It begins....

I'm a mom. 

I'm a wife-to-be.

I'm a doctor.

I try to be a positive thinker.  But, let's face it......I'm in the worst shape of my life.   I'm not very nice to my body.  I get winded just going up a couple flights of stairs.   And, I'm too young to be this way.  And, so are you.  We all have too much to do in life to be overweight, out of shape and unhealthy.  It's a bad combination.  I want to be a good role model for my daughter.  I want to be a good role model for my patients.  I feel like someone should give me a firm slap in the face every time I tell my patients to exercise for at least 30 minutes 5 times per week.  If I can't seem to figure out how to get it done, then how can I expect my patients to do the same?

So here it is.  I've joined the blogging world.  In part to make me a bit more accountable to making some lifestyle changes.   In part to help others along their way to being a healthier person.   It will hopefully help make me a better doctor, a better mom, a better partner and a little kinder to my body.
