read the articles he published and followed him on Facebook for about 3 months. My attitude went from "There is NO WAY I will ever do that!!!" to "Maybe I should do this..." to "I HAVE TO DO THIS!" 

     Now, instead of yo yo dieting, taking pills to lower my blood pressure and a Statin to control my cholesterol and triglycerides, I just eat right. No more pills for any of that! I went from an all time high of 284 lbs to 178 lbs in less than 2 years WITHOUT exercising. After losing the weight, I started walking, then running and swimming because I'm not thinking about how bad I look in a bathing suit anymore.  Tomorrow I will be running in my very first 5K race. It comes with a shirt!

Finishing is all I hope for, but since I'm 61 already, that's a HUGE win for me!

For those of you who are out of state, the show will be broadcast nationally in December.

I'll keep you posted.
