I keep exercising b/c I started to have aches and pains quilting. I don't want to stop quilting so I exercise nearly everyday when I first get up. I'm no good at that time of day so I do the Wii Fit Plus for at least 30". I've downsized 16#s and am feeling better and better. I keep my ironing board across the room from DSM and that makes me get up and walk to get to the board. I don't want applique bottom. LOL Give up nothing for quilting. Gained quite a bit. I need to govern my computer time better. I'm still working but not quite full-time. I don't cook.
