Fitness, Weight Loss, and Risk Factor Management

"I'm too busy  taking care of everyone else to take care of myself."   "My work demands long hours - I don't have time to exercise and cook healthy meals."  "I know I need to lose weight, but I just can't get or stay motivated."   Sound familiar? Most of us know what we need to do - but getting started can be the hardest part. Sooner or later, if you continue down the road of no exercise, high stress, a poor diet, and a few extra pounds, you'll be "making time" for visits to your cardiologist, your surgeon, and your therapist, not to mention all the dollars you'll be shelling out for prescription medications.
