I wore red this past week and through my husbands Wellness program at work we have both lost over 30 pounds since 2010 (and managing to keep the majority of it off!).

They did all the panels, and scheduled a stress test for the next day. They said it was an anxiety attack, not a heart attack. Fast forward last summer on vacation. After paddling in a kayak in a storm to get back to shore. Same thing happened. This time, I didn't go to the hospital and felt horrible for 6 hours. Please let me know where the event is, I think I may want to go.Sheree Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035073096353215424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-30326627043410963872013-02-01T20:22:28.261-06:002013-02-01T20:22:28.261-06:00I need to exercise, too.

So many women still believe heart disease is a man's illness but as we both know, that is far from the case. Sadly, 1 in 3 women will die from some form of heart disease. My heart disease limits the amount of strenuous activity I can do but I make sure to walk, walk, walk! Staying active is huge, no matter your age. Thank you again for supporting Go Red for Women and the American Heart Association. --Karen Guccione-Englert, 8 year survivor Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282608638459033023noreply@blogger.com
