well, it is more than just "motivation." When I was in my best physical shape, I weighed about 130 pounds. I was extremely skinny but could handle 4 hours of dance classes in the norning, followed by 3 hours of Kung Fu in the evening and a 5 mile run home. I now weigh 295 pounds. I just took a 15 minute walk, which exhausted me, but given that 33 years ago, this was the equivalent of carrying my younger self on my back while wearing a 35 pound backpack, I guess I'm not THAT out of shape by comparison... Just horrifically fat. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
