I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
and for some odd reason... I have most of those qualities...and things... too weird...
I got to read it again.. I really like that. Thank you.
I'm working on a juicy present so I'll be able to shock the grandkids some day :)
To all the gorgeous women in the Breakup & Divorce Community (and we are all gorgeous in our own way), may we all feel as if we have control over our destiny. Even if we have to wrestle that destiny from some SOB's hand and take it back. *grin*
