[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 139326, member: 3388"] How about the BAD news first??? I still haven't taken the resistance bands out of the box!!! They must be collecting dust by now... I've decided not to mention them again until I actually use them. It's one of those things - I know I should do some strength training BUT I'm just not emotionally ready yet... I don't feel guilty enough to do anything about it right now... The good news is that I've been jogging/running 7days/week. I think this has helped me emotionally. in my humble opinion, there definitely is a MAJOR connection between moods and physical activity!!!
