Q What happened during the best day of your week?
I think the best day of the week was actually Sunday. I did a leisurely grocery shopping, had a manicure, enjoyed some reading time, a nice ride on my bike and made a nice dinner with DD and her BF here.
Olympics, Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Golf…
Q Can you name one or more professional athletes - women athletes: either in history, today, or within the last century?
Anybody who I thought of was already spoken for!
Q If you made very little-to-no effort in your fitness, how would that effect your day-to-day living?
I know that regular fitness not just the medication is a key factor for keeping my bp under control. Regular fitness helps to maintain healthy eating. My mood and general outlook on things is definitely affected by lack of exercise. My eating habits are effected by lack of exercise. We'll just say I feel a lot better when I exercise on a regular basis. That's why one of my goals is stay consistent!
