Instead of claiming to be part of the Lonely Hearts Club like I do every Valentine’s Day, this year I’m going to declare myself part of the Healthy Hearts Club instead. In fact, today the MP4 team and I are joining a network of heart healthy bloggers in the Blog Your Heart Out campaign. Today we join the American Heart Association and other writers around the globe to SPEAK UP for heart disease.
Because we love you, we’d like to challenge you to:
- Take a closer look at your diet and exercise plan. Is it heart-healthy? If you’re not sure, we can help you tweak it and make suggestions for improvement, that’s what we do
- Join the American Heart Association Go Red For Women campaign and become part of the fight against heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women in America
- Get a heart check up, and speak up to your doctor about having a lipo-protein blood screening
Ok, the meeting of the Healthy Hearts Club is adjourned. Now let’s show some love for….

Great interview!
Oh wow, where has this woman been all of my life? {mental note: seek out Rachel W, workout with her, then wisecrack to each other while prepping a good post workout meal!} You all feel about the Magic Bullet the way I do about the Vita-mix. I WILL have one by mid-year, I said it here. You can blend a 2×4 in that thing. Not that you would (unless you REALLY needed some serious fiber), but that you could.
