Hi, Reann ~

Good for you! The MakeMeThinner Gang just joined the YMCA and we are going to be heading for the weight room, the tranquility room (that would be Terry and Unca) and I'm heading for the pool! We'll go next week when the kids are all back in school.

Our days here in the NW are dark, dreary and very wet so walking outdoors is a soggy affair with a flashlight in hand!

I stay quite active during the summer and fall but I recognize my need to move and improve during the winter and spring. Terry bought a silver work out shirt and I bought a sportsbra and black stretch pants with a pink racing stripe - of course, I also have a black outfit with leopard print trim...

Look out everyone, Reann is spinnin' her wheels and is the leader of the pack!
