Motivation

Last week, my doctor detected a heart murmur. Yesterday I had an echocardiagram. The results showed some thickening of the aortic valve, a bit of regurgitation. So it is extremely important that I lose weight, keep my blood pressure under control and exercise. My husband and I are already eating the Nutri System diet. We will have been on it one week on Saturday. And today I walked 10,000 steps and took my blood pressure meds. I'm thinking there is no way to reverse the thickening, but I can stop further damage. Also will try to eat more foods with good cholesterol. I read of a study where doctors are using a compound of good cholesterol to help thickened aortic valves.
