Yay Me!
The last time I walked to the end of my drive way, I had a minor heart attack. I got up this morning determined to get what exercise I can and go get my paper. I was soooo nervous but my 15 year old is home for MLK day. I am not alone. I had my house phone in one pocket, my cell phone as a back up in the other and 2 bottles of nitro in my hand. I made it half way back when I got sort of breath. I realized I was having a panic attack. I slowed my breathing and focused on my gate. I made it - yay me! Turns out my daughter had seen me and watched my entire trip with her cell phone in her hand.
I still have zero energy, but what can I expect with what I have been through in such a short time frame. I made myself an egg white omelet for breakfast so I am headed in the right direction. Can’t wait to start cardiac rehab. and get active again. My recliner and I have spent entirely too much time together lately but I know that will end soon. If I push myself too hard, too soon I will go backwards. I do NOT want to end up back in cardiac ICU. If you think dieting sucks, try the no salt, no fat food in the cardiac unit of your local hospital. It will make what you are doing on your own seem gourmet.
Wishing us all well in our journey for health and fitness -

Congratulations on making it to get the paper and back. I wouldn’t have done it any different after what you have been through. Now that you did it once you know it will be easier the next time. Take this journey one day/step at a time. Enjoy.

I had been fighting weight loss issues all my life and had tried just about everything out there. Then I found a plan that really worked for me. I don’t know if it is what you’re looking for but it is a fat burning and weight loss dream come true for me. I published a blog to tell my story and suggest it to everyone. I know how tough it is to try to drop the pounds and I just wanted to help as many people as I can. You can view my story and this plan at:

Good Luck to all and don’t give up!
Wow great way to go, you are doing the right thing just take it slow, and you will build up. You should also just try walking in place as well, that way you don’t have the anxeity of going too far.
Becareful take your time, but what ever you do, do not give up!
Why is this Heidi person posting the same exact response to many blogs???
She’s just trying to sell something!!!
I’m glad you were prepared and made the walk. I know exactly how you feel. Cardiac rehab is a great thing!! I was in it for about 6 weeks. They will monitor you and help you gain confidence back. They did for me…we just joined the YMCA..I go very slow, but anything is better then nothing!! You take care!!!
