    Exercise Goals and …..

    Posted on: Thursday, November 29th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    When I knew that I could improve my condition (Recover From Congestive Heart Failure), if I did certain things to achieve that goal, I was a bit intimidated at trying to fix what I had torn up. I had several years of tearing up what I thought I must repair in a very short time. The time frame […]

    Goals the Right Way

     Super Online Savings this Week at Walmart.com
    When I was younger I had several selling j0bs, insurance, cars, tires, and all of them had the courses in “How to Achieve”. I took all the courses, and did all the exercises, the results will not come if we do not work for them. I learned that long ago. Not only do we learn from our own […]

    Medical Bills-Stress-Christmas-Stress-Money-Stress

    Posted on: Sunday, November 25th, 2007 in: Mental Challenges and Heart Problems

    One of the major worries that I had, and sometimes have, is the financial aftermath of heart illness. Knowing that stress is a large factor in the recovery from any heart disease, how in the world do I not worry about the financial responsibility I have encountered with the onset of my disease? If I knew the […]

    The Start…

    Posted on: Sunday, November 25th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    My name is Brandon, I am currently 21 years old, about to turn 22, and I am going on a diet.
     My statistics are not the best in the world; I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, and weigh approximately 327 lbs. Because of the weight I have back pain, sciatic nerve pain, chest pain, chronic bronchitis, […]

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Save Big with Thanksgiving Day Online Specials 
    at Walmart.com 
    This is the day we give thanks for all the blessings we have in our lives. We spend time with those we care about and if we can’t be with the ones we love, we say thanks that they are in our lives. On this day we are blessed to have one another, to be […]

    Reducing Stress and Saving Precious Gasoline—Win! Win!

    Posted on: Monday, November 19th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    This year, as never before, the Internet will play a major role in the holiday shopping frenzy. Some say this is a crying shame, but, for me it will be one of the better events of this holiday season. Christmas is a time when gift giving is at a fever pitch, shopping becomes a chore— rather than a joy, and even […]

    The Holidays are Upon Us-HO! HO! HO! or STRESS! STRESS! STRESS!

    Posted on: Sunday, November 18th, 2007 in: Mental Challenges and Heart Problems

     This is family time, when we are all supposed to get in the same direction and pull together. If their are two workers in the family and they work for different companies,—there is pressure to be at two holiday parties (maybe scheduled for the same night). If you’re the boss, what is the proper bonus, can I […]

    Treadmill The New Begining

    Posted on: Friday, November 16th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    The tread mill was the starting point. This machine was used during my stress test to measure my ability to do work, and to measure the amount of stress my heart would take before I hit what the doctor called the max. The results would be the beginning point for recovery.
    The treadmill has been vital to my […]

    Rowing Machine

    Posted on: Thursday, November 15th, 2007 in: Exercise Equipment to Use

    Some time back I wrote about rowing, and the total exercise it is, and how much of a workout it can be—total. I am trying different machines when Ican, and here is another I have tried.

    I started with Schwinn on the floor of a friend having a garage sale (this machine was not for sale) and I […]

    Exercise is More Fun with….

    Posted on: Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    a good workout CD, DVD, or MP3 download. Here are a few that appeal to me:
     
    This group of oldies not only exercises my body, but my mind is working too!
    For those of us who like to see the exercise done as we try to copy yhe expert…here is one I like. See, exercise doesn’t have […]
