I've been pretty good really, but I do have some problems on which to work.
This remains on the back burner, I learn and re-inforce certain things as I go.
I find exercise and red meat being cut from my diet is beneficial.
I need to follow a specific diet but the actual details of that I need to work out as I go.
Hands were becoming a major problem, but I started bouncing with both hands together and alternatively, with variations, which worked almost instantly, despite the neighbous' fears I was going mental because they had only seen netballers bounce balls.
I do despair of such rigidity in others over such a very simple activity.
If that's all they have to worry about in life, they have my sympathy.
I'm sure I'll be trying to solve problems until the day I die. I'm trying to defer that date as long as possible for I rather like this life and want to experience it fully before departing for the next one.
The ball has many benefits, it's light and a little smaller than soccer balls etc but,of course, much larger than a tennis ball.
So, with a build up in pace which happens almost automatically, I get that aerobics workout and I enjoy it and need to keep my wits about me while at the same time thinking of other things so it's great for my brain, too.
Sorry about writing a book, hope you have the time to read it.
You're doing a great job.
