8.I left the hospital the day after Christmas.With a headache,I could hear my mother whispering to her friends on the telephone,"What if she's disabled and not able to take care of the boys?"
Disabled?That was a possibility I'd never considered.Overweight and tired at forty-six,I was the single mother of teenaged twin sons.They took most of my time and energy.My career took the rest.
Additional tests the next day proved the symptoms were from too much stress.Though I only had problems with high blood pressure and blood sugar,the message was clear:change my life now.
Exercise to me was as fun as bathing the cat.When I had physical education in high school,I thought of push-ups and running laps(俯臥撐和跑圈) as punishment.I could never imagine exercising could be fun or a routine part of life.
Over my summer break,I met a friend who worked out regularly.Danica cooked healthy meals from basic fresh foods.She helped me learn to eat smaller portions(份) and eat fewer desserts.Danica and I worked out with fitness programs four times a week.I began losing about two pounds a week.I dusted my two-wheeler off and unsteadily rode it down the block.Then I started riding the bike to work about a mile and a half away.The tall fourteen-year-olds laughed at their wobbly(搖搖晃晃的) bike-riding mom.
Depressed one day,I went over to Danica's,not wanting to work out.
She asked,"What's wrong?"
"Everything,"I told her."Today,I went to Virginia's to give her a birthday present,and she was labeling everything in her house so the kids know who gets what after she dies.She's having surgery in a week.What an attitude!Then I found out I am overdrawn(透支) in both of my checking accounts."
"Well,"she said with a cheerful smile,"We're going to exercise and you'll feel better!"
Exercise had not just become a habit,and it was a way to lift my mood,combat stress,stay flexible and slow down aging.
