Heart Health Screening Comparison

A long time ago, Debbie (my twin sister) and I had a complete heart health screening. We found it to be helpful, especially since they discovered something in Debbie's test. 

 Now that we are older, we wanted to get another screening. It did not surprise me (since the aging baby boomers population) that hospitals are now offering these screenings - but thankfully at affordable prices!

As most people who knows me, I like to research and find the best opportunities or offers. No difference in my search for a heart health screening in my area. Being that, if you are interested in scheduling a heart health screening and to save you time, the following are the results in my findings (as of this Post date). 
*only offered at Henry Ford Wyandotte or **Henry Ford West Bloomfield, not available to do at both locations

The sooner you know your risk of heart disease, the better chance you have to keep your heart healthy and strong. If you are over 30 and have a family history of heart problems, or have a lifestyle that promotes heart disease, having a heart health screening may help get you on the path to heart health.

Links for More Information:
Beaumont
St Mary's Mercy
Providence (Ascension)
Henry Ford

I hope you found this information useful and will consider being proactive with your own heart health. Keep in mind, these are my findings. At some locations, you can elect to not do the blood work and the price will be lower. Debbie and I are scheduled to go to Henry Ford. They had a February special of $79.00 and we like the idea of getting immediate results.

Oh, by the way, exercising is good for your heart and you know that I cannot complete this post without a shout out to Fitness Motivators!!!!

The popular Fitness Motivators is not a traditional gym. While many fitness groups come and go, Fitness Motivators has been a fixture in the Detroit area since 1989!

2019 is Fitness Motivators' 30 Year Anniversary!!!!
The FM Team prides themselves in offering a program that caters to ALL FITNESS LEVELS and ALL AGES. Most FM classes are team-taught at various levels at the same time, so Beginners will NOT BE Intimidated and advanced students will be challenged! I hope you will join us in a class soon!

FREE!!!
I am thinking of doing random Z.E.N. Yoga in the Park classes this summer. This will be free to participate and those who want, can give a donation that will go to a local charity. If you are interested, please let me know! I am thinking Friday evenings and/or Saturday mornings.

In Peace and Health,

Time to Reinvent Myself: Honor The Body

Image
Around 1979 (as a young teenager) my journey in teaching group exercise began and continues today. From teaching high-impact, ZEN mat fusion classes, to customized programs, my passion was to always help others reach their fitness goals. Along with my twin-sister, daughter, and awesome team’s hard work, over 10,000 clients joined us on this long  Fitness Motivators ’ journey. We are humbly honored that clients trusted  us  to motivate and teach them fitness. Throughout the years, we consistently lectured women to love their bodies, their natural curves and not to push themselves to the extreme because society expects us all to look a certain way. Today, this needs to be reiterate more than ever!  We were never told what happens to a woman’s body when you constantly jump, run, or kickbox. I thought I was invincible. We all think we are invincible when we are young.   It is imperative to honor your body now . As we grow older, we need to embrace change.  Our body changes that we c

My Brother, Anthony William Lim

Image
Tony loved to dance and enjoy his life! On December 9, 2016, we lost our dear brother Tony, to cancer. A brilliant mind. A true loss to our family. Our brother that we relied on for computer troubleshooting or IT questions. But wait, maybe not a loss to the entire family. Our brother’s loss was a huge gain to his wife, Danli. Let me explain.  Our brother’s wife gained over 1.2 million dollars from Tony’s death. Not bad for a young woman who worked in the rice paddy fields in China. A woman who was so desperate to leave her country that she married a man that she did not even know. Yes, an arranged marriage by our own father. Our father, who her family would eventually steal over $300,000 from a crooked business deal (but that is for another story). From the beginning, there were red flags. We tried to warn Tony. But he wanted so badly to be accepted by our father. A father who never deserved acceptance or acknowledgement. A father who did not attend his own son’s funeral. Cold?

Create Your Own Path

Image
I arrived at my work at 5:30 in the morning and packed the few things that I moved here from the Ann Arbor site. It is weird how I sensed from the beginning that being at the Chesterfield location would only be temporarily. This morning was my job loss notification meeting and instead of feeling sad, I felt as though my employer is giving me an opportunity to finally create my own path. Pfizer was extremely generous to me throughout the 11 years. Working in a big company, you either get lost or work hard to get noticed. I am lucky that hard work paid off. I traveled around the world, gained advanced skills and had many wonderful opportunities. A week ago I told my previous manager about my job status and he replied, “I am really sorry things didn't work out with Pfizer - they don't appreciate what they are losing. I am sure things will work out as cream always rises to the top.” How sweet! ( I never knew how much he appreciated me until his farewell speech. He was always so tou
