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...

Hi, I worked retail over 30 yrs untill I stopped in 2003. Retail is hard and you certainly do not get rich.I worked ll kinds of retail, but the last 6 yrs was in grocery retail. You can imagine how hard it was stocking and pulling my shipments out to the floor. I would lose my sight, legs became numb, tremors and balance issues. I tried to hide it all, usually did pretty good. I would hide away til I got over the bad parts. Usually the physical stress would bring it on and it became harder to hide after so long. Then I had to endure horrible comments from younger ones saying I was using my illness as an excuse. All the while workig 60 hours a week and never missed a days work or took a vacation more than one day at a time. I usually worked at least 8-10 hours off the clock because I felt I owed it due to my becoming slower. Finally in 2003 the doc felt I would hurt myself or someone else if he did not pull me out of work. so, believe me I understand. I was in management at times. There were times people thought I was drunk become of my bad balance. I did not disclose for a long time, but it was better than getting fired for being drunk. not to mention the incredible pain I endured and the large amouts of script meds plus over the counter meds. Doc was afraid I would OD because of the volumn of dugs I was taking.
