  • Hi All! I have to check into your Action on Happiness calendar. Sounds like something that may be good for me. I'm impressed with your plank challenge. Dang...that is hard stuff.

  • Hi Beverly! Wow...just that you completed a half marathon is just amazing!! Way to go! Gosh, that is scary about your liver enzymes being elevated.

  • Hi All: Just checking in. I could have written your post Beverly! I sometimes think I am a sugar addict so I try to avoid at all cost but dang it is hard around this time of year.

  • @Beverly ....wow 1.6 pounds...that is amazing. I am happy to lose 1 pound a week. No I have not tried the Intermittent Fasting really.

  • Hi All! @greg....wow that area you describe sounds so beautiful! I live in the city and love it but there are no lakes around here....large creeks that are nice to walk around.
