It has been a long time, but I'm happy to be back.

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted a blog entry. I haven't even been checking in here probably since the first of the year. I'm not sure what happened because Sparkpeople is so helpful to me. I still have been using the nutrition tracker on and off but that's about it. Life happens!

My most recent life event is that 8 weeks ago on this Friday coming up I had unexpected open heart surgery. This was a shock to everyone. I am still 30 over my goal weight but was continuing to eat healthy and exercise faithfully including teaching my Spinning classes. I did not have a heart attack so that was a blessing that my heart funtion is still normal. God truly was watching over me and I am so grateful for that.

So, now more than ever I am determined to get the 30 lb. off. I am on a cardiac diet which is lowfat and low sodium. I have an action plan and look forward to sharing my success. It's so good to be back:)
