It seems September and now October have turned out to be even busier than I expected – both at work and at home. I realized I hadn’t said much of anything for almost a month so I wanted to get something out. In early Sept. I had something happen that caused me to change course. A visit to Emory for a Heart Scan revealed that I had some risks, both from genetics and from my own doing.
That was enough to get me going – I have started paying close attention to what I eat and have a few goals to get myself on a course that will significantly lower my risks. It has been just over a month and all is well so far. I haven’t felt like it has been a tough sacrifice to give up certain things and since I am still quite active I have quickly dropped some weight.
It feels good to get back into college shape and ideally I will even get into the best shape of my life in the coming months. I am not sure if other major hospitals offer a deal on a similar test, but for anyone with a family history of heart issues I strongly recommend getting yourself screened.
