Shalon in Fort WayneMy Heart. My Life.

Last year, Shalon started a campaign to get healthy – beginning by walking every day and using her Xbox Kinect to work out at home.

She became an educated consumer, using phone applications to make healthy decisions about meals and snacks.

By increasing her water intake and physical activity, Shalon decreased her risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

She’s also making a difference in the health of her children by setting a good example and making smart choices on their behalf.

She’s a true inspiration to working moms, proving that despite hectic schedules, you can make time for a healthy lifestyle. Last year, Shalon won a Lifestyle Change Award at the Northeast Indiana Heart Walk.
