So I was reading Glen's post about his 47 year old friend in the hospital with heart issues and it reminded me why I've started these little challenges to "get my life". One of my best friends since kindergarten died suddenly in August at 43 years old due to health/heart issues. My heart still aches. Her death has brought many of my highschool classmates back together. I went home to visit in January and four of us went to the store. During the car ride they had all been talking about having high blood pressure, regulating their meds, having diabetes, etc. I, the oldest and most heavy weighted of the 3 was the only one without a story! When I tell you that situation was gasoline on my fiery ass! I've nevvveerr had high blood pressure, diabetes, heart issues, high cholesterol all the things that are genetically in my family. My mother died at 64 of a heart attack. The only story I wanna tell someday is how good I feel and about the 80 something lbs. weight loss doing the right things. My birthday is in January and my goal is to step on the scale and see that beginning number is a 1 something and not a 2 something. It's gonna happen folks!
