You've gotta have a reason

About a month ago, I had a bit of a scare. I was sitting at home, watching TV (bad habit, I know), minding my own business, when my heart started racing like crazy and I had trouble catching my breath. Of course Barry would probably say it's because he was sitting next to me LOL. My family has a horrible history of heart disease so I figured it was time to get this checked out. And something didn't feel quite right on my right breast. So off I went for an echocardiogram, a holter monitor and a mammogram. Those things are lovely. There should be one for men too. Except after a certain size, they really don't hurt. Women that is... but I digress. So the echo came back clear YAY and I'm still waiting for the monitor results. But I got a call 2 days after my test that they wanted me to go for a second mammogram and ultrasound because they found a nodule in my left breast (go figure) that wasn't there 5 years ago when I last had a mammogram. Ladies, if you're over 40, make sure you go every year or 2. It's not something to mess with. Of course I freaked out a little but I'm told this is pretty much standard and nodules come and go. So my appointment is this Thursday. And then we can move on. Did I mention I'm asthmatic? But my point is ... take care of your health. Yeah, being able to get into "normal" sized (non-plus size) clothes is great, but ultimately, we get one body and we all (yes, men, that includes you) have to take care of ourselves. So whether you're a seasoned veteran of the workout world or someone who has never formally exercised, please take care of your health. Until tomorrow....
