wow, how scary nina im so sorry for Chris! were getting health insurance right now and i have info about cobra for you too that i meant to share with you

our wonderful president has lowered the cobra premiums… but they are still expensive (whereas before they were just ridiculously expensive… but basically a policy for a family was like 800-1000 a month… i mean honestly… ??? wtf?? but now they are like 280 which is still more expensive than what we can get privately, but still… just shows how we picked the right prez lol)

we are applying for health insurance right now and hopefully well have it soon. Its just ridiculous how much they expect you to pay… sigh… anyways, i hope chris gets insurance soon and hopefully they dont charge him too much for the emergency room visit

you guys should try hot yoga! the gym’s yoga classes are horrible :-/

I think in our society we are so intent on fixing the diet of obese people that we forget that thin people often eat unhealthy too. A friend’s brother, who was fit and lean, dropped dead from a heart attack at age 23. He ate junk.

I’m glad your brother is all right!

first things first — joey lawrence in blossom was my first crush, ever.. such a freakin’ dream boat!

I’m glad to hear you’re brother is okay, girl! and thank you so much for the reminder that health is just as much mental as it is physical — I am a firm believer that we can’t have truly healthy body without a healthy mind!

send my best wishes to your bro! xo

Great post! I remember having heart palpitations when I was working the Corporate world due to stress. And you are right, age does not matter. My step daughter’s accountant’s husband just dropped dead of a heart attack at 29!!!!! Holy crap!

Yes, stress is a big concern & I have yet to figure out how to get this under control! Health insurance being one stressor since my husband is self employed & they do NOT make it affordable for individuals to get insurance… sure catastrophic but that does not get a person to regular check ups. It stinks!

Going to check out that Lucy give away. I need workout clothes! THX!

Scary stuff! My dad was in the hospital last week for some heart blockage. It was a planned procedure but still was freaky. I do not like hospitals and I especially do not like my friends or family being in them.

2 years ago I had a high stress job I loved, but was unhealthy mentally and physically. Now, I have a low/mid stress job I tolerate/like, and have the time to be balanced and healthy physically and mentally. While I miss my old job, I also respect that I’ve probably added years to my life with the changes I made.
