Tackling the first step is the greatest step in tackling the world! You look beautiful and ready to tackling anything.
I'm looking forward to feeling like I can tackle the world! I also want to be able to work out again!!! Over the past 5 years or so, I'm convinced that regular workouts have kept me healthy. I've looked at it as 'training' for my surgery. Unfortunately, they're becoming more... Read more.
