On Saturday, we celebrated all of our Lifestyle Change Award Finalists at the McLean County Heart Walk. We have announced our Social Media Contest winner and our Lifestyle Change Award Winner. Please join us in congratulating Jason Dodd!
Jason increased his physical activity…
by becoming an avid runner in addition to weight training. He now plays all kinds of sports with his kids including basketball, golf, Frisbee, football and more.
Jason has healthier eating habits…
including his low calorie, reduced fat diet which he has followed now for one year. He keeps a food journal through the My Fitness Pal Mobile App.
Jason has lost…
just short of 50 pounds total!
Jason manages heart related risk factors…
including the high cholesterol he has struggled with for many years. He manages his high cholesterol with medication but is now going back every three months because his healthy lifestyle has pushed his cholesterol in the healthiest direction it has been in years. In addition to controlling his cholesterol, Jason’s healthier lifestyle has kept him smoke free for over two years.
Jason was nominated by…
his wife, Kimberly Dodd. Kimberly says that Jason has not only made lifestyle changes for himself, but for the whole family, “Jason is an amazing role model for our four children and has done a great job getting them involved in our healthy lifestyle.” Kimberly is health conscious as well, her and Jason have lost a total of 160 pounds between them both!
We were honored to present Jason the award for his accomplishments! We hope his story will inspire others to make significant lifestyle changes too!
