I started by just dancing in front of the TV. (don't laugh) Now I am using one of those step things (SMILE) and lifting 5lb weights for about 45 min. Then I am switching to 10 lb weights for another 10 to 12 min. (during this time I am still using the stepper and doing other cardio movements. I have been doing this at least 6 times a week. Mostly at night. I lost my parent November 24,2002 in a private plane crash. If that wasn't bad enough, my brother died this last October. We still don't know why. He was thin, lifted weights and ran at least 4 times a week. Scary huh? I think that you can safely say that I have had a really bad couple of years. I am finding that working out is helping me feel better and look better. I am very grateful to have this site to learn so much about from all of you experts! Thanks

	2003/12/17, 10:49 AM Hell, she was the one taking the picture.I was sitting behind her. She wanted to pat him on his cute enormous head.
