My mom died of a heart attack in 2005. The crazy thing was is that she was much smaller than me, and had no Heath issues (Bp & cholesterol were always normal!!!)

I work 3rd shift at a full time desk job and during the day I work a part time desk job. If im not working or at the gym, I am sleeping or preparing my meals. Its very hard to get those steps in everyday. But, I have found ways to get very close to 10,000 and on my off days I do over 10,000. When I take my breaks or my…
