OK, OK....I know that I knew a lot about what I was supposed to be doing..but somehow I just couldnt' get motivated to put better habits in practice. You know the saying that someimes you have to hit bottom before you are ready to climb your way back up to the top??? Well, I kind of feel like I did that.

I have boy-gilr twins 19 years old that I want to see well into their adult years and I want to get back to being the active person I once was.
