Everyday Systems

Thank you ClarinetGal and KCCC for the welcome! :)

KCCC, I think I misposted on the title of my thread. I should have called it "living happy in an imperfect body" because I'm pretty much a happy camper no matter what comes my way or what my weight. ;) But I'm glad you stopped by to pay a visit ...

Thank you Eschano and Gingerpie for the great tips!

I'm 51 yrs. young and I had to take a deep breath while reading about all your wonderful exercising. WTG!!! Were you always so active? Is there hope for an old dog like me, who has to push myself just to ...
