To help bring awareness that heart disease is the #1 killer of women. To encourage and strenghten anyone living with heart disease. To help those struggling with sticking with a low sodium diet due to their diagnosis with congestive heart failure. This is my own personal day by day account of my journey with congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
About Me
- Kimberly Binkley
- At age 39, I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy. I was given days to live with a heart function of 5% at that time. I was also told I needed a heart transplant to survive. I am now a 13 year survivor and have not had a heart transplant. I am married to my best friend, Steve and have one daughter, age 19. I'm sharing my journey to help others and because it "Matters to my Heart."

Exercise!
Exercise is one of the best ways to help protect your heart from heart disease. Have you exercised today or are you planning to? How often do you exercise each week? Would you do it if you could look into the future and see the shape your heart will be in 10, 20, or 30 years? This is something you CAN do today. We all have our excuses and our reasons but truthfully, we can all squeeze in 30 minutes a day for exercise. I've exercised today, have you?!

Kim, I usually do four days a week. I've started doing about 30 minutes of light weights and then 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical.
I think the weights are going to make the cardio more effective.
I hope! :)
