Children lost for 40 years
Well, for those interested, you can go to my profile and see the last two pictures of my twin girls with whom I've had the most exhilarating weekend.

spray tan?
Has anyone tried this? I would like to do it before a vacation to Mexico-but not sure. Will it wear off in the pool or ocean? Will it smear onto my clothes? How long will it last for? Any input would be appreciated!

Updating goals...

When I put in two hours of walking at a slow (2 mph) pace it comes up with a ridiculous number of calories, so I cut it down to about 75…
