Heart Attack
Guess I owe an apology to members been busy with my stuff and not checking in or posting much.
12/12/2011 at work thought had chest cold. Chest real tight. Then cold sweat arms tingle call 911. trip to St Joes in Syracuse first time ever in "Meat Wagon" with sirens and speed.
5 stents later, 96mm worth (about 4" for the metric challenged) good ass chewing by dr because I told him I was going right back to work...
Started Cardiac threapy 1/13/12 all hooked up. Found my limits and set goals. started at gym 1/31/11. Exercise 6 days a week, chanded diet, limit portions, shed 70+ pounds by 5/25/12.
I am running now can run 3.5-4 miles at 10.5 minute miles. Not bad for an old fat man. I am at 175# ride bike 15-25 miles a couple 3 times a week, walk 6-8 miles a week and run 4-8 miles a week.
Dr not even give stress test, show him Heart Rates from runs, 162 beats and right back do to 80 in a few minutes. 42 at rest. Have to work really hard now to get above 150.
Haven't weighed tis since I was 23.
I try and do better checking in.

Thanks guys. Ive come off 5 meds completely and the last 2 were reduced to 10 mg each from 40 & 20. The stent med is new but expected. Keeping the weight off will be the hard part between gym and bike muscles are gaining not any fat left to burn at 7.1% fat. So well see how that battle will go

Art I carried the weight very well, I thought. The before and after pictures say different. Lot of friends that had not seen me in that time can not believe the difference. Lean now.
Amazing how much better the HD pulls hills 75# lighter.
Your e-mail is very much appreciated and always welcome. I have tried several times to send you stuff but something in one of our providers prevents my mail goin thru.
I will try to get up your way some sunny afternoon B4 snow.

Skip losing the weight was easy with the right motivation. Keeping the weight off is the challenge now.
Lots of exercise so have to eat more to burn more exercising and have to burn more because I eat more this is a dog chasing its tail thing.
Trying to come up with the right balance of calories and exercise.
Toughest part is the weights at the gym losing fat and replacing with lean causes a weight gain so am trying to keep everything leaned down to stay at 170-175. 7.3% body fat now.
Currently I'm back up to 177 bicycle not helping size at all so will cut back some carbs and burn a little meat.
