Yesterday was the third anniversary of my heart attack that led to my triple bypass and 17 day hospital stay. On the first anniversary of the heart attack, I made a goal to make myself accountable in this blog for my overall health and wellbeing. I put together a report card to track my progress yearly on moving to a healthier lifestyle. I believe it accounts for the major factors that determine how heart healthy I am.
This year you will see quite an improvement in these scores. It is mainly attributable to my decision to have bariatric lapband surgery and the changes I have made along the way before and after surgery.
