**Update**

It's amazing what exercise (and realizing that it is PMS making you grouchy) can do for your mood. I walked 1 1/2 miles with my son in a half hour. Did 30 reps with a 25 lb barbell (I know, but it is a start), 30 crunches, and 30 squats.

My son is my hero. He is a very athletic 13 year-old, he's been playing football for 5 years, and wrestling for 2. I asked him today to help me with this whole exercise thing, and he was more than willing. He walked with me, and even held my hand at times. Literally, held my hand. My boy is awesome.
