GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY TO A HEALTHY LIFE.




June of 2006 I was bedridden and my doctor gave me a month to live and told me to get my affairs in order and did not think he would see me again. He made an appointment for me for July and he almost passed out when he saw me walk into his office without assistance. I made up my mind that I was not ready to let go of life just yet so I started to take care of myself and eat properly and exercise and get well. I gave up smoking after a 30 year two pack a day habit and stopped abusing alcohol after twenty years . I made up my mind to get healthy so I could see my grand children grow up and prosper.

I have made great improvments in my health and in my life. I enjoy each day and live each day to the max.
I am very healthy now and just finished this years (October 2009) physical and lab tests, every test came back normal and the Doctor said I was a picture of health. I have had my physical this year (October 2010) everything is just fine and I am at my goal weight, the Doctor was very happy with my progress.
I have been smoke free since March 20, 2005, I have been sober since June 8, 2006. I love my new life.
I have made many friends here on the Spark site and I enjoy each and everyone I meet, I never in my wildest dreams thought I could get this far in such a short time. I am very thankful for everyones support in my efforts to improve my health and my life.
Thank you to all my friends now and in the future and a special thank you to SparkPeople.com for making it possible for people to live a healthy lifestyle.

Hi Sandy! Congratulations on your promotion! It's great that you have a job you enjoy.

We're still plugging along. Mom had a bout of flu back in March, with a hospital stay. Since then she's doing very well. Her caregivers make sure she gets lots of sunshine, walks, outings, and great meals. If anything, her thinking has improved while in their care.

Pete's healthy, just bored at work with little to do. Things are pretty slow there. I'm trying to handle our place and the farm, hard to do now that spring is here. I finally saw my doctor again, had a lot of tests, and got a diagnosis. I have Fibromyalgia, as I suspected all along. It's good to know there's a reason for all my crazy symptoms and pain. I'm continuing my physical therapy and trying to eat a healthy diet. Will see the doctor again in June to discuss my progress and options.

We're up to 11 cats here. Three indoors here, plus one who sleeps in the garage, one in my shop, two feral cats who sleep in my greenhouse, plus the four farm cats. They keep me laughing with all their antics.

It's good to hear from you. Chat again soon! emoticon

Hi my friend Sandy....

I just wanted to let you know that I left as Co Leader of the Washington team & will be leaving the team all the way on Sunday.
Not sure how we will keep in touch as I am not on any of your teams. It was to the point that I was the only one posting.
Keep up the good work..
