My point in writing this is that what you do with your body – whether it’s trying different eating styles, ways to get healthier, ways to lose weight, ways to exercise to make yourself stronger, with better balance, and more stamina, are all individual decisions that will be different for each of us.
Thank goodness we have lots of options, lots of suggestions, plus information we can research to learn what is right for us.
Keep sharing things that you find help you. They may help others, as well.
Kudos to all of us for TRYING to be the healthiest we can be!
