I am not doing it for health issues though diabetes due to weight does run in my family a long with heart issues and high blood pressure. Me losing weight will lessen the chances of getting any of those issues. I do have hip, knee, and ankle issues and getting some weight off my body and strengthen the muscles around those joints will help. I am not dieting, diets do not work.

I hand out busness cards everywhere i can. What more can i do with out being published?

I am off to bed so I stop thinking so hard Happy reading Happy writin
