A heart attack, then a new journey

Our lives came to a complete stand still with Hein's heart attack in September 2018. I can clearly remember the images of his arteries and that shocked me, also the thought of living without him. The doctor spoke to me after Hein's admission and informed me that we had to change our lifestyle and eating habits.

I have met Ilze before at our community meetings and was interested in the healthy eats she put out. I contacted Ilze the next day, she walked me through the plan and we started that same day. Both of us dived into this and adapted our habits. We both lost weight and had lots more energy. This winter was a bit difficult and we deviated in some areas. Luckily we keep one another accountable and we are focused again.

Staying focused and knowing that what I put in is what is going to be with me when I am older, keeps me going.
