I don't sleep as well, I'm more tired and my mental acuity is plagued with guilt from not going. If I can just go and manage 30 minutes on my least motivated day, I've overcome an obstacle of my own creation.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-10449520048084726712013-03-04T14:04:04.248-05:002013-03-04T14:04:04.248-05:00christopher, Yes.

They were, apparently, widely used. Maybe that's where somebody came up with the idea of the personal vibrator.

Then again, the age factor works against us. Andre Agassi wrote about having to work twice as hard in his thirties to maintain strength and agility he had in his late teens early twenties. Twice as hard! I tell myself that when I'm onto the next challenge.

Now I want to pop a couple hundred for one of those belts you wear that electronically contract your stomach muscles while I sit around blogging. Yep. I'm lazy. It's a good thing I'm not that into food, but wine -- that's another story.injaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-15053602035097441502013-03-03T18:33:34.311-05:002013-03-03T18:33:34.311-05:00Sounds like success to me!

When I had to give up all my outdoor hobbies to a dysfunctional knee... that did it. I lost forty pounds, got a new knee and also got my life back. My only regret was not have done it all 10 years earlier. Glad to read you went ahead...:)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-56950484703463133582013-03-03T16:48:20.032-05:002013-03-03T16:48:20.032-05:00Wonderful, Cali!

I got it off in 2011 and had to work HARD to keep it off, but still some crept back. Now I'm down there again and intend to stay there. I use an app called "Lose It!" on my iPhone and track everything I eat. It sure helps when I have to write it down. And I DO like the way I feel when I weigh less. Congratulations! Way to go!!DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
