#WhyNot
Tamra S. Davis, Ph.D.
I go by many titles:
Mom, Grandma, Daughter, Sister, College Professor, Friend, and Companion.
The people in my life make me who I am.

Last year, I went off all prescription medications (I only take two for hyperlipedmia). I wanted to see my cholesterol and triglyceride numbers. Boy were they scary. Although I could lose some weight, I also have a very strong family history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and relatives with Type II diabetes. My only issue is the lipid control. So, what did I do? I asked Why Not? Why have I not lost weight? Why am I not stretching every day? Why am I not hitting my step goal every day? I don't have a good answer. So I asked myself, Why Not Make the Changes I Need to Make. After all, I have eight beautiful grandchildren, so far, and I want to be there to see their children. It was time to make a change. So I accepted the 365 Mile Challenge and participated in their mini challenge for the first three days of 2019, to walk/hike at least a mile every day. Follow along with me as I take this journey. Part of my goal is to meet a minimum of 7,000 steps daily with part of those steps being tracked for the challenge. This will force me outside, with my camera, to explore the trails (both urban and nature), capture the light, and enjoy the year I turn 55. Happy New Year! I wish everyone a safe, healthy, and relaxing 2019.
