It's been over 2 years since my life was saved by Dr. Grieco at Glen Cove hospital and I've been given the green light to exercise again. However, I'm only allowed to walk and use very light weights.

In my life, exercising meant working out to total exhaustion whether it was pounding heavy weights or playing sports. Not anymore and it's been difficult for me to adapt because I used exercise as a way of clearing my mind.

Now I push myself to make it around an 18 hole golf course. And when I do, my body is sore for two days.

I am trying to take the long view which reminds me of a story. About 20 years ago while walking my children to school (One of my favorite things) one of them, not sure which, asked me about an unusually overweight  person who rode by us on their bicycle. The question..."How did they get that way?" I answered, one extra doughnut a day.

So...I'm trying to take one extra step a day and "eat one less doughnut."
