Awesome! Feels good to pass the vibes along to others in need :)

I am going to be starting school for it, but I am a CPR instructor at the company I work for.

Thank you, you have done pretty amazing yourself!

Aww, thank you. Writing is wonderfully cathartic. :)

I know, right? Haha! No, I'm talking like going out with friends. Mornin' joe is different.

It is almost just a burn, like the muscles are tired or something. I haven't been at it that long, just over a month actually. I run normally on a treadmill, or on the side roads near my house.

BUMPPPPPP :D

Awesome, awesome! :)

Grocery shopping tonight, this is so going on the list. Thanks for the idea! :)

Kim, I happened on this thread by chance. And I'm glad I did. I love you spirit and way to go on the 19 lbs! I don't care who you are, getting in shape is hard, especially if there are additional obstacles in your way. It is all about the mindset and I applaud you on coming this far. I hope to have same determination ( and…

I'm fairly new to all of this posting and what not. But I am no stranger to changing my eating habits for the better. This entire journey that we are committing ourselves to on a DAILY basis isn't easy. But if there is one think I have learned is don't tell yourself no.
