thank you guys!!!! it's so good to be back! noff, i worked up a sweat!!! haha yay! my thighs are sore. too bad one workout doesn't get me back into great shape! but working out is addictive...if i push myself to be active the next week or so, it'll just become habit and then it won't be as much of a push. that's what i'm telling myself anyway. thanks for the warm welcome back! <3 earthan
