Papa’s World – It is great to be alive!

Good day, friends!

In 2013, I had a major heart attack –

Called a “WIDOW MAKER”!

In fact, that day I should have died!

So, I can attest that every day since –

“IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!

My wife, Sherry, has guided me all these past years.

She is a Certified Health Coach.

I have changed my diet –

Quit fast food –

I do not drink sodas or milk.

I have one cup of coffee each morning-

I drink mostly water.

I really do not like alcohol or wine.

On occasion,

I will have a beer or two, but no more than that.

I will have a Complete shake around ten or eleven.

And a snack then.

I will eat dinner around 4 or 5.

And sometimes a light snack around 7.

At 8pm. I will get ready to go to bed.

After four hours,

I woke up after midnight –

Bathroom break,

And then I post my blog to Facebook-

and go back to bed.

I wake up around 5 or 5:30 am.

Shower – shave – brush teeth and get dressed.

I keep a calendar and write down appointments –

Also, Sherry’s as I have become in retirement –

“DRIVING MISS SHERRY”!

We both attend to the flowers, bushes – Tower Garden.

And we like to golf.

Maybe every two or three weeks.

Sometimes it is that good shot that brings me back –

Here, I ended up on the fringe of the green.

For me, that is good! LOL!

Since we live close to two beaches –

We often drive over the causeways and park.

We walk down to the surf line –

Or just sit on a bench and look out over the ocean.

It is a great day to be alive!

Papa’s World – Living life to the plus – one day at a time

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In 2005 – we started our journey – ” LIVING LIFE TO THE PLUS ” !

It was my wife Sherry who first started and and after 3 1/2 months – I finally got it through my thick Irish head that “HEY” something is happening!

Little things – but first where did this all take place ? Well – she said to me – there is a Health Expo at the D.C. Capital One center – and is sponsored by the network NBC for your health . Well – I was game – and into Washington D.C. we went !

Now – with over thousand of vendors – my aim was to go to the stage and concessions – eat and watch the entertainment – and meet up later. Which is exactly what I did. She in turn – found a Healthy eating booth – and bought the product – Fruits – Vegetables and berries in a capsule !

Since she hated vegetables ( since then she has developed a craving for them ) it was a easy fix for what she was not eating ! However – as I was eating my second cheeseburger ( yes – I was that bad ) she asked me if I wanted to try this out ? NOPE – I was fine – I went to have my checkup every six months – I was on MEDS and had no desire !

Long story short – I STARTED TO NOTICE LITTLE THINGS – like her hair was more shiny – her fingernails were growing faster – she was able to read at night in bed without her glasses – and she started eating vegetables ! That was something she hated !

So – I asked her – why are you doing this and what made you try it ? She replied – I needed to make a change and it was there – it clicked plus they had the RESEARCH proving what it did ! ( today there are 36 published papers) Then she said – ” YOU CAN DO THIS WITH ME – OR I WILL DO IT WITHOUT YOU – BUT I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE ” !

That was the day we both started living ” LIFE TO THE PLUS ” ! Almost 14 years now – and – because I was a terrible fast food junkie for 35 years – I paid the price – I had done the damage before I started my new eating lifestyle. In 2013 – I had the WIDOW MAKERS heart attack !

One blockage of 100 % – one at 90 % – one at 79 % and one at 60 % !

All those years – eating bad – BUT – had I not changed – I would not be here- the doctors told me just that – I was the most healthy heart attack person they had ever seen. I had FOUR BY PASSES – and within 52 hours – I was home standing in my living room being nicknamed ” THE RABBIT ” for how fast I recovered by the hospital staff !

Now one of the researches done by the University of Maryland – was on the Berries and how when combined with the fruits and vegetables – helped to keep the arteries open after a high fat meal !

I honestly believe that it was that one thing that kept me alive! I will always believe that – and that is why today we are LOVING LIFE TO THE PLUS !

JUICE PLUS was and is my savior – I believe that – it is my life and my belief. I will continue to take it – and almost 14 years later – I have my wife to thank for it . For without her telling me – ” I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE TOGETHER” and ” I WANT YOU WITH ME ” well – I am still here – this is just a part of my story of living out my dreams.

Thank you all for reading – “PAPA’S WORLD ” is alive – God Bless ! HGD
