Okay, my good friend Angi has been dragging me to the gym. She is a good friend because she inspires me to go even though I grumble and post mean things about her.
I'm not sure how long this kick will last. As with all my exercising attempts, it's all or nothing....I'm good for a while and then it all stops (for various reasons).
So stop in- check up on me, encourage me and even join me in my quest for better health.
We all need a little encouragement now and then right ;)

Something to think about....
Saw this the other day and LOVED it and wanted to share it with all of you.
Squeeze every minute out of life....
Someone asked me the other day if I had my life to live over would I change anything. My answer was no, but then I thought about it and changed my mind. If I had my life to live over again, I would have waxed less and listened more.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy and complaining about the shadow over my feet, I'd have cherished every minute of it and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was to be my only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
I would never have insisted the car windows he rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten popcorn in the "good" living room and worried less about the dirt when you lit the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would have burnt the pink candle sculptured like a rose before it melted while being stored.
I would have sat cross-legged on the lawn with my children and never worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television....and more while watching real life.
I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband which I took for granted.
I would have eaten less cottage cheese and more ice cream.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for a day.
There would have been more I love you's........more I'm sorry's.....more listening........ but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute of it....exhaust it......and never give that minute back until there was nothing left of it.....
