I'm doing more things which produce more positive thoughts about my appearance like my makeup and yoga.

It's good to be positive.

I always see the good in myself: there are faults BUT I don't dwell on them and try to stick to my good side.

Anyhow, I've done Yoga loads of times and always love it. It is actually not easy like some people assume it to be: Yoga is sweaty work. I do also feel makeup helps someone feel better. If you're happy when you've applied your makeup that is a good thing. Looking good makes anyone feel better.

Keep staying positive!

Doing a few leg raises every morning. I think I am beginning to see the benefit.

I'm too impatient to do muscle building exercise. It takes FOREVER. I just can't be bothered.

Anyhow, you've obviously got the patience to work on your body, which is great.

It is something I have been doing for years now, but more coz it strengthens the core back muscles. Basically, anything tht strengthens the abdomen area, does the back core too.

I have been doing, on and off. I find that I get lazy and it dies out but after a while I realise that I'm getting flabby so push myself again.

Flabby, is one of those great words, that really says what it is.

I forget the name for those types of words. Anyone?

...and the memory kicks in before the exe.

Onomatopoeia.

I haven't run anywhere for ages. Exercise is more a state of mind with me. Why ride when it's easy and more healthy to walk. You like fresh air. Get out in it. Take a bus to the countryside, if you have to, and explore.

I'd be outdoors all the time if I could but work and some obligations mean that I can't. So I settle for whenever and as much as I can.

I dont run either. But walking is wonderful. I love a wander in the woods with just the sound and smells of nature.

We constantly look for new places to explore and walk in. Some are rich in plant life others in anmails or birds its amazing the adventures you can have within a half hour of home.
