So today I have been making progress!! I boiled eggs last night to eat for breakfast. They are very feeling and I dont feel like I am mission out on anything. I have also been bringing my lunch to work with me. It saves gas, money and calories!! Also, last night I took my son for a walk so I felt pretty productive!! I think I can do this!!

Finally, I think I have this!! I am ready for my first post. So here goes, the moment of truth. The reason I have let myself go per say since my stroke is because of this: I was extremely healthy and I worked out daily. I took great care of my body and after my stroke, it was just a huge slap in my face. It was telling me, well, no matter how healthy you are, you are never safe from stroke!! So I guess in many ways, I felt like, "what's the point?" I gave up being healthy for a few years because I felt like it was pointless.
I have since came to my senses and realized that although this is all true, it is VERY probable, that the main reason why I did survive my stroke was because I was in such great shape. So, I got to thinking, that although we will all have "our time" why not do whatever I can to make sure when lightning strikes, im ready to fight back?
So that is my new mission. Im ready to be heart healthy, not for vain reasons, but for the right reasons!
I remember how great it felt to eat right and exercise. I know it seems so cliche, but it truly does make you feel so wonderful.
So although this is only a way to eat better and improve heart health, I think I may turn it up a notch and make into a way to start living better. I want to know that I am doing whatever I can to fight heart disease.
