  • I've been derailed this month. It started with knee pain and while I was recovering from that I came down with the flu. Th doctor said I should wait at least a week (or two) to start pushing myself again. <sigh>

    But I will return, do my best for the rest of April, and then rock the May challenge.
  • Yay, casakran! It's wonderful to feel on the right track with exercise. I'm always astounded with how many other things that effects -- mood, sleep, willingness to eat healthy foods.

    KarinRose: hope you're feeling better soon. Good for you for posting here and setting your commitment to get back on track. That's a great attitude!
