I took an nasty fall Monday night while I was out getting my nightly work out in. I hit the pavement so hard I thought I was seeing stars. Thank God there are still good people in the world. This couple seen when I fell and rushed over to check on me along with my husband. I was taking to the emergency room to be checked out because I hit my head on the concrete and I could put any pressure on my right leg.

I have been out of commission since Monday no work or exercising. I can’t even lift my weights because I hurt my left shoulder. To top it off I’m on crutches and wearing a brace. My appointment with the orthopedic isn’t until next week.

I started to feel down today but I began meditating and getting a hold of my thoughts because keeping a calm and clear mind is part of the journey. I started thinking of all the strives I have made and I just began to smile. I later went to my cardiology appointment and my cardiologist told me my numbers had gone down. WOW was all I could say. Everything is working for my good. That’s why it’s a faith journey for me one day at a time.

I was never one to exercise or watched what I ate. I stayed stressed all the time and did absolutely nothing about it, and then the unthinkable happened I was diagnosed with heart disease. My doctor told me if I wanted to live a long life I must take action immediately. I didn’t have a clue of where to began. I asked the question what is Fitness and Wellness? As I began this journey I realized it was about the whole begin, mind, body and school. Taking care of all three is extremely important to me. It’s a struggle at times but I am pressing towards the prize which is the prize of a healthy life.

I am committed to keeping myself intact. I work out 5-6 days a week, I get a monthly massage, I have taken swim lessons and most importantly I try to keep moving and eat healthy. Sometime I do have that piece of cake but it’s not part of my regular eating.

Thanks for joining me!
