Getting Fit for Life

ontrol. I have always been a control freak but for some reason I was allowing food and TV control me, and I never even noticed!! A week in the hospital really gives you a lot of time to think, and put things into perspective...I couldn't go through this kind of pain again....I couldn't watch my family go through this again....and most importantly I couldn't put my body through this again! The infection was extremely painful, and with it came a whole slew of other symptoms each one worse than the last, from violently vomiting for hours to uncontrollable pain...It was so bad that the whites of my eyes turned blood red just from vomiting!! I had to make a change...my life had become one fast food joint after another, scheduling my life around when was the next time to eat, sitting around watching TV while eating a bag of potato chips! Is this really LIVING? I figured I am almost 40...I have done "the lazy 20's" and the "who gives a crap 30's"....time to move on into the "No more excuses lets kick some ass 40's"! Having watched too many people leave this world way too early, I was determined to meet my grand kids some day, and to show a positive example to my children. We only get one life to live, No do overs.
