Well.. I would never be a vegan. Unless I was allergic to meat... lol and I did read about a tick that can cause people to become allergic to meat... how horrifying D:

I'm about 105 and 5`6. I think the most I ever weighed was about 120 or so... and that was when my body had a bunch of water retention from my illness. So, I guess that doesn't count.

I want to be about 115... muscle weight! It can be hard to get/stay in shape. I know I'm skinny, but I wouldn't say I am "in shape" yet either.

In the summer I do my Karate exercises every other day.

Michelle sounds like she's in good shape and watch out Cher, she does karate.

Our Sensei are a Korean husband and wife team. He is like this little person. She is taller and we all think she could take him with ease. hahaha

American society is notoriously overweight and overworked.
At my hospital we work 10 hour, not 8 hour shifts.
Many people there smoke too which kills me.
The divorce rate also seems higher than normal, but I don't have any numbers.

Americans it seems just don't know how to relax.
And no, everyone is not rich like others think.

Peace!

Every dustbin day, I drive past stuff that is repairable. Every supermarket has a waste bin filled daily with unwanted food. You are rich.

She recently became the first female pilot in the Blue Angels, the Navy's precision flight team. Good for you, Katie!

I know I won't always look like this.
but my mom is 46, and still got carded just 5 years ago.

I'm praying I can still make a few people
elbow up from the sand
a bit to see me strut by.

I refuse to oaf out at 50.

Peace!
