Introduction Text After dying April 22, 2005 from cardiac arrest and being shocked twice by co-workers to bring me back....I feel I have to do everything I can to keep the new stents in my heart open and my body healthy. I got a second chance for some reason....I have to be healthy long enough to find out why. For the last couple of years since I fell on the ice, it has been a challenge to exercise. My hip and leg hurt. I kept thinking it would get better. Finally, the end of December 2009, I went to my knee surgeon (double knee replacement in 2002) for a check up. He did x-rays of my hip and it was replaced Jan. 4, 2011. So, less pain when exercising should help my results! Another chance to be healthier!!! Had the second hip replaced November 1, 2017, so ready to rock and roll!

I plan to eat healthier and exercise more to have a healthier life. I also want anyone over 50 and who has a few pounds to lose to join my team at http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/gro ups_individual .asp ?gid =11533

I am reading Spark People articles and being encouraged and challenged by my Spark Teams. Charting my progress seems to help me the most. I have also joined T.O.P.S.

I am a wife, mother of six grown children and grandmother of 19, and great-grandmother of 2. I teach elementary art in two schools and work full-time as a dispatcher/jailer and am an Advanced EMT for our local ambulance service.

Since my heart attack, I have a new perspective on life. I look at what is really important and don't sweat the small stuff. Life is too short not to enjoy the journey while we are here.
