So Last night I was watching Oprah. I love her show. Always have and always will. Her shows the last two days have been about taking care of yourself, which we all want to do buut it’s really hard sometimes.
I had actually already decided in November that Jen and i had to stop taking our health for granted. We have a nice home, great families, good friends and beautiful pets what good is all that if you don’t have your health. YOU NEED YOUR HEALTH !!!
So in November I had a physical, along with bloodwork, an eye exam, and I also went to see my heart specialist. Despite me delaying it all until almost the end of the year, I did get everything taken care care. Jen waited even longer and went in December right before Christmas. everything with the both of us is fine.
I had a few scares this past year, one heart flutters, and two severe head and neck pain that sent me to the ER. My heart flutters are caused by my heart valve that struggles to evenly pump my blood, and the other scare still is a mystery. What I do know is after having some time off from work, and taking muscle relaxers for two weeks I was back in working order.
All in all I feel Jen and I are doing what we need to do to be happy and healthy for a long time to come. One thing we started to do is exercising together. Three days a week we do an hour of cardio, and one day a week 30 mins of weights. We enjoy going to the local college. Our membership was cheap, and the hours are great, open 8am to midnight. I like the bikes, and racket ball, Jen likes to walk, and racket ball. And while we tend to take a more holistic approach to our health ( vitamins, supplements, and otehr natural remedies) We know the key to overall good health is to keep moving and so we just move.
We all need to put ourselves in our to do list. As for me it is a must.
Peace and good health to all who enter here.
