Last night, the local NBC affiliate sent their evening anchorwoman, Bridgett Williams, to our church to tape my profile for the local news. We kind of flip-flopped things around and had our opening ceremony half an hour into club night. They filmed opening ceremony, some handbook time, and a 15 minute interview session. She was very nice, and actually ran some things by me before she said them for the camera. She kept asking me, "Does that sound OK?" I just shrugged and said, "It's your show..." I did have to give her the correct pronunciation of my last name - we'll see Monday if she got it right. The finished piece airs in Augusta (GA) on NBC Augusta channel 26 this Monday during the 6 PM and 11 PM news.
Did my cardio workout this morning with my teammates and learned a lot. We have become fast friends - they are all extremely supportive of everyone else on our team.
I went to PHC (nutrition counselors) around noon today and was pleasantly surprised to learn that my blood pressure's top number (systolic) had dropped 9 points just in the one week I have changed my diet and started exercising. According to their scale, I had lost 2 more pounds in the last two days (although the scale at Omni showed more than that). They were pleased with my progress thus far.
I am looking at this upcoming weigh-in a little differently than the first. I knew the first one would be good, but I'm aware that I've only got three and a half more days to make a difference on the scale.
And with that, I'm off to Walmart to try and get the rest of my 10,000 steps in today.

Looking good Eddie! We were looking for a report on NBC this Thursday night, but know now to look for it this Monday. I know you must be proud of that top # on
your blood pressure coming down. I've read and heard that losing weight can make BP, BS, and your cholestrol (sp) come down. You just keep up the good job that you are doing. Hey! good idea about walking in Walmart. You won't get bored -) .
