Determined to live healthy once and for all!

Yesterday was supposed to be a really good day for me. I had my chance to work out at the Curves type facility close to home.  I was geeked…got all dressed, grabbed my water and off I went.  Michelle (the owner) explained each machine and the concept of weight toning and building there.  I explained to her my heart disease and issues.  She told me we could do the workout for that day but I would need a Doctors approval in order to join.

I’m all good with that….So here we go……….not even 3-4 minutes in I’m feeling winded.  I can feel my chest pain (just like when I had my heart attack)   but I kept going, wasn’t going to give up so easily without a fight.  I did manage to make it around for 1 lap…how pitiful is that.  I fought back the tears until I got in my car.  What a sad sad day it was for me. 

When I got home I immediately called my cardiologist and scheduled an appointment.  I refuse to give up, I will do whatever I have to do in order to get healthy.  If surgery is called for then fine, I’ve been there and done that a couple times.  At least I can still walk the treadmill at home, so for now I will faithfuly walk everyday.  I CAN WIN THIS BATTLE!!!

Today was weigh-in day for me, I did lose 1 pound.  I’m pleased…slow…and steady right?  LOL!!! Hope everyone has a day filled with happiness and blessings!

Letter H — Hope for the best and never forget that anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.

(Wow that letter is so fitting for my situation today)
