[1] “When my back began
hurting and my blood
pressure soared, I knew

...drink water before I eat. It fills me up so I don't
overindulge. I drink three 20 ounce bottles a
day. My kids [Janea, 6, and Malachia, 7] remind
me by saying, "Mommy, do you have your wa-

[10] ter?"

Slim-Fast shake in the freezer for 20 minutes
each morning so it's like having an icy dessert
for breakfast. For a snack, I mix apple slices with
[15] nonfat vanilla yogurt and mixed nuts.
...challenge myself. I walk outside for an hour
three times a week while listening to music. I
speed up when an upbeat song like Jill Scott's
"Golden" comes on. Or I pick a house up ahead
[20] and tell myself, "walk fast until you get there."
