South Beach Diet – I tried it!
I had been gaining weight and pretending to be doing all the right things to get it off to no avail. Then we decided to remodel the kitchen which led to an even less ability to cook and eat the best kind of meals. At my annual exam I was complaining about my plight and…

We can now repeatedly run a total of 5k (3.1 miles) at a time. We run together about once a week in the parking lot across the street. Sometimes we do better, sometimes not so much. We decided to sign up for another 5k, our first was last fall. As long as there is a…
