 Woah it has been a while but I have not stopped being concerned for my health and for others. I still watch what I eat and encourage others to do the same. Then I need to get more active.

I am determined to keep going until it's time to do weights and serious cardio! Woowoo! The season WILL come because I have 'will' for it! :) Be encouraged! PS: baby was breastfed for 15 months!
