Introduction Text I've been a member of Spark for a few years. I stepped away from my fitness because I just couldn't seem to work it into my busy schedule and I didn't feel badly, really. I look OK and I was comfortable. Mother Nature had other plans for me though. Feb 7, 2010 I lost the feeling on the left side of my body from the top of my head down to my hip. My teeth were buzzing and the world was spinning; literally. My co-workers called my husband who took me to the hospital where I was told I had just had a mild heart attack. I was 35 years old; only 2 years older than my father was when he had his first heart attack. My heart beats irregularly but when I exercise or my body temperature is elevated, it regulates. The doctor reviewed my eating habits, and you know what he told me? Clean it up! No more snacking on Cheetos and these heavenly buttery Indian sweets at work; more fish and vegetables. Right now, he is telling me to work on conditioning my heart to be more efficient which means medium level aerobic exercise, but to take it slow and watch for problems. This is how my new journey has begun. With the new purpose of saving my own life so that I will be around to see my children grow. I have no choice. There is no option to take my eye off of the plan. Not only do I not want to die, but I want to live for a very long time - hopefully to see great grandchildren! This time, I am working little by little, taking new small steps every day to improve the quality of my life and my family's life. I hope that you enjoy following me on my journey of rebirth and we can celebrate together when I emerge at the end a new woman.

To live a life of balance and enjoy every minute of it.
